Question: Requesting clarification on the exclusion of the manufacturing of specific items identified on both drawings listed in Paragraphs 3.1.2 and 3.1.6:

Paragraph 3.1.2 of the SOW directs to manufacture all equipment on Dwg 8216564 excluding bedplate assembly H&510112-A4, per 3.1.2.2.

Paragraph 3.1.6. of the SOW directs to manufacture all equipment on Dwg 8216569 excluding assemblies A116, A133, A135, A137, A139, A141, per 3.1.6.2, and A145, per 3.1.6.3.

Assemblies A116, A133, A135, A137, A139, A141, and A145 appear on both drawings 8216564 and 8216569.
