4) We are trying to determine how to price our offer. When will the discharge port be declared / determined?

ANSWER: See box 73 of the RFP to answer both questions. See Part X (6)52.212-1 of the RFP. See CALL OUT Instructions of the RFP for when the discharge port will be declared.

5) Are we to provide berthing and victualing for the two days mentioned for these 10? And if so, would these 10 and the eight supercargoes overlap at any time?

ANSWER: The 10 people mentioned in the Summary of Operations will not overlap with the eight Supercargo. The “10” are the load team members consisting of the MSC Rep, IMS, SEA 00C, and HL USNR. The “10” will depart after on-loading. The eight are the supercargo that will make the transit per the contract; they get on 12 hours prior to departure. Once the ship moves to the pier to do sea fastening the “10” gets off.
