1. Radiation Safety: Per NAVSEA S0420-AA-RAD-010 “RADIOLOGICAL AFFAIRS SUPPORT PROGRAM MANUAL”, the system shall provide sufficient radiation (X-ray) shielding so that measured radiation is less than 0.5 mrem/hour (5.0 Sv/hr) at 5 cm from all external surfaces. The system will be checked by the local Radiation Safety Officer, and the system will not be accepted by the Gov’t if levels exceed specified values. System shall include at least 1 visual indicator to identify if the electron beam is on or off (e.g. a light or software icon).

1. Optional: Gov’t requests trade-in consideration on existing SEM/EDS system. System is a Zeiss EVO 50 EP (extended pressure) SEM equipped with an EDAX EDS system and TSL electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) system. Vendor shall state if trade-in will be accepted and shall show trade-in amount on quote. The following conditions shall be accepted by the vendor:

18. SEM/EDS/EBSD systems are in full working condition. Gov’t will demonstrate functionality to vendor representative upon request.

18. SEM computer and EDS/EBSD computer will have hard drives removed due to security restrictions for the data. This will render SEM/EDS/EBSD inoperable.

18. Vendor shall disassemble SEM/EDS/EBSD system. System will be available for disassembly up to 5 business days prior to delivery of new system. Disassembly shall be completed prior to installation of new system. Gov’t will provide equipment movers to move SEM console outside of building, and to Gov’t shipping office if needed for freight pickup. Gov’t will dispose of vacuum pump oil, coolant and any other hazardous materials.

18. Vendor shall arrange for removal / shipping of system and all components within 30 days of final acceptance of new system.

1. NOTE: Personnel shall be US citizens, or shall bring a valid foreign passport, in order to gain access to China Lake Naval Weapons Center. This includes disassembly/installation/training personnel and freight drivers. It is recommended to inform all delivery companies of this policy, as drivers will be refused entry, preventing delivery of system until correct arrangements are made. Gov’t shall not be charged additional shipping costs incurred if a driver is refused access.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

DESIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

If the offeror is unable to meet the desired delivery schedule, it may, without prejudicing evaluation of its offer, propose a delivery schedule below. However, the offeror's proposed delivery schedule must not extend beyond the time for delivery in the Government's required delivery schedule as follows:

REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

Offers that propose delivery of a quantity under such terms or conditions that delivery will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the desired delivery schedule above will apply.

OFFEROR'S PROPOSED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

*Propose delivery date/schedule here

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day the award is dated. Therefore, the offeror shall compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor’s date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term “working day” excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.
