SECTION F - DELIVERIES OR PERFORMANCE

The following have been modified:

F02 PERFORMANCE

FAR 52.211-8 TIME OF DELIVERY (JUN 1997)

(a) The Government requires completion of all work and delivery to be made in accordance to the following schedule:

REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

WITHIN DAYS AFTER

ITEM DATE OF NOTICE

NUMBER DESCRIPTION QUANTITY TO PROCEED

0001 CONSTRUCT, TEST 1 Vessel 540 calendar days

AND DELIVER

The Government will evaluate equally, as regards time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered non-responsive and rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.

OFFEROR’S PROPOSED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

WITHIN DAYS AFTER

ITEM DATE OF NOTICE

NUMBER DESCRIPTION QUANTITY TO PROCEED

0001 CONSTRUCT, TEST, 1 Vessel _____ calendar days

AND DELIVER

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than one day after the award is dated.

Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of Notice To Proceed rather than the date the written notice is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor’s date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding five days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails. If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required date, the offer will be considered non-responsive and rejected.

(End of Clause) (End of Summary of Changes)

The Government has received several questions concerning the solicitation and provides the following answers to these questions (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.

1. Can you please clarify that the desired delivery frame is within 480 days of Notice to Proceed as stated in F02 PERFORMANCE? The DELIVERY INFORMATION for CLIN 0001 indicates

480 days ADC. Would the government consider delivery within 540 days? Please indicate a timeframe for award and anticipated NTP as it will impact the contractor’s ability to commit to the required delivery schedule.

The Government has extended the period of performance for this requirement from 480 days to 540 days from Notice To Proceed issuance.

The government is unable to provide, with any certainty, an anticipated award date. There are too many variables, both on the government end and the potential contractor end, for that call to be made at this time.

2. If a vendor does not have experience building catamarans but is using a subcontractor that does, will they still be considered eligible?

The government cannot determine a contractors edibility until the proposal is evaluated by a technical team. If the offeror is using a sub-contractor to meet the build element, a signed letter of commitment from the subcontractor is required in addition to the above. The solicitation requires that any subcontractor experience is at the designated facility. FAR Clause 52.219-14 requires that no more than 50 percent of the work be performed by subcontractors.
