RESPONSE

1 58 L.5 TAB K 1. With reference to the Secret Facility

Clearance, we kindly request clarification on whether possession of such SFC is actually required in order to participate in the procedure, and whether proof of it must be provided at this stage of the offer. Considering that the process to obtain the SFC is complex, we ask for confirmation that a company not currently in possession of the SFC may still participate in the procedure, committing to obtain it following the potential award, for example through direct sponsorship by NAVFAC ATLANTIC.

2. In the event that the Secret Facility Clearance

(SFC) is required only for access to certain buildings involved in the activities covered by this procedure, we request confirmation that, in the case of participation in a Joint Venture (JV) --where only one of the member companies holds the SFC -- it is still possible to participate, with the commitment from the JV, in the event of award, to ensure that the activities within said

Please reference the changes to Section L included in

Amendment 0002.

buildings will be carried out exclusively by the entity holding the SFC.

3. We request confirmation that the Secret

Facility Clearance is equivalent to the Industrial

Security Clearance (NOSI) at the SECRET or

TOP SECRET level, and therefore a company holding the NOSI may participate in the procedure.

4. In case of participation as a Joint Venture, we request confirmation that it is sufficient for only one of the member companies to hold the Secret

Facility Clearance (or NOSI, in the event of an affirmative answer to the question referred to in the previous point 2).

5. We kindly request clarification regarding the method of submission of the Secret Facility

Clearance, considering that it is stated that it must be transmitted via a non-rewritable CD.

Does this mean that the document should not be uploaded to the portal, but instead sent by mail on a CD? If so, to which address should it be sent?

2 54 L.1 L.1 1. With reference to the procedures for uploading the offer through the PIEE portal, since there is only one upload field available within the 'Offer' section, we request confirmation that a single
