Reference Question Response

Page Section Paragraph

1 08/11/25 1 01 14 00 1.2

Due to the long validity periods of bids and multiple schedules included in the contract (preferred, alternate, contractual, and annual holiday berthing period), bidders must understand when the Government anticipates to Award the project and provide NTP. Please clarify the anticipated Award and NTP dates.

As of now, both dates are 15 September 2025.

2 08/11/25 1 01 14 00 1.2

The Execution Schedule:

Preferred (October 13 - December 15) and Alternative (January 12 - April 13) do not agree with the Naval Station Norfolk Schedule (paragraph e) which states that, "dredging work or hydroid net work may only occur during the period from 15 Nov - 15 Jan of any year with special authorization by the Contracting Officer (holiday berthing period of restricted contractor activity". Please clarify these discrepancies and provide ONE clear schedule and contract period, so all bidders can price the same project and schedule accordingly.

See Design Revision 02.

3 08/11/25 25-26 Solicitation FAR

FAR 52.211-18 (Variation in Estimated Quantity), is not expressly incorporated into the contract like other FAR or DFARS clauses that are formally listed. The primary solicitation document (Solicitation___N4008525B0006) includes several pages of clauses incorporated by reference, starting around page 26 of the PDF. Based on that list, the reference to FAR 52.211-18 in Attachment A Specifications appears to be informational rather than binding. In other words, its mention alone may not carry enforceable legal weight since FAR 52.211-18 isn’t incorporated by reference in that formal list.

Please clarify.

FAR 52.211-18

not required.

4 08/11/25 3 00 10 00 1
