Ques�on and Answers:

1. Confirming that the Contractor will not need to clean Tank 737 nor re-clean the based on PWS Sec�on 5.1.2? The installa�on will clean the tank.

2. Atachment B states fuel remining to be N/A in four out of five tanks, with zero listed in the other. PWS

1.5.8.1 states “the contractor is not authorized to remove/transfer or dispose of more fuel than what is stated in the contract per Atachment B.” Looking for clarifica�on, are these tanks already empty and verified safe for entry? Tanks that are for internal inspec�on will be empty and cleaned. No fuel transfer to be conducted. It is the KTRs responsibility to ensure the tank is safe for entry by monitoring and con�nuing to monitor the space when staff is inside the tank.

3. Tank specifica�ons in Part 4 Contractor Furnished Items & Responsibili�es Sec�on 4.2.4 states “The wiper seal product data specifica�on sheets from the manufacturer must be submited for review with the contractor’s proposal.” We would like to request an extension to ensure the proper wiper seal specifica�on is included for our proposal. It is not acceptable to submit a�er the proposals are due because we wouldn’t be able to verify the following:

Seals must be manufactured in the United States and must be provided in minimum con�nuous lengths of 8.54 meter 28 feet with no factory splices. Seals must be compa�ble with avgas, fuel oil, gasoline/ethanol, gasoline/MTBE 80/20, gasoline (unleaded), avia�on turbine fuels, kerosene, and sea water. Material must be compliant with UFGS 33 56 21.17.

4. Cleaning of tank in Part 5, Specific Tasks, Sec�on 5.1.2. Sates the installa�on will drain and clean the tank. Please verify the tank cleaning is not the contractor’s responsibility. Further, Sec�on 5.1.2 states the tank cleanliness and internal atmosphere shall be verified in accordance with UFGS 33 01 50.55 prior to entry. Looking for clarifica�on, is the installa�on verifying cleanliness and internal atmosphere in accordance with UFGS 33 01 50.55 or is this the contractor's responsibility? Tank cleaning will be conducted by the installa�on. It is the KTRs responsibility to ensure the tank is safe for entry by monitoring and con�nuing to monitor the space when staff is inside the tank. The Installa�on is emptying and cleaning the tank.

5. Part 5, Sec�on 5.1.12, States, when the tank is ready to be closed and RTO, the Contractor is responsible to provide new stainless-steel bolts and all manway gaskets on the first shell course and ensure there are no leaks at the manways by filling the tank to at least the first shell course. Please verify, the installa�on wants the contractor to provide fuel for the leak test, if so, please provide fuel specifica�ons and es�mated quan�ty required to reach the first shell. Installa�on will provide fuel for transfer and no leak verifica�on.

6. Atachment J.2 JBER tank 740 PDF file cannot be opened receiving the following message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and cannot be repaired." Please provide this atachment as a working file. Revised file provided again.

7. I would like to ask you about the Ship To Address men�oned in page 34 of 62, it says that the ship to address is:

COE PROGRAMS MANAGEMENT

BRANCH

CENWO-PPMD-INVOICES

USA, OMAHA CENWO-PM-P

1616 CAPITOL AVE

OMAHA NE 68102-4901

I would like to confirm if it is the ship to address or the Air Force Base of Elmendorf, AK 99506. The Ship to Address is correct as writen.

8. 52.212-1 Addendum, (b) states the proposal shall be submited to the Contrac�ng Officer and Contrac�ng Specialist by email. Please provide the names and email addresses for the CS and KO for proposal submission.
