Does the Government have a CDRL and DID for CLIN 2016, Training Aides, Devices, Simulations and Simulators (TADDS)? Are there specific critical tasks and learning objectives relative to collective training the simulators must address?

There is no CDRL associated with CLIN 2016. That CLIN is created for a hardware deliverable, not a data deliverable. Answered

2WestWill the Government clarify that CDRL A085 is to be priced separately under CLIN 2021?

Yes, CLIN 2021 is to be separately priced. The correction will be added to a future solicitation amendment.

Since this is in the EMD phase, it appears that CDRL A046 should not be a required deliverable during the EMD phase as CDRL A044 is the Operator Manual in the EMD phase and A046 is the Operator Manual in the P&D phase. Will the Government please clarify?

CDRL A046 (OPERATOR TM OVERARCHING) is not a deliverable during the

EMD phase. Answered

4West

Attachment 0025, ID 136 - Technical Manuals CDRL A044, A045, A046, A047: The deliverables on this task include CDRL A044 and A045. Since this is in the P&D phase it appears that CDRLs A044 and A045 (an EMD requirement) should not be included.

Shouldn't CDRLs A046 and A047 be the DEP TM deliveries in the P&D phase that essentially replace the EMD PDEP manuals of CDRLs A044 and A045? Please clarify.

CDRLs A044 and A045 are associated with EMD TM deliverables. CDRLs

A046 and A047 are associated with P&D TM deliverables. Attachment 0025

(Integrated Master Schedule) has been updated and will be made available through a future solicitation amendment. CDRLs will always take precedence over any attachment or program schedule.

Page 69 of the Solicitation shows CLIN 2005, DEP delivery is 270 DADO. CDRL A051 states the DEP is delivered at 180 days. Attachment 0025 indicates pubs initial validation plan would be held 30 days after Fair opportunity decision in the timeline. Will the

Government please clarify the due date of CLIN 2005 DEP?

CDRL A051 already reflects the correct delivery timing of 180 DADO. The

CLIN 2005 delivery timing narrative will be changed from 270 to 180 DADO in a future amendment.

Within Attachment 0025, the delivery timing listed for CDRL A051 is correct.

Though Attachment 0025 has been updated to show a corrected name change for CDRL A051. Attachment 0025 has been updated in Amendment

0001.

CDRL A071 states, "The contractor shall deliver a Familiarization Training Guide (FTG) for each test event." Paragraph C.6.13.19.2.4 states, "The contractor shall provide familiarization training…at LUT, PQT, and LD." Attachment 0025 includes an entry for

FTGs for the Engineering Development Test (EDT), but it does not specify FTGs for the

Logistics Demonstration. Request the Government clarify which events will require FTGs.

Are they required for the EDT, LUT, PQT, TM Verification, and LD?

Familiarization training is provided for all test events. EMD testing is defined under C.5.15 Training. P&D testing is defined under C.6.13.19.2.4

CDRL A077 states the Training Course Completion Report is due for all training events at

Logistics Demonstration, TM Verification, Limited User Test, and Initial Operator Test and

Evaluation. This list does not include the Production Quality Test (PQT). Does the

Government expect a Training Course Completion Report following the training that would precede the PQT?

CDRL A077 lists all events for which Training Course Completion Reports are required. Answered

8West

CDRL A077 includes the TM Verification as an event that requires a Training Course

Completion Report. Does the Government intend the contractor to deliver the full

Operator (40 hours) and Maintainer (80 hours) Training in support of the TM Verification event? Familiarization Training is for Test events. TM Verification is not a test event. Answered

Solicitation paragraph C.6.1.4.1, requires the delivery of two Collective Virtual Training

Simulators. Is there guidance as to the requirements of the training simulator including a user manual and training on the training simulator? If so, what is the period of time for performance of this training?

C.6.1.4.1 will be revised in a future amendment as follows:

"The contractor shall deliver one TADSS package 90 days after completion of IOT&E as identified in the specified DO. The TADSS package consists of two collective Virtual Training Simulators, one ERS, two containment loads of hose, one Automated Pump Station, Support Equipment (for one mile), and one C2M. The contractor shall provide adequate training, no more than three days so that the Government can operate and train the simulator."

This will be added to section C.6.1.4.1 in a future solicitation amendment:

"The Collective Virtual Training Simulator will simulate E2FDS operations as well as introduce conditions and faults that would require actions from leaders and operators. It will be in the form of a software module integrated in the centralize control station, stand-alone laptop based software, integrated Human/Machine Interface (HMI) panels with software integrated in pump stations or any combination of these approaches. No special facilities are required for the Collective Virtual Training Simulator. "

CLIN 2021 Technical Data Package (TDP) Option references Statement of Work paragraph

C.6.4.1. Paragraph C.6.4.1 states that 'the contractor shall prepare and deliver the

Production Baseline TDP in contractor format IAW CDRL A085 and Attachment 0016

Production TPD 20JUL2015.' However, Attachment 0016 states 'Production Government

Format Technical Data Package (TDP)' in its title and CDRL A085 states that 'the contractor shall prepare the Production Level Government Format Technical Data

Package (TDP) in English per Attachment 0016.' Therefore, the statement of work, Attachment 0016 and CDRL A085 appear to be in conflict. Please advise of the desired format for CLIN 2021 Technical Data Package (TDP) Option. This is the same scenario for

Statement of Work paragraph C.5.4 EMD Technical Data Package (TDP) Requirements.

C.5.4 states 'The contractor shall prepare and deliver a sample TDP in contractor format IAW

CDRL A008 and Attachment 0003 Sample Developmental TDP 20JUL15.' However, both

CDRL A008 and Attachment 0003 state Sample Developmental Government Format

Technical Data Package (TDP). Please advise.

Solicitation sections C.5.4 and C.6.4.1 both incorrectly call for "Contractor" format drawings. Both locations should call for "Government" format drawings. Though all associated CDRLs and Attachments are correct. A revision will be added to a future solicitation amendment.

Paragraph C.3.1.3 states, "The contractor shall develop and deliver a detailed IPMR for the E2FDS IAW CDRL A003 and Attachment 0025 Integrated Master Schedule. The IPMR defines the contractor's organizational roles, staffing (prime and subcontractor), and the program in terms of cost, schedule, and performance." Since the E2FDS is a Firm Fixed

Price Contract, why is cost reporting requested? Please clarify cost data requested.

CDRL A003 Block 16 states: "Section 2: IMPR (Format 2 Organizational

Structure) defines cost and schedule performance data by the contractor's organizational structure (e.g., Functional or Integrated Product Team (IPT)).

Since the E2FDS is a Firm Fixed Priced contract organizational structure will not include cost breakdown."
