About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) document for a Sources Sought Notice (SS-26-029) related to a vessel charter. The Q&A addresses several key aspects of a potential vessel charter, including installation of CONSOL stations, vessel hire terms, and reflagging requirements. Specifically, the government clarifies that the 30-day allowance for Fuel Delivery Station installation does not apply to CONSOL station installations, and the vessel may be considered off-hire for any cause preventing full working. The cost of installing CONSOL stations and reflagging the vessel to US Flag should be included in the Daily Charter Hire Rate. The government has not planned to extend the current response deadline, but notes that responses after the deadline may still be considered for this non-formal solicitation.
