RESPONSES DEFERRED FROM NOTICE NO. 2

20. Note 1 accompanying the price proposal Schedule SF1442 MEC/MPPEH Bases of Pricing

COMMENT:

Note 1 states that the Base Item CLIN 0001 thru CLIN 0003 and Option Item CLIN 0004 shall be based upon Low & High Likelihood areas of encountering MEC/MPPEH as designated in Figure 3.1 of the Tinian ESS Annex A-01 which accompanied the solicitation. Aside from the low likelihood areas designated for P-9030 APSI Cargo Pad with Taxiway Extension and P-9040 Maintenance Support Facility the remaining P-9010 and P-9021 area are not a feature of Figure

3.1 of the Tinian ESS Annex A-01.

QUESTIONS:

1. Please denote whether the areas associated with P-9010 and P-9021 fall within a Low & High Likelihood areas of encountering MEC/MPPEH.

2. In the event that Figure 3.1 of the Tinian ESS Annex A-01 were to indicate that P-9010, P- 9021, P-9030 & P-9040 or part thereof overlaid a high probability area would the cost associated with full MEC/MPPEH compliance be measured under CLIN’s 0005, 0006 and 0007 or the Base & Option Items.

3. Are CLIN’s 0005, 0006 and 0007 reserved only for MEC/MPPEH encounters in areas previously denoted as unlikely?

ANSWER:

Q1: Response is deferred.

Q2: The Base Items Q3: Yes, it is for areas previously identified as Low Likelihood

23. Planned Modification CLINs 0005AA, 0006AA, & 0007AA - UNIT RATE FOR

MEC/MPPEH

COMMENT:

Each of the CLIN’s referenced above provide a daily unit of measure for full MEC/MPPEH clearance ahead of construction down to a TOI of 20mm in areas previously identified as unlikely. In each case the Governments stated quantity is 60 days. Furthermore, note 3 to Form SF1442 provides direction that the actual quantity will be based on the production rate proposed in the Management Plan Factor Document 00202. It is not clear from the description which takes precedence, the governments stated quantity or the detailed production rate provided in Document 00202.

QUESTION:

Are we to assume that with each Planned Modification full clearance is to be accomplished within the stated 60-day period. This would automatically drive the production rate for each of the differing site conditions? Alternatively, is the 60 days merely a nominal period and that the production rate is to be modelled on the overriding need to match the construction schedule for each activity

ANSWER: Please refer to Note 3 on SF1442. The unit price is for the daily production rate that must be consistent with the production rate proposed in Document 00202 Management Plan Factor. The 60 day quantity is to arrive at a total price when multiplied by the unit price. As noted in Note 3, the “actual quantity for CLINs 0005AA, 0006AA, and 0007AA will be based on the production rate proposed in Document 00202 Management Plan Factor.”

31. P-9021: Offsite Roadways Bid Form – CLIN 0007AA Planned Modification

(MEC/MPPEH)

Please confirm if the MEC/MPPEH areas of concern of low likelihood apply only to locations of disturbed areas for new gravel roadway (Drawing Sheets CS122 thru CS124) and portion of new asphalt paved roadway at Area R3-1 (Drawing Sheet CS101).

ANSWER: Bid project per RFP to include Section 01 57 19.03

37. Factor 4, Management Plan, states the following:

“Identify methodology/technology to be utilized, number of MEC munitions response teams/number of personnel on each team, identification of risks, logistics and resource management approach. Include a minimum production rate utilizing number of excavations in pursuit of anomalies per day that is the basis for Unit Cost per Calendar Day on the Price Proposal Schedule. Minimum production rates utilizing something other than number of excavations in pursuit of anomalies per day will be rated Unacceptable.”

We highly recommend that the Navy re-consider the production rate language as screening for 20mm rounds (which required is ¾ inch screen) is much easier to accomplish through soil screening versus trying to “dig” on each individual suspect target. Suggest that the Navy consider approaches such as soil screening and corresponding production measures such as cubic yard per day.

ANSWER: Bid per RFP.

51. P-9010 – Civil Plans Landscape Hydroseed Limits Because the Site Grading (CG) plans do not show the limits of site improvements as shown in the Civil Site (CS) plan sheets (i.e., gravel road, asphalt, sidewalk limits, etc.), it is very difficult to define the hydroseed areas. In order for all Offerors to be bidding to the same parameters, we request that dedicated landscape plans be provided.

ANSWER: Hydroseed is required to repair any disturbed area in order to comply with the SWPP erosion control requirements. The disturbed areas wil be dependent on how material is staged, methods of construction, etc.

66. For Project P-9010, Drawing B1/SP501 shows a protection board and waterproofing membrane under all fill materials on the tank concrete wall surfaces. Please provide the specification section in which the protection board and waterproofing materials are specified

ANSWER: The waterproofing material and protection board is addressed in Specification Section 07 12 00 Built Up Bituminous Waterproofing, Paragraph 2.2specifies the asphalt (waterproofing) material and Paragraph 2.7 covers the protection board.

67. For Project P-9010, Part D, Specification Section 33 52 43.11, Paragraph 2.10, requires Scully modules to connect to PCP (dwg EI702, EI703), but Drawing EP111, Item 083 and EI801 indicate Scully Level Control Panel and Instrument schedule have float switches. Additional relay contacts for pump interlocks based on Specification section 33 09 53, Paragraph 3.3, Control System Sequence of Operation are required for hardwiring to each pump individual pump circuit. Due to this conflict, please identify which requirement to follow.

ANSWER: Paragraph 2.10 B incorrectly calls for them to be wired to the pump control panel. This should read the Level Control Panel. The specification will be revised in a future amendment. The instrument list (EI702, EI703) will be revised in a future amendment to show thermistor instead of float. The Scully panel contains two output contacts.

69. For Project P-9010, can the contractor assume that all time delay relays and control relays shown in Control Circuit Schematic drawings EI651-EI652 for Pump Control are to be located inside SPCP and HPCP and not in the Motor Control Center?

ANSWER: The intent is for them to be in the Motor Control Center. The specification will be revised in a future amendment.

72. Proprietary products. Please identify which items are required from a proprietary manufacturer or specific model on this project. If there are any, please provide the Justification and Approval documentation for this and identify three viable manufacturers for each of the identified proprietary items for the contractors to contact to receive competitive quotations.

ANSWER: There are no proprietary products.

73. The P-9010 project includes pricing for the ASTM A358 stainless steel pipe for the hydrant fuel loop. Given the 240-day evaluation period prior to award, the length of time between award, followed by approval of submittals prior to release of the stainless steel for fabrication, and the huge volatility of stainless-steel prices, we find a potential risk of approximately $250,000 to $500,000 for the stainless-steel pipe material in Section 33 52 43.13 - Aviation Fuel Piping. To allow for more accurate price proposals without contingencies on the contractors, would the Government consider including an economic price adjustment clause such as FAR 52.216-2 Economic Price Adjustment-Standard Supplies, or a separate pricing CLIN that would allow for an adjustment in price if the market shifted more than 15% +/-?

ANSWER: FAR 52.216-2 will not be included, please bid per the RFP.

76. For Project P-9010, Drawing SP110 Vault Cover Schedule shows the required dimensions and sizes for the rolling pit covers. The “L” and “S” dimensions shown for the rolling pit covers are wider than the width of standard shipping containers or flat racks and cannot be shipped to Tinian. Would the contractors and/or manufacturers of the rolling pit covers be able to design the pit covers and frames in half sections such that the halves can be bolted together during installation in the field? Having the half sections will allow the rolling pit covers to fit into standard shipping containers and flat racks for transport to Tinian.

ANSWER: Bid per RFP.

77. For Project P-9010, Part D, Specification Section 33 52 43.13, Paragraph 2.1.1(c), calls for seamless schedule 160 carbon steel piping for sizes 2-inch and smaller. Paragraph 2.1.5.2(b) calls out 3,000-lb carbon steel forged socket weld fittings for sizes 2-inch and smaller. Please clarify whether 6,000-lb forged socket weld fittings are required for sizes 2-inch and smaller in order to match the schedule 160 carbon steel piping.

ANSWER: No, the use of 3,000-lb carbon steel forged socket weld fittings for sizes 2-inch and smaller is required as specified.

83. All projects. Please confirm that the available water source for hydrostatic testing of the tanks and pipeline flushing will not pose a risk for microbial-induced corrosion.

ANSWER: The available water source is a hydrant potable water. The contractor is responsible to coordinate with Common Utilities Corporation (CUC) for obtaining the water from the hydrant.
