SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 18 JULY

Questions and Answers W912BU-18-B-0008 (As of 10 Jul 18)

Q1. On Page 20 of the solicitation the size of the barge is stated to be 85’ x 30’ x 7’, on the

Drawing labeled “Dry Dock Plan” the Principle Particulars are stated to be 114’ x 54’ x 9’.

Please clarify which information is correct.

A1. The reference drawing 731-E170-01 is just that, a reference drawing. It was provided to give information that USACE requires on dry-docking plans. It is not intended to be used to build anything. Section C170 states:

"The dry docking plan shall be developed to show the blocking arrangement. The blocks to be used for docking shall be the standard dry docking blocks from the US Army Corps of

Engineer’s Ensley Shipyard & Repair Facility in Memphis, TN as shown on the reference drawing."

Q2. Drawings supplied with the bid package include Dry Dock Plan and Block Plans with no

Construction Drawings or General Arrangement Drawings supplied. Are there any contract drawings available for Floating Crane Barge, Solicitation # W912BU-18-B-0008?

A2. Other than those already posted, contract drawings are not provided with this solicitation.

Please see section C002, which details the responsibilities of the contractor with respect to barge design.

Q3. Is there a “neat steel”, “purchase steel” or “estimated plate steel weight” for the vessel which might be utilized for comparison to our calculated figures?

A3. No, as the barge will be contractor designed.

Q4. Could not locate drawings and documents for the C540 crane. Additionally, the attached drawings start at 731-E170-011.pdf; perhaps the first ten (10) drawings were not attached?

A4. The only reference drawing to be provided by section J is 731-E170-01 DRY

DOCKING PLAN. 731-E170-011 is page one of that drawing. 012 page two etc... No pages were missed.

Q5. Per Amendment 0001, the last Q&A on page 2, it appears the answer was cut off. It reads, “Regarding Section C540,” Could the Government please kindly provide an update that provides the information that appears to have been cut off in this response?

A5. The Q&A document was not cut off. The text “Regarding Section C540” should not have been included at the end.

Q6. In accordance with Section F- Deliveries or Performance, can the Government please confirm whether the delivery of the three phases of the contract act concurrently or consecutively? For instance, is the Contract 360 calendar days total or will the Government issue a NTP for each Item Number?

A6. The contract shall consist of three sequential (consecutive) phases as per Contract Clause

H01 D. Total contract duration is 45 calendar days + 15 calendar days + 180 calendar days + 15 calendar days + 360 calendar days for a total duration of 615 calendar days.

Q7. Section C390 Permanent Ballast – Can the USACE provide a preliminary quantity of permanent ballast lead shot to be included in bids?

A7. Section C390 shall be amended to include the following sentences: “For bidding purposes, the contractor shall assume that the required quantity of permanent ballast to be installed under this section is 65,000 lbs. The final amount and location of ballast required shall be determined during the engineering phase (Phase II) of the contract.”

Q8. Does a crane that is designed and built to the API 2C specification but has ABS certification of API 2C compliance rather than the API Medallion meet the requirements of the specification?

A8. No. Per Contract Clause C540.D, "The crane shall be delivered with the API 2C medallion".

Q9. Section C553 Spud Laydown Storage – Does the USACE require the retaining mounts for the spud lay down structure to be installed on doubler plates?

A9. Yes. The retaining mounts are deck fittings and as such fall under the requirements of

Contract Clause C305.B.

Q10. Section H18 Final Photographs – Can the final photographs be taken after Provisional

Acceptance at the Contractors facility, but before Final Acceptance at the final delivery location?

This assumes full compliance with the RFP and all equipment items are installed and complete at the time of Provisional Acceptance.

A10. Yes, the photos may be taken after provisional acceptance has been issued. However they must be completed prior to final payment and final acceptance in accordance with Contract

Clause H02.C.

Q11. C300 Structure – This section does not clarify if there are special requirements for the head logs to accommodate tug loads due to pushing the barge. Please clarify there are no requirements to strengthen the head logs to accommodate being pushed by a tug.

A11. The Government has no additional requirements beyond those identified in the specification.

Q12. C305 B – Use of doublers for deck fittings are noted. ABS typically prohibits the use of doublers except for emergency repairs. Please clarify if this will be an issue with obtaining ABS compliance. If so, please clarify if the use of inserts at the deck fitting locations is an acceptable alternative.

A12. The use of doubler plates is required as written in Contract Clause 305.B. The use of inserts at the deck fitting locations is not an acceptable alternative.

Q13. The specification calls for the use of aluminum anodes. These are generally favored in freshwater situations. Please confirm the use of aluminum anodes.

A13. Cathodic protection shall be provided as per Contract Clause C405.

Q14. Please confirm if the contractor is to provide a 1 yard clamshell bucket.

A14. Yes, per the requirements of Contract Clause C540.F.6, the contractor shall supply a 1 yard capacity clamshell bucket.

Q15. Section C160 B – Please clarify if the allowable deck load that will be included into the design for stability purposes is 1,200 psf or is it less than this? If less, also please clarify intended location.

A15. The maximum deck load shall be determined by the contractor during stability/lifting stability analyses, however it shall not exceed the design deck loading of 1,200 psf.

Q16. Section I – The IFB does not include FAR Clause 52.219-6 Notice Of Total Small Business

Set-Aside. The notification for the solicitation on Fed Biz Opps however does state that the project is a small business set aside under NAICS code 336611. Please clarify.

A16. This solicitation is issued as a total small business set-aside. FAR Clause 52.219-6 was erroneously excluded, and will be added as part of amendment 0002.

Q17. Can the program HECSALV could be used instead of the GHS program for the hydrostatics?

A17. No. Files must be in GHS as specified in the solicitation.
