1. Section A – Solicitation/Contract Form – The required response date/time has changed from 6

Please provide details and a reference drawing of the intended mooring device which the buoys shall be compatible with.

Government Response: Reference drawing provided with this amendment.

b. Regarding solicitation number W9126G17Q0018 (Purchase Mooring Buoys for the US

Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District, Galveston, Texas), the product description lists, “Buoys shall be equivalent to Ocean Guard Mooring Buoy, MB‐90.”

Government Response: For Clarification ‐ That is correct. Please refer to FAR 52.211‐6 "BRAND NAME OR EQUAL" for consideration for award of an equal product.

c. Mooring device and chain loads shall be transmitted axially through the center of the buoy. The pull‐through working load applies to the entire tension system including the mooring device. See attached reference drawing of the mooring device. Pad eye at bottom of buoy shall be recessed within the buoy hull.

Government Response: Correct, referenced drawing of the mooring device is provided with this amendment.

g. The combined synopsis / solicitation states that the color of the buoy shall conform to Feed Std. 595 (which we understand to mean the U.S. Federal Standard 595).

We would appreciate if you could provide the required color standards per SAE‐AMS‐STD‐595.
