QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The following are answers to questions received from potential offerors. The answers provide clarification only and DO NOT constitute an amendment to the solicitation.

QUESTION 28:

SPECIFICATION ITEM NO.: 0203 & 0204

PARAGRAPH / SECTION NO:

TITLE: OVERHAUL OF #3 & #4 MDG’s

QUESTION:

We still need clarification of the work scope for these items.

The 30,000 hour response to question 13 would lead you to believe that the scope of work is inclusive of the work from page 8 to page 15.

The 60,000 hour response to question 14 would lead you to believe that the scope of work is inclusive of the work from page 8 to page 15.

The response to question 19 looks like we are only to do the 30,000 hour overhaul/maintenance which starts on page 14 and ends on page 15.

These are two different scopes of work which will definitely affect parts and labor pricing.

Also the response is not clear or did not address the 1042 kits/power packs that we are to install in the engines. At this point we could price the power packs and injectors that originally came with the engine (cheaper) which are different than what is currently installed. This will affect the spares that the ship has onboard and require new spares for the #3 and #4 engines.

Please clarify.

ANSWER:

WI 203 is for #3 Diesel Generator to perform a 30K hour overhaul only in accordance with MI 1722 inclusive of work from page 8 to 15.

WI 204 is for #4 Diesel Generator to perform a 60K hour overhaul only in accordance with MI 1722 inclusive of work from page 8 to 15.

Contractor is required to purchase all items necessary to perform required maintenance.

The power pack kits are to be the 1042 kits.

QUESTION 29:

SPECIFICATION ITEM NO.: _______903_______

PARAGRAPH / SECTION NO:_____ See Below_____ TITLE: Hull Preservation

QUESTION:

A) Should paragraph 7.2.4 read “surface preparation of the surfaces listed in 3.1.2.3” and paragraph 3.1.2.3 read “7.2.4”? This would clarify that there is only 4000 square feet to be blasted?

B) Should paragraph 7.3.3 read “to the surfaces specified in in 3.1.1.2.1 and 3.1.2.2”. This would clarify the underwater hull and freeboard are receiving top coats.

Only areas identified and approved to be painted in paragraph 7.1.7 will be blasted and painted.

Paragraph 7.2.4 Should Read.
