Q1) Period of Performance is: Award date +60 days. (estimated 4/9/18-6/9/18); please correct the date.

A1) Those dates are old; apologies for missing that in the revision. The POP is still award+60 days.

A2) The security language was removed from the FBO notice, as I believe it will not be applicable.

Q3) What are the "Ideas" layers in reference to Autocad?

A3) This is an acronym that means “Integrated design and engineering analysis system,” which means that the plans should consider all changes to all systems involved. A little more detail can be found here: https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/680728/.

Q4) Would PNS permit a contractor to obtain NMD-R access post award?

A4) PNS does not have access to the system, and is not aware of the timeline required to gain access to NMD-R. There is a document online (found at the link below) that contains help desk phone numbers for user accounts (on slide 36), that may be used to gain more information. http://www.portengineerprogram.org/CP06-4-NMD-Planning/html5.html.

Q5) A5)
