(1) Thule Air Base's seaport is not a commercial port and therefore does not operate in accordance with typical commercial practices. Operation and support services are contracted out and are performed by the Base Maintenance Contract (BMC) contractor, Greenland Contractors. Due to the base's location, its operation is limited to 60 calendar days, during the months of July and August. Ice is a frequent condition and should be expected. Additionally, the depth of the bay varies significantly with mean depth and tide, and is known to be shallow. While cargo and tanker vessels frequent the port annually without incident, larger vessels may find the port too shallow for berthing. Berth Depths in North Star Bay are typically greater than 12 m (MLW), except within a few meters from the face of the pier where the average depth rises to 9.5 m (min. depth: 7.5 m.). There are no Length Overall (LOA) restrictions.

(2) The U.S. Government contracts for charter sealift to Thule from both the USA and Denmark, and return. Contractors may either subcontract their own sealift, or utilize the Government chartered sealift in accordance with the stipulations of this contract.

For the use of the US Government charter sealift contracts, and at the rates identified in this amendment

no. 3, the contractor shall enter a transportation cost in the bid schedule, CLIN 0005. The transportation amount in CLIN 0005, will not be part of the contract award price, but will be used in the overall bid evaluation costs. Those costs will be set aside by the US Government to pay for the shipping costs. Any amount over the bid amount will be the responsibility of the contractor to pay. Should the contractor prefer, or the requirements of the work require furnishing their own sealift, the contractor should include those costs in his base bid item under CLIN 001 inclusive of any offloading costs at Thule air base.

Government furnished sealift provides the following:

(i) Sealift of contractor materials, equipment, tools, and supplies directly attributable to the performance of this contract from Norfolk, Virginia and/or from Aalborg, Denmark to Thule Air Base and reverse at no cost to the Contractor, but only up to the volume and/or the cost stipulated under this contract. See contract clause 52.247-60, Guaranteed Shipping Characteristics. Such transportation will occur only on scheduled Military Sealift Command (MSC) and/or Danish ships. Shipment will be in accordance with published summer shipping schedules of MSC and/or that issued by the Danish Shipping firm. Transportation to Norfolk, Virginia and/or to Aalborg in Denmark shall be at the Contractor's expense. The Contractor is responsible for the direct coordination with the Military Ocean Terminal, Norfolk, Virginia and/or the Danish shipper to determine deadline date(s) for delivery of cargo to the terminal for shipment, as well as prior booking, proper markings and documentation and all other requirements necessary for acceptance of cargo for shipment.

(ii) The Government shall provide transportation, at no cost to the Contractor, of Contractor's equipment, tools, materials, and supplies from the ship to designated storage areas on the base and retrograde equipment and tools from the same storage areas to the ship. This transportation shall include off-loading and loading of ships. Items will be shipped containerized to the maximum extent possible. Full containers shall be delivered to the Contractor's storage area, and it is the Contractor's responsibility to unload these containers. All non-contractor owned shipping containers are required to be emptied within 36 hours of delivery and made available for transport back to the Sealift carrier. Arrangements to keep the containers for a longer period of time should be coordinated directly with the Sealift carrier.

(iii) The contractor is required to provide similar packing, marking and documentation with retrograde shipments as with shipments headed to Thule AB. Retrograde shipments shall be properly packed for sealift transportation; the contract number shall be clearly marked on all items; and a list of items shall be provided to the shipping contractor. These items are required not only for the safety of the goods being transported, but are required in order to transport the goods via our Sealift carrier. Items not properly packaged, marked and identified will not be accepted by the Sealift carrier.

(iv) Although sealift transportation is provided by the Government at no cost to the contractor, it's use is not mandatory. Additionally, the Government shall not assume responsibility for any equipment, materials, or property until such is integrated into the final work product at Thule Air Base, and paid for under the clause at 52.232-5. Any damage claims and settlement shall be handled directly between the transportation carrier(s) and the construction contractor(s); however, the Contracting Officer shall be notified of any damage within 72 hours of discovery.

(v) The Contractor shall furnish its own drivers who are required to have a valid driver's license.

(vi) Contact Information:

(A) For MSC (shipments originating from/to the US): Point of Contact: Ms. Joyce Williams/ Mr. Rufus Strothers, Pacer Goose Coordinators, Commercial Phone: 757-443-1031/757-443- 1039, Cell Phone: 757-544-51217/757-544-5128, DSN: 646-1031 , FAX 757-443-1075, E-mail (joyce.williams@dla.mil), rufus.strothers@dla.mil. Request all transportation relating to Pacer Goose (the US cargo vessel used for transportation) be directed to the above numbers or delivered to: SW3185 - PACER GOOSE, DLA Distribution Norfolk, V.A. SW3185, Intermodal Hub Code O, 9551 Decatur Ave, Pier-8, Norfolk, VA 23511.

(B) For shipments originating from/to Denmark: Ms. Helle Christensen, Transportation Assistant, Commercial Phone: (45) 99 30 32 26, Fax: (45) 99 30 30 90, E-Mail: hch@ral.dk <mailto:hch@ral.dk> . Delivery Address of cargo: Royal Arctic Line, Gronlandshavnen. P.O. Box 8100, 9220 Aalborg Ost, Denmark.

(vii) All other transportation not covered in this clause is the Contractor's responsibility at the Contractor's expense.

(3) Should the contractor prefer, or requirements of the work require, furnishing their own sealift, the following applies.

(i) Private vessels must meet port entrance requirements.

(ii) To limit scheduling conflicts as much as possible, private vessels must coordinate arrival/departure dates/times with port operations well in advance.

(iii) With the exception of on/off-loading of ships, the services in paragraphs b(2)(ii) above apply. The contractor shall load/unload their vessel(s). Additionally, cargo shall be containerized to the maximum extent possible. Optionally, the contractor may arrange for the port operations contractor (GC) to perform loading and/or unloading services; however, such would be an agreement between contractors and cannot interrupt or take precedence over Government Contract requirements.”
