SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been modified:

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q1) it’s understood the you folks will have required power where we need it. We are prepared to do final tie-in with guidance on positions for locking out. Will Letterkenny allow us to do that tie-in?

A1) Based upon paragraph 3.6, the contractor is responsible to connect the machine to a Letterkenny located disconnect. This will be done with the support of government electricians.

Q2) Based on already developed designs I do have weights of every individual assembly that’s potentially moving

in. Both the headstock and tailstock are each about twelve thousand pounds. If I am to understand our technicians feedback accurately Letterkenny is going to unload outside with a fork truck with our supervision and bring inside.

Would you please confirm that the equipment that you have available including the fork truck(s) and over head crane hoist are capable of lifting these components?

A2) Based upon paragraph 3.10, the contractor will be present, aid, support, and oversee the off-loading, locating, and installing of the equipment. Letterkenny’s riggers and equipment will support your personnel with that effort.

Letterkenny has equipment that is rated to lift 12,000 lbs. or more.

Q3) In your attached quote underLASER SCANNER SYSTEMit states: “any obstruction in the programmed area”.Several paragraphs below it goes on to state: “No Programming Included.

During the technical evaluation a question arose: “Is laser safety zones need programmed? If so, how do we have programmed if you don't include programming?”

A3) Those statements are generic because the manufacturer does not know in depth what the customers application

is. The scanners will come un-programmed, meaning that they are set to scan to their full potential (which would be a 190 degree scan field with a 27.56ft radius.) This field of view may see an isle way where people walk and can trip the laser scanner shutting the machine down. If needed, any such area could be programmed out of view of the scanner. The end user could do it by downloading free software and connect to the scanner via a cable

Software and hardware purchased for this project shall be registered to Commander, Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, PA 17201.

7.4 System Environment Specifications:

7.4.1 All supplied software must be capable of operating in a multi-user environment and data which contains permissions information shall be hidden from view and inaccessible to those with less than administrator level access. Shared accounts shall not be used, and users shall only be authorized the minimum security rights to operate the application software. Users will not have access to system or software configuration items (e.g., Control Panel, software and hardware installation). Under no circumstances will the intended end user log in using the Administrator or Root account for routine operation of the equipment. The use of these accounts will be restricted to only administrative activities which will be carried out by LEAD Information Technology personnel. All software products shall employ a minimum of three permission based levels of access.

7.4.1.1 Administrator - Full control at root level, restricted to LEAD IT personnel and when required, the Contractor.

7.4.1.2 Maintenance - Mid-level control required to perform maintenance and alter control parameters as needed.

7.4.1.3 Operator - Minimum control necessary to perform the routine operation of software. The Operator shall not be able to alter the programming of software, make changes to executable files, or modify control parameters.

7.4.2 Application Interoperability: If an application will interfere with the operation of the industrial system, E.g., (McAfee Anti-Virus), the Contractor shall provide a written statement to the LEAD IT Directorate explaining the technical restrictions placed upon them.

7.4.3 Auditing: If applicable, the contractor shall enable audit files and data logs for access by LEAD

Cybersecurity personnel to audit access and actions on the equipment.

7.4.4 User Acceptance Testing (UAT): LEAD Cyber Security Personnel will have the ability to conduct validation testing with approved security tools prior to equipment being introduced to the shop floor. This testing will also satisfy any UAT requirements. A UAT Plan will be furnished prior to testing and all equipment documentation will be made available for review during the test. If discrepancies are discovered the contractor shall remediate identified issues prior to government acceptance.

7.5 Documentation Requirements:

7.5.1 A complete set of instruction manuals containing all of the information necessary to operate, maintain, and reinstall all software and hardware contained within the system shall be provided by the Contractor. These manuals shall include step-by-step instructions which facilitate the rebuilding of the system in the event of a fatal system crash.

7.5.2 If networked, the Contractor shall provide the system’s network design drawings to the Information

Technology Directorate. These drawings should include complete directional data flow diagrams that include all ports and protocols in use.

7.5.3 The Contractor shall provide to Industrial Automation at least two electronic copies of all control unit programs. These copies should include description files of the ladder logic and any cabling required to connect to the control systems. No control units will be password protected and no other form of lockout measure shall be implemented by anyone other than LEAD IT employees. The Contractor shall also provide electrical wiring diagrams for all installed control systems to this LEAD Industrial Automation group.

7.5.4 Certificate of Networthiness: Certificate of Networthiness (CoN) certification ensures Automated

Information Systems (AIS) utilizing the Army Network are developed in compliance with the Clinger Cohen Act and are secure, supportable, sustainable, and compatible with the Army Enterprise Infrastructure (AEI) (as defined in AR 25-1). All new AIS capabilities and all capability modifications and upgrades must be assessed to validate their Networthiness (network security, network impact, compatibility with the infrastructure, infrastructure requirements, spectrum support, security policy compliance, Joint Technical Architecture –Army (JTA-A) standards compliance, communications and information manpower, training, logistics support, schedule, and funding). If software is installed within the system, the Contractor shall work with LEAD Directorate of Information Management (DOIM) personnel to check for CoN availability and when not available, ensure a CoN is requested and all documentation is submitted.

7.6 Proposal Deviations:

7.6.1 Proposals or specifications that deviate from those described herein shall be coordinated for specific approval or rejection by the LEAD Information Technology representatives prior to shipment, installation, or acceptance of the equipment.

8.0 Final Acceptance: Once all conditions of this contract are met, final acceptance will be after 100 hours of continuous operation without a breakdown or failure, or 14 days, whichever comes first. If the machine has a failure or breakdown and it is determined that is the fault of the machine hardware or software, the operating time and 14 days timeframe start over each time this happens. After the 100 hour operating time or 14 days have been met, final payment of this contract will be made.
