SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

OFFEROR QUESTION & ANSWERS

Answers to the offerors’ questions are as follows:

(Questions that may be of general interest of all offerors/Government and that are not readily answered by the proceeding changes will appear below. These questions may have been paraphrased or altered to represent several questions regarding the same subject and/or clarify and simplify the question(s).

Questions and answers are issued to the Offerors for information only.)

QUESTION 1.It is our understanding that any steel used in steel renewal on vessel does not have to be from an ABS certified steel mill, is this a correct statement?

Answer: The steel is to be abs certified grade a. Source has no specific requirements

QUESTION 2.We request copies of full size plans or drawings for HAYWARD general arrangement, scantlings, outboard profile, topside view of vessel, rudders and stock and shafts. The purpose of which is to provide surface area to calculate square footage for ITEMS 0001AC & 0001AD, exterior and interior cleaning & painting and detail for rudder or shaft removal.

Answer: Copies of the available drawings are posted, electronically, with this amendment.

QUESTION 3.We request copy of stability booklet, specifically we are looking for the vertical center of gravity of vessel.

Answer: The vessel is old and unable to locate the stability booklet.

QUESTION 4.Is it possible for you not to re-install boom of crane until vessel returns from drydocking?

This will reduce cost for not having to shrink wrap or cover boom.

Answer: Boom is continuously exposed to the elements> boom need not be shrink wrapped

QUESTION 5.Is it correct that fire hose with splitter can be used in lieu of connecting shore side fire hose to ships main fire main?

Answer: A fire hose with splitter may be used in lieu of connecting to the ships fire main.

QUESTION 6.Instead of storing fuel removed from vessel can it be replaced with new low sulfur fuel?

Answer: The vessel is equipped with emd engines and, as such, requires a fuel which meets specific lubricity requirements. The government fuel is to be stored as per the solicitation.

QUESTION 7.Is it correct that side poppets shall be moved to allow blasting and painting underneath and that keel blocks are not to moved for this same purpose?

Answer: The hull is to receive complete and even coverage.

QUESTION 8.The term " clean the strainers and sea chests" refers to strainers onboard the vessel located in the engine room and sea chests located on the exterior of vessel, is this correct?

Answer: Strainers are located onboard the vessel, sea chests are located on the vessel exterior

QUESTION 9.Please give theoretical example of how to determine "Admin and Supervisor Support

(TP1.01-1.12) Insert rate:_______% and basis".

Answer: Costs such as rent, management salaries, clerical support staff, insurance, utilities, etc., which are incurred by or allocated to a business unit and which are for the administration and supervision of the business as a whole and have no direct relationship to the contract can not be charged to the contract. (These costs are necessary to the overall operation of the business although a direct relationship to the group cannot be shown.) This is expressed as a percentage or dollar factor that demonstrates the ratio between the expense allocable to the contract effort and the total base.

It is calculated for a given time period by dividing actual/historical expenses against the base.

AS% = expense/total base.

Theoretical example: Offeror A – has total administrative and supervisor support costs (rent, management salaries, clerical support staff, insurance, utilities, etc.,) of $1,000,000.00. The sum of the expenses during a similar period of performance/scope of work was $125,000.00.

Step 1: Calculate the % rate: $125,000.00/$1,000,000.00 = 12.5%

Step 2: Determine the basis. Sum the line item included in the group. Total - TP 1.01 -1.12 = $50,000.

Step 3: Calculate the amount: $50,000.00 x 12.5% = $6,250.00

NOTE: Indefinite items may use a higher percentage, dependent how much more or less of an effort is allocated.

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 06-Nov-2009 03:30 PM to 10-Nov-2009 04:00 PM.
