SUMMARY OF CHANGES

AMENDMENT 002

AMENDMENT 002 is issued to incorporate the following changes and answer PPI questions:

Please submit you PPI form in a word format only, not .pdf.

PPI Question:

FUEL CELLS On Dwg, EP 602 we read that the Fuel Cell shall be 400 KW/472 KVA.

Specification Section 48 18 13.0050 Paragraph 1.6.3 “Design and Performance Requirements” reads:

Design and Performance Requirements

Power at Plant Rating, kW 300

Output Voltage, Volts 380

Frequency, Hz 50

Please clarify the different requirement.

Government Response: The required fuel cell rating is 400kW/472kVA, 380V, 50 HZ.

Donald Sellers, 02.09.15

PPI Question:

Section 48 18 13.00 50 – ELECTRICAL POWER GERNATION FUEL CELLS

The producer asked us questions that we indicated below:

1. Are you aware that they included two inconsistent performance specifications? Paragraph

1.6.3 describes a product similar to our DFC300 with 300 K W output, but paragraph 2.3.4 describes a unit like UTC/Clearedge/Doosan 400 KW system.

2. Does the customer really want load following (which is mentioned in the section 2.3.4?

3. The mixed country standards could e a problem, since our DFC250 or 400 units are not

CSA-FC1 certified, but they do meet European CE standards.

4. Does the customer really need an absolute NO-BREAK POWER? To disconnect from the grid takes usually some microseconds. If this would be to long for the powered equipment we would have to add advanced switches and probably an additional transformer.

5. Do we really have to operate on natural gas and anaerobic digester gas (means we’ll blend the gas?)

6. Please clarify Thanks

Government Response:

1. Fuel cell shall be rated for 400KW

2. Provide load following capability as specified.

3. The unit must meet cited European and CE standards. Meeting CSA-FC1 is not required.

4. Paragraph 2.3.1 requires transition to grid-independent operation in less than 10 seconds during utility grid outages.

5. Unit shall operate on natural gas only. Anaerobic digester gas operation is not required or desired.

PPI Question: As the host country (Italy) belongs to the European Union, you may know that all the Member States are in the Common European Market, so all the countries shall have the fair opportunity to compete for this efforts. Being said that, instead of the SOA Certification, which is only for italian companies, we would like to request the Navy to include the possibility of including in lieu of the SOA Certification, an equivalent document, issued by a competent authority of any member country of the European Union. A third competent party shall certify -

IN ENGLISH- that the document is equivalent to the Italian SOA classifications required in this bid, just as we have been addressed to do in other projects within the US Department of Defense.

Additionally, we can include the Italian classifications through a Letter of Commitment with a

Designated Subcontractor. Thank you

Government Response: Please refer to pages 11 and 12 of the RFP. The Government has to follow these requirements and the host nation requirements.

PPI Question: We would like to verify that we can submit documents in A4 format.

Government Response: Yes this is possible.

PPI Question: In the RFP, section 1.2. PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE AND SITE VISIT

(page 8 of 50) it is stated that "Conference will start promptly at 1300 and those not in attendance will not be allowed to participate."

Do you mean that if the Offeror did not attend the Pre-proposal Conference and Site Visit, then it won't be allowed to submit a Bid Proposal? Or maybe the meaning is that if the Offeror does not arrive on time at 1300 it won't be allowed neither to participate in the Pre-proposal Conference and Site Visit? Since we could not attend the Pre-proposal Conference and Site Visit we would like to clarify the meaning of the sentence.

Thank you

Government Response: Your firm can still submit a proposal, even though they did not attend the site visit. What it meant was that if the offeror did not arrive on time they would not be allowed to attend.

B. ALL OTHER ITEMS:

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AMENDMENT ON YOUR BID
