RFIs and Answers

1. Kindly clarify inside box which you mentioned as full clearance, usually the middle will need higher clearance for the tail of plane. The requested 9 meter height for 22m width is too wide as the structure itself will be need to be at least 30 m wide to achieve 9 m height in middle. A plane normally doesn't need this much height. It would be better to provide us measurement of plane so we can draw it into the structure to give you a perfect plan; a box doesn't have the same dimensions as a plane. The box is as stated.

70 ft

29 ft

2. You requested tan outside and white inside whereas industry standard is tan both inside and outside. Is this an option? Yes

3. Is delivery option to Djibouti or to port in Mogadishu, Somalia? Customs clearing and local transport is very tough in Somalia. The military will provide support clearing customs but will provide no security or movement support to BMA. Acceptance will occur at FOB Destination ONLY meaning the materials are on site at BMA and the SME has provided acceptable support before we sign a vendor’s invoice. We require a BOL, packing list and commercial invoice 21 days in advance of movement to process clearing customs.

4. Request to extend due date for another two weeks to prepare best price proposal. Proposal due date is unchanged. If no acceptable offers are received, the requirement will be adjusted and re-posted.

5. Questions on Shipment of the shelter and material- Do you want me to give you a shipping cost by sea to Camp Lemonier, Djibouti Africa then you transport it to BMA Somalia or deliver Door to Door 2 -40 ft High Cube containers to BMA Somalia? Delivery will be FOB Destination; containers, totes, pallets, etc are accepted at BMA only.

5. What are the payment terms? Payment will be remitted once structure is installed and accepted. No advance payment is authorized and payment processing takes 30-60 days after acceptance.
