1. We would need to see the details for all routes and transportation requirements so we could submit a complete and fair proposal. – We will post the maps with the solicitation.

2. Is the 0500-1700 schedule continuous or are there shifts for morning and evening? 12 hours exceeds allowed DOT drive time and would need to be broken into 2 shifts for each van, greatly increasing cost per vehicle, per day. – How the shifts are set would be left up to the discretion of the contractor with the understanding that the hours of 0500 to 1700 would be covered.

3. Will a parking area be provided for the shuttles to be kept on base? Yes – there is an area in Parking lot 1 behind Bldgs 51 & 74 which can be used for parking.

4. Request more detailed holiday/shutdown dates. Specifically major periods of shutdown around Christmas/New Years etc. Please see the below listing of Federal Holidays. NNSY no longer observes the Curtailment period between Christmas and New Years, however, I would expect the shuttle not to operate on Friday, December 26, 2025 and Friday, January 2, 2026.

5. If we use a transportation company that has DBIDS for another base, will they need another DBIDS for the Portsmouth base? Even if the contractors hold a current DBID’s credential, they will need to be vetted for NNSY by CNRMA before they can be granted access to the shipyard.

6. Can you advise if there is an incumbent for this service? Yes, there is an incumbent.
