The Note states that the Contractor shall turn over PCB Contamination Areas for up to 6 months, however, at the site walk it was stated that the KSC Headquarters Building (M6-
0399) was not going to be released to the Contractor until August 31, 2017, and the required
Contract Completion date was stated to be March 30, 2018. This is only a 7 month period and does not leave any time to perform work required at the KSC Headquarters Buidling.

DARCY Operations
The Government bid item for CLIN 0003, SUBCLIN 0003A contemplates 16 weeks of
DARCY Operations Services. It appears that these 16 weeks contemplated by the
Government appear to be consecutive 16 week period, however, as stated at the site visit there is a long peroid of time between release of the CIF buildings and the Headquarters
Building, not to mention the required up to 6 month period for PCB remediation at the
Headquarters Building. Therefore the DARCY Operations Services might have to be broken up into several discreet operations periods, with mobilization and demobilization built in to accomodate Government project timing. Will the Government consider revising the CLIN
0003, SUBCLIN 0003A to accomodate the Governments scheduling requirements?
