Q&A Response

Crane and Riggers Support

W911SG-25-Q-A037

1. Can you confirm the approximate weights for each major item involved, or advise where this information can be found?

Answer: The PWS has been updated to reflect the equipment requirements. The heaviest individual piece of equipment weighs 12,000 lbs, and the heaviest container weighs 16,000 lbs.

2. How many cranes, riggers, and flatbeds are required per mission or service date, and what are the specifications for each (e.g., capacity, type, dimensions, lifting radius)?

Answer: Each mission may require up to two 40-ton cranes, one 20-ton crane, two riggers and one crane operator (per crane), and one flatbed truck with two operators. The PWS has been updated to reflect this information accordingly and how the missions will require what equipment.

3. What rigging configurations are expected for lifts (e.g., single-point, spreader bars, slings)?

Answer: Slings will be predominantly used but crane team should be able to do as the PWS states, “connect/disconnect a variety of hoisting devices.”

4. What is the expected frequency and quantity of generator movements, and can you provide the weight and dimensions of each unit?

Answer: Approximately three generator movements are anticipated. Specific weights and dimensions will be provided as available.

5. How many 20’ and 40’ sea vans or containers are typically involved per operation?

Answer: Approximately 25 containers will be involved over the course of the contract. At this time, only 20’ containers are expected now. For this cause, 40’ containers have been removed from the PWS.

6. What are the handling requirements for the crates and sandbags referenced in the scope of work?

Answer: These items will be loaded onto a flatbed and moved locally within the training area.

7. What is the minimum advance notification window for unscheduled or short-notice taskings?

Answer: A minimum of 24 hours' notice will be provided. The COR will make every effort to share tasking information earlier when possible (e.g. up to 2 weeks) as the schedule will be determined upon when the trucking company will arrive to take the equipment to the port and sometimes not all the trucks for transport arrive the same day due to delays. This transportation requirement to haul equipment will be a separate requirement and NOT through this requirement. This one only requires the team to load the equipment.

8. Are maps or coordinates available for crane setup, offload, and upload zones at McGregor Range?

Answer: Yes, coordinates are available for planning purposes. The McGregor Range Gate is located at latitude 32.0799735, longitude -106.1866613, accessible via McGregor Range Road approximately 5 miles east of U.S. Highway 54. The four project sites listed in the PWS (Technical Exhibit 3) are located 1 to 4 miles from the McGregor Range Gate.

9. Should pricing for the FFP proposal be based solely on the estimated 110 labor hours and scheduled 2025 task dates, or should it include full, daily on-call readiness (including weekends and holidays) for the entire 12-month period of performance?

Answer: The labor hours and task dates in the PWS closely reflect the actual anticipated workload. However, the extended period of performance accounts for the TBD upload date of the HAWK equipment, which is contingent on transportation availability to return it to its country of origin. This timing remains undetermined and may occur at any point. The contract remains open to maintain readiness for this final task. The COR will provide the upload date as soon as it becomes available to support contractor planning. The estimated labor hours are based on historical data.

10. Will the contractor be responsible for physical or mechanical disassembly of

HAWK system components, or only crane-supported disassembly (i.e., lifting, rigging, and placement)?

Answer: The assembly and disassembly of HAWK components will be performed by the customer. The contractor is only responsible for providing lifting support with the crane since the components are heavy.

11. Will any PATRIOT system lifts involve battery components such as the AN/MPQ-53 or MPQ-65?

Answer: At this time, the customer has not confirmed whether battery components such as the AN/MPQ-53 or MPQ-65 will be included in the PATRIOT system lifts.

However, the maximum equipment weight has been provided separately, and the PWS has been updated to reflect the appropriate equipment and lifting requirements. Contractors should refer to the revised PWS and base planning on the stated maximum weight.
