The following have been added by reference:

52.219-4 Notice of Price Evaluation Preference for HUBZone Small

Business Concerns

MAR 2020

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0001 Q & A

1. Can the Navy conduct a site visit for the bidders? Can a site visit be arranged within the next two weeks?

Yes, the following clauses were inadvertently not included in the solicitation and are added and included via this amendment. Please refer to the following clauses for date and time of the site visit.

- L-215-H001PREBID/PREPROPOSAL CONFERENCE--BASIC (NAVSEA)

- L-237-W001 PREBID/PREPROPOSAL SITE VISIT (NAVSEA)

2. Would it be possible to receive a by-weekly or monthly breakdown of production? Can we get this for the last five years? This would help us with developing a use-and- production analysis over a time period.

This information is not available. Historically, NNSY has required the contractor to swap out facilities trailers usually twice in a year. The water trailer for the ships will usually last 8-12 months before a swap out is required.

3. What determines the quantities of deionized (DI) water required?

Estimates based on previous availabilities.

4. Is there any prediction of future requirements of DI water?

This is based on the workload of ships coming into NNSY.

Based on the waterfront up to 7-8 units could be required at a time in 2021-2022, with the possibility for 9 units in 2023. 7-8 units in 2024. This assumes some delays in projects. This does not account for emergent projects.

5. Are DI requirements tied to Navy Shipyard production? What is the outlook for the shipyard production?

The requirements are tied to how many ships are in at any given time at NNSY. There are three water trailers that are used at Building 163, Building 171 and Building 202 that have not been removed. For the building locations, the trailers are tied to boilers and in shop testing of valves/equipment on the ships.

6. How would you predict future DI water requirements -- decreasing, steady-state, or increasing?

Increasing. Existing contract N00189-16-D-0001 requested a total of six (6) trailers. This follow-on requirement is requesting a total of ten (10) trailers.

7. Can we provide our own yard truck to move the trailers? Is there room to store our yard truck in the Naval Yard?

Currently it is the responsibility of the contractor to provide their own truck to deliver/swap out/pick up their water trailers. At this time, NNSY does not have storage area to store trucks on site. Please see section

8.2 of the PWS for additional guidance.

8. Is there room in the yard to store a back-up DI trailer for quick swap out?

Currently there is not any storage area to store a back up trailer on site.

9. Given this is an open solicitation, is there credit for HUB Zone or SDVOSM in the award consideration?

The following clause were inadvertently not included in the solicitation and are added and included via this amendment: Class Deviation 2020-O0008.

HUBZone: Certification from SBA applies and the offeror’s SAM record must indicate if their business is a HUB Zone or SDVOSB.

HUBZone Price Evaluation Preference (PEP) applies for acquisitions using Full and Open competition in accordance with class deviation 2020-O0008. The contracting officer shall give offers from a HUBZone small business a “price evaluation preference” by adding a factor of 10% to all offers (large businesses)

EXCEPT—

- Offers from HUBZone SBs that have not waived the evaluation preference.

- Otherwise successful offers from small business concerns (apparent low offer).

SDVOSB: Credit for a SDVOSB does not apply to this acquisition since the requirement was not Set Aside for SDVOSB.

10. Is there any aspect regarding this task that the Navy and Shipyard want improved such as performance, service, and equipment? In other words what can we do to provide better service and performance?

The current contractor has an employee on site Monday through Friday and is engaged with the requirements owners for each Building and each ship. Engagement with requirements owner will help facilitate any issues and resolve problems in a timely manner.

11. What is the billing cycle for this contract in WAWF? How long are the task orders or task order period? Does the contractor bill for task orders monthly or by DI H2O quantity supplied, or by unit days per month?

Invoices are usually submitted for each month from the beginning of the month to the end of the month and are submitted per task order. The billing is based on the rental of the equipment per month and the contractor on-site technicians daily rate times the number of days per month. In addition, deliver/swap outs of trailers are billed accordingly. The Training CLINs are usually a one time charge and the on-site technician will train NNSY project team on how to take samples on the weekends. The contractor on-site technician takes samples Monday-Friday and NNSY project team take samples Saturday and Sunday.

Training is usually done 1-2 days after the water trailer has been delivered.

Please review DFARS clause 252.232-7006 and NAVSEA clause G-232-H005 for additional guidance and information.

Historically, task orders may be issued for up to a 12 month period of performance.

The invoice The WAWF document type for this anticipated contract is Invoice 2in1. The Invoice 2in1 WAWF type are used for Firm Fixed Price Services contracts/CLINs with no supply deliverables. This invoice type requires acceptance from the COR.

12. What, if any, are reporting requirements?

On site technician will stay engaged with the projects/requirements owner and report to the COR regarding any safety issues, scheduled swap outs or other correspondence with the requirements owner.

13. What header connection types are required?

Water will need a 1 ½ swivel fresh water connection. Please refer to paragraph 6.2 of the PWS for additional guidance.

Electrical- 2 connections 110v. Please refer to paragraph 2.3 of the PWS for additional guidance.

14. What is the targeted implementation date?

The current contract ends June 02, 2021. The equipment needs to be on site and operational June 03, 2021.

Contractor employees need to have all on site employees badging request to the COR 21 days (minimum) before arriving to NNSY. There is a 21 days approval time once request are made and then employees must go to NNSY Pass and ID badge to be able to enter the NNSY CIA.

15. Have icing issues have been a problem in the past?

No, there have not been any issues. Please refer to paragraphs 2.0, 8.5, 9.4, and 9.5 of PWS for additional guidance on the contractor’s and Government responsibilities for freeze protection.

16. In case of a hurricane or major storm targeting Hampton Roads, will the trailers have to be evacuated? Does an equipment evacuation plan have to be built-in or considered?

No, hurricane prep will be done by NNSY.

These trailers will be in an industrial area which is subject to minor damage/accidents to equipment.

In addition, during an hazardous weather event, the contractor would have to engage with the COR to secure their equipment. If the shipyard senses the equipment could endanger personnel or vessels during an event, project or facility personnel would engage with the COR to have the equipment moved.

17. Next to war, are there any identified significant risks to the NNSY such as fire, terrorism, natural disasters (storms)? We understand that there are plans in place but would like to consider potential impacts, insurance ramifications, and costs.

NNSY is an industrial environment and military installation where the Navy’s nuclear fleet is modernized and refurbished. The shipyard takes all practical mitigating actions however, NNSY is located in a low lying coastal community, and could be a potential target during time of war or terrorism.

18. Would the selection committee, KO and Yard SME be interested in visiting regeneration facilities?

NNSY does not have any interest to visit any contractor facilities prior to award.

4.2 The sample valve shall be situated prior to the flowmeter; hence the government shall not be required to pay for processed water expelled while obtaining a satisfactory sample.

4.3 Sampling:

4.3.1 The contractor shall deliver daily water samples to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard test facility (C134) prior to the start of the regular work shift (07:20 AM to 3:50 PM) Monday through Friday.
