Question Answer

1. 2.1 2.1.1 states that specific location will be provided at time of award; 2.1.2 indicates water depths ranging from 20m to 4000m. In order to create realistic survey plans and associated costs, would NAVO advise the approx. percentage of water depths in depth ranges across each site: e.g. % shallower than 100 meters; % 100 to 500 meters; % from 500 to 1000 meters and % deeper than 1000 meters.

An accurate % of depth ranges cannot be given, as areas chosen are unsurveyed and were picked using altimetry data. Estimate using altimetry data is as follows:

1 area estimating to have approximate depth of 245m at the peak with moderate sloping grade.

The other area, estimated at 400m depth range at peak.

These again are estimates based entirely on altimetry data.

2. 2.1.3 2.1.3 states areas will be 100 square nmi in size. How many separate 100 square nmi areas are there in total? Is there a single 100 square nmi area for Survey Area 1 (CLIN 0001), and also a single 100 square nmi area for Survey

Area 2 (CLIN 0002)?

There are only 2 areas to be surveyed. Both are approximately 100sq nm.
