Apparently there is a huge disconnect between the two. Which one represents more the actual situation? If the historical are prepared by the incumbent please make sure they are not inflated to give the incumbent an unfair competitive edge.

Response: Yes, tools and equipment associated with services under technical specification 170000 will be provided as GFE under this contract.

Offerors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the entire substance of this clause. See revised 0200000-09 attached.

36. Question: The Government clearly stated that they will not sponsor contractor personnel. Since G&A, 2.7 Expenses states that the contractor is responsible for all such costs and those costs must be in the contract price, the Government is now causing the contractor to incur all costs for “Bahrainization” and include those costs in the proposed price. Bahrainization requires the contractor to:- Establish a branch office, or other legal entity, to employ all of its Expat work force

• Lease property in Bahrain, usually for the local office

• Establish a company bank account with certain amounts of money which must stay in Bahrain during the company’s presence in Bahrain,

• Have all persons directly hired by the Branch office to establish their own personal bank accounts

• Have all persons directly hired by the Branch office to obtain Bahrain driver’s licenses

• Require application of all Bahraini labor laws to US Expats to include payment of overtime, allowance for vacation time, and special end of employment payments

• The contractor must hire a certain number of Bahraini citizens to be employed in their Branch office. The Bahrain Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) can require the number of Bahrainis employed to be up to 50% of the number of Expats employed in the Branch. The exact percentage will be determined at the discretion of the LMRA.

• It is our understanding that Bahraini nationals are not allowed on Isa Airbase. Therefore, all contractors will be required to hire a number of Bahraini citizens who cannot work on the base, but must be paid even if they do not work. This is a requirement under Bahraini law.

Please confirm that the Government understands that not sponsoring Expat employees as NAVCENT has done in the past will have significant cost impacts; and, will require all responsive, responsible contractors to include in their proposal the cost of hiring 50 or more Bahranis who cannot access the base and who most likely cannot work on the contract, but must be employed to meet Bahrain’s legal requirements.

Response: As stated in Amendment 0015 Question #1, "No. NAVCENT will no longer sponsor contractors with a 5-year multiple entry visa." Refer to the "Contractors Visa" memo attached.

37. Question: Since the Government will not sponsor Expat employees as NAVCENT has in the past, please explain how the Government will determine that any awardee is fully compliant with Bahraini law as required by the solicitation. In addition, please confirm that part of the Government’s evaluation criteria will be to fully evaluate compliance with local law as part of its FAR Part 9 responsibility determination.

Response: NAVCENT stopped sponsoring Expat employees in 2011 and numerous contracts have been awarded since that time. Some information regarding potential avenues offerors can follow regarding working in Bahrain are provided as an attachment to this amendment. The Contracting Officer is well aware of the requirement regarding responsibility. The evaluation criteria for this procurement remains unchanged.

38. Question: ELIN A012AK requires a 12 month price for BSVE Repair. Unlike the supporting notes for ELIN A012AH for Preventive Maintenance Inspections there is no supporting documentation within the solicitation to enable pricing for this ELIN. Is the pricing purely based upon expected labor costs? If not please explain?

Response: No additional detailed information is available. Offerors need to use their business acumen and expertise gained while providing similar services for facilities and equipment at other locations.

39. Question: Based on amendment 13 Q&A 43 we request more clarification. Have any of the items in Attachment 1700000-09 exceeded their maximum repair allowance?

Response: No historical information is available. Offerors will need to use their expertise and experience gained while providing similar services for vehicles and equipment of comparable use and age.

40. Question: ELIN A012AC requires pricing of Scheduled Bus Services LSA - NSA. There is no supporting evidence as to the capacity of bus required. Is this a 60 Passenger bus service requirement?

Response: ELIN A012AC is in reference to a 26 pax bus.

41. Question: Based on amendment 13 Q&A 43 we request more clairification. What is the in commission rate of the R-14 Hydrants, R-11 Fuel Trucks, and the 1654 Navistar?

Response: No additional detailed information is available.

42. Question: How any fuel meters are there?

Response: There are no fuel meters.

43. Question: In Annex 1700000 specification item 3.1.4 has been deleted. However, the Pricing ELIN schedule Attachment J-0200000-04 (sub ELIN A012AF, Fuel Delivery All Sites) has not been updated.

Based on Spec item 3.1.4 of Annex 1700000 being deleted, will Attachment J-0200000-04 be updated to reflect this deleted specification? If the response to this question is no, what scope of work/specification is to be included in Sub ELIN A012AF, Fuel Delivery Service All Sites?

Response: See revised ELINs attached.
