COCO Storage Services, Port of Salalah, Oman Solicitation SP0600-12-R-0518

1. This amendment is hereby issued to respond to Offeror questions resulting from discussions of the Port of Salalah, Oman requirement in Dubai, UAE. The Questions and DLA Energy (DLAE) responses are as follows:

A. QUESTIONS ON NEGOTIATION ISSUES SECTION A:

1. The Offeror usually submits G9.07-5 Electronic Transfer of Funds Payments-Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System rather than G9.07 Electronic Transfer of Funds Payments-Corporate Trade Exchange. The Offeror has submitted G9.07-5 in our Offer Submission Package on 30th August 2012. Please clarify if this is correct or if the Offeror needs to amend it. Please also clarify the difference between the two.

DLA Energy’s Response: Under G-0003 G9.07 Electronic Transfer of Funds Payments-Corporate Trade Exchange the receiving bank must be located in the United States and must be capable of receiving Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions. G-0004 G9.07-5 Electronic Transfer of Funds Payments- Federal Reserve Wire Transfer System the receiving bank must be capable of receiving Federal wire transactions via either a SWIFT Code or an IBAN. If you choose to keep G9.07-5 no further actions is required. If you decide to use G9.07, then the clause needs to be completed and signed.

B. QUESTIONS ON NEGOTIATION ISSUES SECTION B TECHNICAL EVALUATION SUMMARY:

2. The Offeror needs clarification on what DLA means by ‘Estimated Throughput”. The Offeror will build its proposal on the minimum throughput provided in the solicitation.

DLA Energy’s Response: There is no minimum throughput associated with this contract. DLA Energy provides an estimated throughput to forbid formulation purposes only. Estimated throughput is to be used to calculate costs for fixed price offers. Throughput above this number will be paid under the Excess Throughput Contract Line Item.

3. For both Product Receiving and Product Shipping Requirements, please advise if this means ‘simultaneous’ products or vessels.

DLA Energy’s Response: DLA Energy is only requesting one vessel operation at a time but if the contractor has the ability to offer more resources then that should be clearly stated in the offer.

4. Please clarify what DLA means by ‘receiving and offloading manifolds’. Kindly note that offloading back to the facility contradicts Amendment 0010, dated 30th November 2012 on responsibility of product contamination. Please therefore clarify which one you want the Offeror to accept.

DLA Energy’s Response: The terms receiving and offloading manifolds are used interchangeably in this context.

5. Please clarify this statement ‘Capable of loading and receiving one truck simultaneously’. Does ‘simultaneous’ mean two products at the same time or will the truck be equipped with two separate hatches to handle two products?

DLA Energy’s Response: Simultaneously means the contractor must be able to receive one truck and load one truck at the same time.

6. As this is a new facility, there is no data on ‘port restriction requirements and height restrictions from the ship's manifold to the waterline during loading and unloading’. This data is dependent on the size of vessel calling in to the Port of Salalah. Kindly provide the size of vessel expected to arrive for discharging/loading products i.e. maximum DWT or displacement. The loading arms will be designed according to your response.

COCO Storage Services, Port of Salalah, Oman Solicitation SP0600-12-R-0518

DLA Energy’s Response: DLA Energy spot charter vessels on the open market your facility should be designed to handle commercial vessels up to the size specified in the PWS. It is up to the Offeror to research and provide any port restriction for this facility.

7. The Offeror accepts that the filtration system will meet the specifications. Please clarify whether micron filters are acceptable for both products. Also, does DLA require filtration for F76, as this is not clear from the solicitation?

DLA Energy’s Response: Micron filter are acceptable. There is no requirement to filter F76 upon receipt, but there should be a capability to filter during tank to tank transfers when required.

2. Offerors are required to acknowledge and submit Amendment 0012 as part of Final Proposal Revisions (FPR), which is due no later than January 22, 2013 at 9:00 a.m., Fort Belvoir, Va. (EST).

3. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
