Netherlands to Drawsko Pomorskie, Poland that is given in the solicitation Attachment 01. Cap rates for ceiling prices for the future movement of the set amount of equipment between Vlissingen Port, Netherlands, and Drawsko Pomorskie, Poland, in Attachment 01 will be set for awardees, based on proposed rates." While these rates are set as a ceiling for this route only, all other routes will be competed at the task order level, amongst contract holders. Please refer to 52.216-22 on questions regarding the contract type which will be awarded, an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.

8 52.225-17 RFP We note that it is possible to quote in foreign currency and the US Government will convert to US Dollars basis posted exchange rates. However if quoting in US Dollars and the currency fluctuates between offer and movement, what is the contingency or contractor recourse? The exchange rate used for evaluation of offers will be pulled from xe.com on the date the proposal are due, per FAR 52.225-17. Differences in exchange rates between Prime Contractor and subcontractor are the responsibility of the Prime Contractor and shall be accounted for at the time of the task order proposal.

9 52.228-3 RFP We note Defense Base Act cover is required. Will ACC support an exemption to use local supplied workers compensation insurance? While an exemption to the entire DBA is not possible, please note that most of the countries within the operating area of this contract is waived per the Department of Labor (https://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/dbawaivers/dbawaivers.htm).

10 52.228-9 RFP We note the requirement for third party cargo insurance. Can the ACC declare the value of the goods being transported? Does ACC have a minimum acceptable deductible? Does ACC have a minimum insurance provider rating? ACC does not have a minimum deductible, nor does it have a minimum insurance provider rating. Insurance shall be in accordance with best commercial practice, as this is a commercial based contract.

11 In the RFP - The validity of the offer in page 10 is 30 days, and in page 12 it is 90 days.

Can this be clarified? The offer validity shall be for 90 days. The solicitation has been amended to update page 10.

12 252.247-7003 RFP Will ACC consider a fuel adjustment? Per reference 252.247-7003 directs a pass thought of any fuel adjustment to the bearer of the fuel expense. However nothing in the contract further addresses how any fuel adjustment would be

into ceiling rate for the specified route only. Can ACC guide how it might handle smaller quantities on this route? Acquisition costs for conveyances are dependent on the total number of conveyances needed. Are these Not to exceed prices or ceiling prices applicable on a line item basis? Further MHE cost is a per hour cost with minimum hours. Basis the full cargo list the cost of MHE per piece is significantly different than if the shipper was moving only one or two pieces. This cargo list shall be priced as if that entire lot of equipment is moving from Vlissingen Port, Netherlands to Drawsko Pomorskie, Poland. The contractor will only be held to this ceiling price if every single item on this list is moved at the same time. Outside of this list, for other movements (even larger or smaller movements to these locations), the task orders will be competed amongst the Contract holders. As a reminder, this is expected to be a multiple award IDIQ contract, where more than one vendor will receive a contract. These contract holders will compete for movements at the task order level.

5.7.2 refers to the wait time caused by the contractor. The Government will provide a 2-day delay window for the contractor to upload or download assests or passengers. If the delay will exceed 2-days then the Government will decide the next course of action, e.g. cancelation or extend the RDD date.

We will provide an amendment to change the language in the PWS.

Comment: From the text we understand that the Contractor is required to provide 60 Buses with pick-up locations in Brussels, Nurnburg and Warsaw - we assume the troops will be going to the destination of Drawsko Poland. However, the solicitation does not make that clear, and if other destinations will be travelled to during the 45 day period.

Question: Will the buses collect troops from the three locations mentioned, and take them (one-way) to Drawsko Poland, or what other journeys and distances will the buses be expected to make.

Comment: The pricing sheet mentions a number of armored vehicle-launched bridge (AVLB-70) vehicles. Within some European Countries, Cargo of this nature has to be dismantled.

Question 8a: Can the Government confirm if the vehicle is complete with bridges. If so, will the Government dismantle this equipment prior to being made available for loading? Question 8b: Can the Government provide weight and dimensions for the bridges and vehicle separately?

8a: For the purposes of pricing the cargo list, Government will dismantle the folding portable bridge from the vehicle.

8b: Bridge weight: 13.3 Tons Tank Vehicle weight: 44.7 Tons

The Contractor shall be responsible to ensure that services are fully available for execution on the first day of contract performance. Since all personnel will require MFAST and other Government owned software authorization and profiles made, which can take a month before they are allowed access if they have a CAC. Would the Government consider sponsoring personnel with a CAC 30 - 60 days prior in order to be granted access to required systems? Task orders will not exceed 6 months, and will only require sporadic installation access. Therefore a CAC or non-CAC installation access card is not needed.
