QUESTION AND ANSWER

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

The abstract of the Statement of Work states the following:

o This item describes the requirement to accomplish Top End Overhaul #2, 3 and 5 Ship Service Diesel Generator (SSDG) with an authorized CATERPILLAR technical representative, providing oversight and assistance during the rebuild process. The parts for the top end overhaul shall be provided by the authorized CAT dealer.

1. Can you clarify if this means the Caterpillar dealer is to supply only the technical representative or the technical representative and all of the labor necessary to successfully complete the work as described in the Statement or Work? If the authorized Caterpillar dealer is to supply the technical representative and all of the labor, what certifications must all of the labor have?

ANSWER: The Caterpillar Representative will provide technical oversight and work hand in hand with the ship’s crew. The crew is expecting to perform the majority of the work. All parts shall be provided by Caterpillar.
