SUMMARY OF CHANGES
SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE
The following have been added by full text:
Q32
A31
The various host nation and/or ports around in the CENTCOM region are open to do business with Iran which KTRs do not have any control. It may be possible that the port employs a sub-contractor as a concessionaire at the Port when providing port services as per the port tariff. KTRs will have no knowledge of such a concessionaire at the Port as the port is not obliged to declare its sub-contractors to the KTRs. Also it is compulsory for KTRs to use the services provided by the port and as per the port dictates. KTRs can hence not be held accountable for any such sub- contractor who is appointed by the port and has relations with Iran.
The government will not address hypothetical situations as posed. For reference, however, please refer to FAR 52.212- 3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 2017) ALTERNATE I (OCT 2014). All vendors awarded a contract under this solicitation are required to adhere to the requirements of FAR 52.212-3. Interpretations of the impact of 52.212-3 upon vendors/awardees are left to the vendor/awardee and their respective attorneys; the government will not provide legal advice to vendors/awardees on the legal ramifications of 52.213-3 on vendors/awardees.
Q33
A33
DFAR 252.216-7008, with regards to that Economic Price Adjustment for Wage Rates or Material Prices Controlled by a Foreign Government is applicable to solicitations for fixed-price supply and service contracts. Pease confirm that EPA will also be applicable when the local government or municipalities of the CENTOM AOR change their rates, which is not directly but indirectly affecting the prices of the Supplier. Eg. When the supplier rate is inclusive of fuel and the fuel cost is escalated, the contract should permit an adjustment of price of the fuel dependent price. Also in case of CHT/Trash/Waste Oil, the disposal cost is decided by the government or local municipality. A change in their disposal fee, which will come under the will also effect the over cost of the service and hence the EPA clause should be applicable.
The contractor can submit a request for equitable adjustment at any time for any services provided. Each request will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
Q34
A34
Force Protection equipment is always positioned under the directive of the US Navy representative/FP Officer. HSP is not responsible for the damages caused to its own or third party equipment or any injury caused as a result of incorrect placement of equipment.
As facts will differ on each occasion, any damages to U.S. government property during the performance of HSP-related requirements will be addressed at the time the government receives notice of the damages, consistent with applicable contract clauses, U.S. law, rule, or regulation.
Q35
A35
When the equipment is positioned under the directive of the US Navy representative HSP should not be responsible for damages to personnel or equipment having acted under the directions of the US Navy representative. This could be for Barges, Fenders, Brow, etc. Also any charges for repositioning the asset which is required to be moved due to incorrect positioning by the US Navy representative will incur an additional expense which will be billed to the Navy.
As facts will differ on each occasion, any damages to U.S. government property during the performance of HSP-related requirements will be addressed at the time the government receives notice of the damages, consistent with applicable contract clauses, U.S. law, rule, or regulation.
Q36
Pre-positioning as understood by MLS will be done a day prior to the ETA of the ship. If the pre- positioning is required earlier than the above mentioned one day, the same has to be specified in the contract. Alternately the HSP should be
A36 permitted to charge an additional day/days as per the requirement.
If additional time is needed for pre-positions, the Government will make every effort to inform offerors prior to submission of RTOPs. Any additional costs associated with this will be addressed on the task order level.
Q37
A37
If the Port charges HSP with additional Port charges after the Task Order for RTOP has been issued and the required Port invoices, will the Navy modify the Task Order to include these additional port charges?
Any costs realized after award of task order can be addressed via 252.243-7002 Request for Equitable Adjustment.
Q38
A38
Shore Power – Amperage KWHR (XX82) - When providing standalone generators the capacity of the generator is dictated by the Amperage required by the ship. In this case, such an information on the amperage is not provided and hence makes it difficult for the HSP to identify the capacity of generator required to be provided. KWHR rate varies depending on the capacity of the generator provided and hence the requirement to specify the amperage associated with the KWHR is very important.
This ELIN is for permanent connections systems vice generators. Please reference the Schedule Notes paragraph (3)(d) in the Request for Proposal Performance Work Statement, GENERAL UTILITY SERVICES, SHORE
POWER (INCLUDES CABLES, CONNECTION, FUEL, AND OPERATORS).

A59
The proposal type is Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable, yet this provision suggests that multiple awards will be made.
Should multiple awards be made for a region, how will the service provider be selected? Through a task order for each operation?

Q63
A63
(XX7B) Potable Water can be supplied by water tanker trucks. Is this sufficient to satisfy this CLIN?
See response above.
Q64
A64
Vehicles are to be quoted in a different way compared to the EUCOM contract. Especially VANs are to be quoted per Day (24 hrs) rather than per Shift (periods of 8 hrs). A price per day, including 24 hr usage, actually does not reflect what Ships normally require (as you know vehicles and drivers are normally requested 16 hrs per day, maximum 18 hrs). Same for the qualified driver, in our opinion it should be quoted per shift rather than per day. Would you consider amending the Pricing Spreadsheets for vehicles for all ports in the area and remake them exactly as they are in the EUCOM contract?
The UNIT column under ELINs XXBK, XXBL, and XXBM will be revised to reflect “SHIFT”.
Q65
A65
In Exhibit A, do we have to submit prices for services for all the ports, or we can omit any, and just write N/A?

Incomplete price proposals may result in a determination of offeror non-compliance to solicitation instructions, and consequent removal of the offeror from the competition. See Section M of the RFP for complete information.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
A. DESCRIPTION OF CONTRACTUAL SCOPE
The services to be provided through performance consist of maritime husbanding support. The holder of this contract is a U.S. Navy contractor, a husbanding service provider (HSP), and is NOT an agent of the U.S. Navy and does not have the authority to bind the U.S. Navy.
Maritime husbanding support is provided by a HSP from a standard list of supplies/services at a contract fixed price.
The HSP shall ensure that ordered supplies and services conform to the general requirements of the contract pursuant to this PWS.
The geographic scope and region covered by this contract includes ALL commercial and military ports located in the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility (AOR).
The countries covered by this contract are:
Country Country Country Country Bahrain Jordan Pakistan United Arab Emirates Egypt Kuwait Qatar Yemen Iraq Oman Saudi Arabia
U.S. Ships (USS), U.S. Naval Ships (USNS), and U.S. Coast Guard Ships (USCG) are authorized to use this contract. Orders will be placed by authorized Ordering Officers per section G-3, subparagraph (3) of the contract.
U.S. Air Force (USAF), U.S. Army (USA), any other activity of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) (i.e. U.S.
Army, NATO ships, or other foreign vessels participating in U.S. Military or NATO exercises), and any other Federal Agency within the United States Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) theater of operation shall require specific authorization from the contracting officer to use this contract. If these activities are authorized, orders for these ships will be placed by authorized Ordering Officers. The contractor will be notified of the addition of an authorized ordering activity by contract modification to section G-3, subparagraph (3), “Authorized Ordering Officers,” which will specifically identify the authorized ordering activity.
B. QUALITY
The HSP shall provide quality goods and services at requested delivery times to ships making port visits, provide continuous oversight of costs and performance throughout the areas covered by this contract, and make meaningful suggestions on strategies and tactics to control costs and improve performance under this contract. The quality of all services or supplies provided shall conform at least to the quality standards in the relevant profession, trade, or field of endeavor where corresponding supplies or services exist, and to the explicit standards contained in the PWS.
This PWS does not specify how the HSP is to perform, but instead provides measurable performance standards, which are established in the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) to monitor contract performance during each ship’s visit. The QASP is detailed in Attachment J-1 “QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN”.
The QASP results will be used to complete the annual Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) required reports. Additional information regarding CPARS can be found in section G-4 “CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (CPARS)” of this contract.
C. STANDARD PROCESS FOR SHIP’S VISIT – DEFINITION OF THE HSP ROLE
The HSP is involved in organizing the ship’s visit from the pre-arrival arrangements to the ship’s departure and after the ship’s departure.
1. PRE-ARRIVAL ARRANGEMENTS
a) ADVANCE LOGISTICS RESPONSE TEAM (ALRT). In the event that an ALRT for a ship arrives in port prior to a ship’s arrival, the HSP will assist the ALRT by providing logistical support and coordinating all requirements. See Logistics Support to Government Teams, ELIN XX6G.
b) FORCE PROTECTION. The exhibit spreadsheets and specific portions of this PWS include force protection services and equipment which the contractor shall bid on a fixed-price basis with their initial offer for the basic contract. RTOPs for individual orders will include an estimated amount of force protection equipment anticipated as necessary for the upcoming ship visit. Contractors shall provide a proposal based on the estimated quantities in the RTOP, using prices no higher than those proposed in the basic contract but may offer discounts or downward pricing from those fixed prices. Award of the task order will be made in accordance with the ordering procedures outlined in Section H of the contract, using the estimated force protection quantities and the proposed amounts. Once a task order has been awarded, the HSP shall reconfirm with the ship that these force protection requirements meet the ship’s requirements prior to beginning performance. Any requests for additional force protection requirements will be coordinated through the Contracting Officer or Ordering Officer via the COMUSNAVCENT Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) prior to providing any additional force protection services in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section H. If any other activity or individual orders force protection services (e.g. NCIS, DAO), not covered in the task order, the HSP is required to immediately inform the ship and Contracting Officer or Ordering Officer of such and must obtain confirmation prior to beginning performance of those services. Organizations such as NCIS and DAO are not Ordering Officers under this contract unless specific authorization has been given by the Contracting Officer. Therefore, they have no contractual authority to place orders. Any services provided in this contract ordered by an entity not described in this contract shall be provided at the HSP’s own risk and shall result in no additional cost to the U.S. Government.
c) The HSP shall coordinate with the ship’s designated Receipt Inspector to sign for all Force Protection
Equipment immediately upon ship’s arrival. For port visits where an Expeditionary Strike Group or a Carrier Strike Group will be coordinating and/or directing force protection requirements, the ship’s Commanding Officer or Supply Officer, in agreement with the Strike Group Commander, may designate in writing, with signed approval by each unit, a Receipt Inspector to receive, inspect, and sign for all force protection requirements delivered by the HSP in advance of the ship’s arrival. The HSP and designated Receipt Inspection shall follow the guidelines specified in paragraph C.2(b)(3) of this section.
d) FUEL AND PROVISION OF SUBSISTENCE AND FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES (FFV). If the ship requires fuel or FFV, the requirement will normally be satisfied by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). In the event Provisions and Fuel are ordered from the HSP the requirements at SUBCONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBERS (SUBCLINS) 0001AF and 0001AG, respectively, apply.
e) LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANING SERVICES. Laundry and dry cleaning services for the ship’s laundry and for individual crewmember usage will be ordered from the vendor directly by the ship or the crewmember. The HSP shall assist the ship, as necessary, to identify and contact vendors available in the area. Payment for services will be made by the ship to the vendor rather than through the HSP Contractor. Crewmembers will settle their own bills. Any potential issues shall be resolved directly between the ship or the crewmember and the local vendor. The assistance is included under the Husbanding Services Fee and the HSP shall not charge additional fees for this service.
f) MORALE, WELFARE AND RECREATION (MWR) SERVICES.
If an MWR contract has been awarded which covers the location of the ship’s visit then the HSP must refer all MWR requests to the authorized MWR contractor. If there is an MWR contract, the MWR contractor is the U.S. Navy’s sole representative for this service. Under no circumstances will the HSP assist crew personnel in booking these services if an MWR representative is servicing the ship. In the absence of an MWR contract, the HSP shall provide advance information on the full scope of all recreational/liberty activities available in local area and assist the ship, as necessary, to identify the vendors. Information (with associated costs) shall include, but is not limited to, visitor tips, transportation, sightseeing tours, entertainment, sporting events, and lodging.
Payment for services will be made by the ship to the vendor rather than through the HSP Contractor.
Any potential issue shall be resolved directly between the ship and the local vendor. This service is included under the Husbanding Services Fee and the HSP shall not charge additional fees for this service.
Under no circumstances will the HSP assist crew personnel in booking these services.
g) HAZARDOUS MATERIAL DISPOSAL (HAZMAT)/SHIPBOARD GENERATED INDUSTRIAL WASTE (SGIW). The HSP shall not dispose/offload any hazardous waste requirements unless prior approval has been provided by the appropriate Navy Environmental Office. Contractor shall ensure that all personnel assigned to handling Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials are properly trained to meet, at a minimum, OSHA standards, 29 CFR 1910.120 HSP and sub-contractors shall assign properly trained Environmental coordinators to ensure proper handling/management of HAZMATs and HW, and to properly report/respond to oil and hazardous substance (OHS) spills. Contractor assigned ENV coordinators must have at least successfully completed the 40-hr Hazardous Waste Management and Emergency response or its equivalent training.
h) PERSONAL REQUESTS. The U.S. Government will not pay the HSP for any personal requests from individual crewmembers, whether military or civilian, or contractor personnel supporting the ship.
i) MONEY EXCHANGE SERVICES. Money exchange services shall be handled separately between the ship or the crewmember and the local authorized money changers. The HSP shall assist the ship, as necessary, to identify and contact authorized money exchangers available in the area. Any potential issue shall be resolved directly between the ship or the crewmember and the local vendor. This service is included under the Husbanding Services Fee and the HSP shall not charge additional fees for this service.
j) BERTHING. The HSP shall coordinate with the appropriate port authority to arrange for a pierside or anchorage berthing location. To the extent possible, the berthing location will be consistent with the description included in the RTOP for the port visit, if provided, or with other information provided to the HSP by the Contracting Officer. The HSP shall install all ordered equipment as required in the Task Order. Examples are brows, platforms, shore power cables, mooring lines, fenders, curb caps, and steps.
k) ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS (CENTCOM-specific). The HSP shall exercise due diligence to prevent, contain, and respond to spills of hazardous material, hazardous substances, hazardous waste, sewage, regulated gas, petroleum, lubrication oil, and other substances regulated by environmental law. The HSP shall maintain spill cleanup equipment and materials at the work site. In the event of a spill, the HSP shall take prompt, effective action to stop, contain, curtail, or otherwise limit the amount, duration, and severity of the spill/release, and shall contain and clean up these spills without cost to the Government.
In the event of any releases of oil, hazardous substances, Bilge water, CHT, chemicals, or gases due to contractor's activity; immediately (within 15 minutes) notify the Contracting Officer’s Representative and, if performance is in Mina Salman, the Base emergency dispatch (1785-4911). The Contractor is responsible for verbal and written notifications as required by Navy Instructions. Spill response will be in accordance with FGS and local regulations.
If Government assistance is requested or required, the Contractor will reimburse the Government for such assistance. The Contractor shall reimburse the government for all costs incurred including sample analysis materials, equipment, labor and spill waste disposal if the government must initiate its own spill cleanup procedures, for Contractor responsible spills, when:
a. The Contractor has not begun spill cleanup procedure within one hour of spill discovery/occurrence, or
b. If, in the government's judgment, the Contractor's spill cleanup is not adequately abating life threatening situation and/or is a threat to any body of water or environmentally sensitive areas.
All equipment which contains liquid and/or liquid containers on the pier must be placed on secondary containment and such containment system shall be free of any free liquid/residue and debris. Any leaking equipment shall be removed from the pier until the unit is fixed. All drips, drops and spills will be cleaned immediately when detected and reported

ELINs XX01 – XX0Q: HUSBANDING FEES (ANCHORAGE AND PIERSIDE)
1. The HSP shall provide husbanding services to ships visiting the ports in CENTCOM covered by this contract.
The husbanding fee requires the HSP to perform all services and provide all supplies necessary to fully comply with the tasks and responsibilities described in this contract unless a task or responsibility is specifically included in a separately-priced ELIN herein. The HSP’s responsibilities under the Husbanding Fees ELINs start prior to the arrival of the ship and continue after the ship’s departure.
2. The husbanding fee is based on the First Day and Subsequent Day(s) of the ship visit. Husbanding fees for all ship classes (i.e. Classes IA through V) shall be billed under the appropriate ELINs. Attachment J-2 titled, “Ship Classes”, includes a list of ships by ship class. Attachment J-3 titled, “Port Visits – Historical Data”, includes historical data by port and ship classes. A husbanding fee may be provided to the HSP for services rendered prior to the ship’s visit only in the case of assistance to the ship’s Advance Logistics Response Team as specified in the individual task order. The husbanding fee shall be established in the amount for all ships within the established ship class identified. The U.S. Government reserves the right to include additional ship classes as necessary depending on production, ship reclassifications, and crew restructuring.
3. Frequent ship visits between ports: If a ship frequently visits a port (i.e. leaves a port and returns to it prior to the fourth calendar day), subsequent visits to that port will be considered as an extension of the first visit and handled by the same HSP when appropriately identified as such in the task order competition. A modification to the existing task order will be issued. Each time a ship departs or enters port, the port visit will be reported as a separate port visit and separate invoices will be submitted in iRAPT (formerly WAWF).
4. Homeported Ships (XX0F). For purposes of this contract, “homeported ships” are ships permanently based in a given port. If a ship homeported in one of the ports listed in the contract requires husbanding services in the homeport, the HSP shall charge the Homeported Ships husbanding fee (ELIN XX0F) each day the ship is in port. This ELIN currently only applies to PCs, MCMs, and Riverine Boats (See Attachment J-2).

ELINs XX0R – XX15: TRASH REMOVAL
1. Trash removal service is the collection and disposal of refuse (i.e. trash) including liquid, semi-liquid, or solid garbage. Trash consists mainly of trash from food service operations such as food waste, paper and plastic packaging, and domestic wastes generated in the accommodation spaces as a result of the ordinary day-by-day activities onboard the ship. Trash does not include hazardous material, bilge water, and greywater, explosives and incendiary waste, or waste contaminated by medical and radiological processes. Metal and/or wood scrap and plastic “pucks” would be considered as part of ELIN XX0V OTHER TRASH REMOVAL. The contractor shall make reasonable efforts to follow any applicable Qualified Recycling Program if available.
2. The HSP shall remove and dispose of refuse from the ship and areas surrounding trash bins, as well as any spilled refuse. The HSP shall determine the frequency and method for the removal and disposal of trash, taking into consideration the ship’s ability to hold trash aboard, in order to provide sufficient trash removal frequency and capacity so that the ship’s operations are not negatively impacted.
3. TRASH REMOVAL - PIERSIDE (XX0R). The HSP shall place containers or trucks within twenty-five (25) meters of the ship or as permitted by port regulations, or place barges alongside the ship (see barge requirements at paragraph 4 below). The HSP shall empty the containers or barges when full and shall assure their continuous availability for trash disposal.
4. TRASH REMOVAL - ANCHORAGE (XX0S). The HSP shall provide trash barges/scows with tug service (if barge is not self-propelled). The barges shall be completely empty at time of arrival at the ship. In situations where an empty barge is not available, the HSP shall provide a system to measure the volume of trash deposited in the barge by the U.S. Government’s ship or otherwise ensure that the ship is charged only for its “pro rata” share of the trash based on the unit of issue identified in the contract. The HSP shall have ready access to sufficient barges and equipment to support multiple ships at anchorage simultaneously. All trash barges/scows shall be available 24 hours a day (where not contrary to law or port regulation) and shall be provided with suitable self-fendering to prevent damage to U.S. Government vessels. If sea state, weather, or other conditions to include but not limited to the configuration of the vessel, the pier, or the barge, require any additional fendering between the barge (or other vessel provided in lieu of a barge) and the ordering vessel to supplement the barge’s self-fendering system so as to prevent damage to the vessel, the additional fendering shall be provided by the HSP at no additional charge. The barge’s crew shall be entirely responsible for the tending of lines and for the barge’s security. The movement of trash from the ship to the barge shall be performed with care by the ship’s crew. In instances of bad weather or emergency which requires the ship to depart prior to the end of the scheduled port visit, the HSP shall remove barges within four (4) hours of being directed to do so by the ship’s Supply Officer at no additional cost to the U.S. Government.
5. TRASH REMOVAL - PORT PROVIDED (XX0T) shall be used when trash removal is provided by the port.
The HSP shall provide a proposal for these services in response to the RTOP.
