NOTES TO OFFERORS

1. Offerors shall complete Section B for all line items. Offerors shall fill in the Contract Line Items (CLINs) in Section B by stating the unit price for each item by quantity.

2. For any items proposed at a unit price of $5,000.00 each (or higher), DFAR Clause 252.211-7003 UNIQUE ITEM IDENTIFIER (UID) shall apply (See RFP Section I) This clause also requires that UID information must be submitted in WAWF and that a UID tag must be affixed to the item prior to shipping. THERE

ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THE UID REQUIREMENT. OFFERS THAT DO NOT COMPLY WILL

BE CONSIDERED UNACCEPTABLE AND UNAWARDABLE.

3. A Deadline for Industry Submission of Questions is hereby established. The deadline for RFQ questions submission is 10/11/16 – 2:00 PM EST. After this date and time, the Government may not respond to questions received.

4. Offerors are required to submit detailed product information for all items proposed in order for the Government to confirm that items proposed meet the requirement/specification (attachment 1). See provision 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items and attachment 2- FAR 52.212-5 Addendum for submital requirements and evaluation criteria.

5. Offers, including complete/signed solicitation, are to be submitted via email to alison.c.wicks@navy.mil no later than the time and date specified on the cover page of this solicitation.

The purpose of Amendment 01 to the solicitation is to answer the following questions from industry:

Question 1: Is it possible for NUWC to extend the bid submission deadline by one (1) week?

mailto:alison.c.wicks@navy.mil mailto:alison.c.wicks@navy.mil

Response 1: The due date is extended to 2:00 PM EST on Tuesday, October 25, 2016.

Question 2: Attachment 1, 3.0: Is there a preferred fiber count, or do you want us to provide a quote for the maximum number of fibers possible in our COTS product?

Response 2: The minimum requirement is 12.

Question 3: Attachment 1, 3.0: Can you confirm in the last sentence of the paragraph that the intent is that “SPA/LWP type cable” is used interchangeably?

Response 3: For this specification the term SPA/LWP cable is defined as un-armored LW cable with and additional steel tape surrounded by HDPE. Its purpose is for additional abrasion resistance beyond a LW cable. If a firm makes both then they can choose which one to supply based upon the minimum/maximum characteristics.

Question 4: Attachment 1, General Question: Some of the requirements are not consistent with our COTS products.

How do you wish us to respond to requirements that are inconsistent with a COTS product?

Response 4: Offerors must propose items that meet the specifications listed in Attachment 1.

Question 5: Attachment 1, 3.5: Is a splice box considered an acceptable transition?

Response 5: No, an armor transition must resemble the appearance of the cable and have various armor wires length during the transition. Any splice boxes or splices must be qualified by the Universal Joint Consortium (UJC) for universal jointing (UJ)

Question 6: Attachment 1, 5.1: Can you confirm the drum flange diameter requirement is 5.5 inches?

Response 6: Replace “The drum flange diameter shall be 5 ½ inches.” With “The outside flange diameter shall be less than 125 inches. The overall width shall be equal to or less than 96 inches. The bore diameter (for using standard spooling machinery with a 5 inch shaft) shall be 5 1/8 inches.

Question 7: Attachment 2, 3.3: Past Performance references “paragraph 3.2.2”; assume this reference should be to paragraph 3.3.2? If not, can you provide the missing paragraph?

Response 7: That is correct it should read “3.3Past Performance (not to exceed 6 pages, but see paragraph 3.3.2)”.

Question 8: Solicitation Document, CLINs: Can you confirm that the only difference between CLIN 0002 and CLIN 0014 is the delivery After Date of Contract (9 mos ADC vs 6 mos ADC)? Same for CLIN 0012 and CLIN 0015?

Response 8: CLIN 0002 is for storage of the cable. The CLIN 0002 period of performance would be from delivery of the cable to 6 months thereafter. CLIN 0014 is an option CLIN. If additional storage time is needed the Government would potentially exercise CLIN 0014 for an additional 6 month period of performance. CLIN 0012 is an option CLIN for storage of CLIN 0011 (Cable B), if CLIN 0011 is exercised. The CLIN 0012 period of performance would be from delivery of the CLIN 0011 cable to 6 months thereafter. CLIN 0014 is an option CLIN.

If additional storage time is needed the Government would potentially exercise CLIN 0015 for an additional 6 month period of performance.

As a result of the above questions and answers, Attachments 1 and 2 have been updated.

The closing date is extended to 2:00PM EST on Tuesday, October 25, as a result of amendment 01.

The purpose of Amendment 02 to the solicitation is to answer the following questions from industry (Questions 1-8 answered via Amendment 01):

Question 9: Would spares delivery via another method be considered, such as container, or tanked with the system cable (and broken out for separate storage at the destination)?

Response 9: The Contractor is responsible for determining how the cable is delivered to the location. However, once there it must be packaged (broken out for separate storage at the destination) such that the Government can move it with a forklift/crane/truck without needing to hire a crew of cable handlers or needing special permits to travel trucks across the road.

Question 10: For CLINs 0011,0012,0013, and 0015 related to Cable B, would you please confirm if these options would be purchased in addition to those CLINs related to Cable A, or in lieu of those CLINs related to Cable A ?

Response 10: These CLINs would be in addition to Cable A CLINs.

Question 11: For CLIN Item 0010, is the reference to “End Specific Kit Universal Joint “intended to be the same as “Universal Joint”? If not, would you please clarify "End Specific Kit Universal Joint".

Response 11: Yes, but it will be to cap an end of a cable vice connecting to cable together.

Question 12: In Figure A-2 in the Technical Specification, the total length for cable B is shown as 122,616 km, the sum of the cable sub-distances is 122,614. Please clarify the exact cable length.

Response 12: The total length of cable shall be 122,616 km. The difference between the sum of the sub-distances to the total is due to an unknown software issue. To make up the difference the last LWA segment shall be 1,002 meters.

Question 13: Delivery date for CLIN 0011 (Cable B) is 7 months ADC, is there a reason why it is not 9 months as for CLIN 0001 (Cable A)?

Response 13: Yes, it was anticipated that a shorter delivery of cable B could possibly be better timed to have on installation of cables A and B vice separate.

Question 14: For planning purpose, please clarify what is the most likely date for contract award?

Response 14: The goal is early to mid-November but no later than November 30.

Question 15: Do CLINs 0001 and 0011 include both the loading of the cable at the factory and the unloading of the cable at the storage location?

Response 15: Yes, CLINs 0001 and 0011 include both the loading of the cable at the factory and the unloading of the cable at the storage location. Removal from the storage facility to a deployment ship will be a separate contract.

Question 16: Do CLINs 0002 and 0012 include both the unloading of the cable from the freighter and the loading of the cable onto the installation vessel?

Response 16: CLINs 0002 and 0012 include only unloading from a freighter. Removal from the storage facility to a deployment ship will be a separate contract.

Question 17: Do CLINS 0014 and 0015 represent storage during months 7 – 12? Would CLINs 0002 and 0012 (months 1 – 6) be exercised before CLINs 0014 and 0015 (months 7-12)?

Response 17: CLIN 0002 will be awarded at time of purchase order award for a period of 6 months from delivery of CLIN 0001. If additional time is needed for storage of CLIN 0001, then CLIN 0014 may be exercised for an additional 6 month timeframe. CLIN 0012, if exercised, would be for 6 months from delivery of CLIN 0011, if exercised. If additional time is needed for storage of CLIN 0011, then CLIN 0015 may be exercised for an additional 6 month timeframe.

Question 18: Are there any base vehicle restrictions (e.g. vehicle width, weight…) for the CLINs to be delivered to

St. Juliens Creek?

Response 18: The width must be less than 96 inches or the standard width of a truck. Thus, the reason for the reel width to be 96 inches. A wide load is not desired. Concerning deliveries to St. Juliens Creek Annex: Drivers that don't possess CAC or Rapid Gate cards will need to get a one day pass. Driver will need to obtain a one day pass from the Norfolk Naval Shipyard Pass and ID office. The Truck parking and Inspection Station is located at 880 Portsmouth Blvd Portsmouth VA 23705. Delivery Hours are between 0800-1530.

Question 19: Will the Navy provide the necessary equipment at St. Juliens Creek to offload the material to be delivered there?

Response 19: Yes.

Question 20: Can the spare cable, CLINS 0003, 0004, and 0005, be provided in container (s) instead of steel reels?

Response 20: Reels are preferred. An alternative would be standard 20x8x8 (length x width x height in inches) ISO container. If a 20 foot long container is not feasible for coiling than a 40 long cable can be used.

Question 21: Regarding Notes To Offerors, paragraph 2, are UID labels required for CLINs 0001 & 0011? If so, where on the cables would NUWC prefer the labels be affixed?

Response 21: UID labels are required. The labels can be placed within 10 meters of cable A and cable B ends.

Thus, 4 labels with one on each end.

Question 22: Regarding Notes To Offerors, paragraph 2, are UID labels for CLINs 0003, 0004 & 0005 required on the reels and the cables or just cables? Does NUWC prefer that both ends of the spare cables be labeled?

Response 22: UID labels are required. The labels may be placed on the reels.

Question 23: In Section F, page 13 of the RFQ, the CLIN delivery dates are listed as a number of months “ADC.”

Can the government please define ADC?

Response 23: "ADC" stands for after date of contract award. CLIN 0001 is required to be delivered 9 months after contract award. Then CLIN 0002 would be for a period of 6 months, starting once CLIN 0001 is delivered. CLINS 0003,0004,0005, 0007, 0008, 0009, 0010 are required to be delivered 9 months after contract award. CLINs 0011 and 0013 are required to be delivered 7 months after option exercise. CLIN 0012 would be for a period of 6 months, starting once CLIN 0011 is delivered.

Question 24: We assume that the cover/title page and a Table of Contents is not included in the 6 page limit for the Technical Capability Volume. Is that correct?

Response 24: That is correct. The cover/title page and table of contents is not included in the 6 page limit.

As a result of the above questions and answers, Attachment 1 has been updated.

The closing date is not extended as a result of this amendment. The closing date and time remains 2:00PM EST on Tuesday, October 25.
