SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0002

No. Reference Question Answer

3 Solicitation Attachment A

In Attachment A, the last page with instructions indicates that the Contractor is responsible for filling out #17 and #18, however there does not appear to be any #17 or #18 to fill out in Attachment A. Are we missing something?

CDRL instructions 17-18 are “For the Contractor” in regards to developing cost/price.

4 Solicitation PWS The CHS Report technical requirements indicates that the Contractor will be responsible for paying for the laboratory analytical suites for all the samples collected by the Navy GPO from the CHS, however we do not see a reference to the total number of samples to be collected by the Navy GPO each year. The number of samples that will be analyzed is necessary in order to appropriately include these fees in our bid.

We have 6 sites we sample from and take 3 samples per site for the sampling. We have scaled back on what we have been analyzing for because of cost, which is why this cost is included in the scope instead to get as much analyzed for what makes sense.

Currently, though, we have been getting the samples analyzed for: Bicarb Alkalinity, Carbonate Alkalinity, Hydroxide Alkalinity, Total Alkalinity, Atimony, Arsenic, Bromide, Chloride, Copper, Filtration, Fluoride, Manganese, pH, pH Temp, Selenium, Conductivity, Sulfate, Thallium, TDS and Zinc.

5 Solicitation PWS For the Geochem Report, Task 3, does the Navy GPO have an existing Leapfrog or AcrScene model built that can be expanded upon, or will the Contractor be responsible for constructing this new, from the ground up?

We do have a working Leapfrog conceptual model that includes well head, well bore, geology, temperature, seismicity to date.

If a completed CPARS evaluation is available on the CPARS website for the contract/project, the offeror must submit the CPARS evaluation for the project/contract. If there is not a completed CPARS evaluation for the project/contract, a PPQ must be submitted. A PPQ form is included as an attachment D to the solicitation.

The Government may utilize previously submitted PPQ information or any other information available in the past performance evaluation.
