SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

Question #1: Paragraph 1.1 Vessel Characteristics shows vessel as 40 ft. in width. The reference drawing 10504 (4) and (5) shows the vessel as two 5 ft. wide segments joined to equal 10 ft. overall width. For estimating purposes what overall width is the vessel??

Answer #1: While assembled for transport the combined width of the 4 sections is 40 feet. Each individual section 10504(1), 10504(2),10504(3),10504(4) has an individual width of 10 feet.

Overall dimensions of each individual section is:

Length: 50 feet (DWG FISC_PUDGET_SOUND_10504(1).pdf) Width: 10 feet (DWG FISC_PUDGET_SOUND_10504(3).pdf) Height: 4 feet 0 1/2 inches (DWG FISC_PUDGET_SOUND_10504(1).pdf) This answer does not constitute a change to the solicitation

Question #2: The Specification Paragraphs 3.2 Hull Repairs, 3.3 Structural Repairs (in part), and 3.4 Tanks/Voids references drawing 10501, the reference drawings sent are 10504. Will the Government be sending these 10501 drawings, and if so when?

Answer #2: FISC_PUDGET_SOUND_10504 is the correct drawing and was provided with the solicitation.

ERRATA to follow. This answer does constitute a change to the solicitation, and is reflected in the summary of changes of this amendment.

Question #3: Page 22 of 49 lists FAR Clause 52.219.14 as being Incorporated. Contractor requests clarification of the requirements of this Clause. Is it the Governments intent to restrict Contractors from Subcontracting more than 50 percent of the cost of contract to any Subcontractor or may the Contractor utilize Small Business Subcontractors to perform more than 50 percent of the Contract cost?

Answer #3: In accordance with 13 CFR 125.6(a)(2)(i), subcontracted firms that are “similarly situated” to the prime contractor do not count against the 50% subcontract amount. Because of this, any small business that utilizes other small business subcontractors would not count toward the 50%.

Also please be aware that the direct cost of materials are excluded from this requirement, as they are not considered to be subcontracted.

This answer does not constitute a change to the solicitation

Question #4: We would like to request a shipcheck for Segmented Barge 10504 Solicitation Number: N4523A19R1064. Please let us know when the vessel is available for a visit.

Answer #4: Vessel is not available for shipcheck prior to availability. This answer does not constitute a change to the solicitation

Question #5: Paragraph 3.4.7.2 is incomplete. Contractor requests more information on the Make, Model, and any other information to be able to correctly locate parts required if available?

Answer #5: ERRATA to follow addressing paragraph 3.4.7.2. This answer does constitute a change to the solicitation, and is reflected in the summary of changes of this amendment.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR OFFERORS

1. GENERAL:

a. Instructions:

1. Offerors shall submit their proposals in accordance with the following preparation instructions.

Therefore, the Government encourages offerors to contact the contracting officer (KO) in writing in order to request an explanation of any aspect of these instructions.

2. A proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements but rather provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror meets these requirements.

Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal.

3. If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the KO in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the KO to consider as related to the omission or error.

4. Relationship between Instructions and Evaluation: Your attention is directed to the functional relationship between Sections L and M of this solicitation. Section L provides information for the purpose of organizing the proposal and is not intended to be all inclusive.

Section M describes evaluation factors for award. Since the Government evaluation of proposals will cover areas identified in section M, proposals should address all such areas of evaluation.

5. ALL INQUIRIES shall be made via email and directed to Cindy Means, Contract Specialist, and George Rutt, Contracting Officer, at cindy.means@navy.mil and geroge.rutt@navy.mil.
