Since, in accordance with Italian regulations, a notarized ATI is

The Government has considered your question. The solicitation will remain unchanged.

in all respects a form of JV which

(i) fully complies with all requirements set forth in the Submission requirements section and (ii) has usually been accepted by the US Government in all previous similar solicitations, we request you to confirm that paragraph 2 shall be interpreted as excluding from the procurement only those ATI that have not been formally established and notarized as of the date of the proposal submission.

Should the above not be the correct interpretation, we kindly ask for additional clarifications as to why an established Associazione Temporanea di Imprese would not be an admissible form of JV.

To such respect, we would like to highlight that if we were to establish a NewCo under Italian law for the submission of the offer and performance of the work, the

NewCo would not possess the certifications required for the submission of the proposal, as they would remain with the shareholders of the NewCo. Such problem would not exist in the case of an ATI.

The health and Safety plan at section 6.1.2 states that a geophysical survey is required for the areas subject to pavement replacement and excavation for new drainage piping and the results of the survey will determine the need for UXO survey.

Based on experience working in the area and on the same type of pavement, we anticipate encountering welded wire mesh reinforcement in the concrete pavement. this is not liklely going to allow reliable results form a georadar survey for the identification of buried metallic bodies. We request clarification on which type of geophysical survey should be executed in order to obtain reliable results to determine the need for an UXO survey. Please clarify what are the results that will trigger the need for a complete UXO survey. In particular, if the geophysical survey shall be executed by the UXO specialized company already and the required authorizations from 10th reparto are to be obtained for the geophysical survey.

1. Is stockpiling going to be possible directly on the concrete pavement in the construciotn area with a plastic sheet underneath and a plastic sheet to cover it?

Assuming maximum height of 1.5 meters in the airfield area this would required 2000 sqm of storage space (40x50m).

If storage in the construciotn area will not be possible, how far is the storage location going to be? We need to be able to acccount for loading and transportaiton to the local storage area if this will be outside the construction area.

Before off site disposal temporary stockpiling will
