QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS #1

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 contractor would like to request that the general services item be amended to +/- 5% of 450 volts, which will allow for the ship to take standard shore.
