REPAIR

(a) It is the intent of these specifications that the vessel be out of service for work under this contract for no longer than a total of 120 calendar days, as follows: Due to the work schedule, the vessel cannot be made available for one continuous period of time; but will have to be made available to the contractor for two separate periods of time, as specified hereafter. The vessel will be delivered to the contractor after award. The vessel must be released by the contractor in order to travel to, and arrive at Fernandina Harbor, FL, on 27 July 2009. Whatever items of repair work (see Part 2, DETAILS OF WORK TO BE PREFORMED, below) the contractor begins during this first period of availability must be completed not later than close of business on July 24, 2009, such that the vessel will be fully functional. The vessel will be returned to the contractor approximately 60 calendar days later, on or about 22 September 2009, for the second period of availability, during which all specified work will be completed, after which the vessel will depart for its next assignment at Miami Harbor, FL.

The Contractor will therefore be required to commence work under the contract immediately upon delivery of the vessel to prosecute the work with faithfulness and energy and to complete the work within the availability period specified above. This 120 calendar-day availability period shall include the travel time of the vessel from its last duty station to the Contractor's yard;

the time required to perform all work specified herein; the travel time to and from Fernandina Harbor, FL, during the break in the availability period and the travel time from the Contractor's yard to the vessel's next duty station. (See the Evaluation of Cost to Deliver Vessel -- Ship Repair paragraph in paragraph 1.1.13 below for location of duty stations.) For purposes of this paragraph, it shall be assumed that the vessel travels at a rate of 150 miles per day. The vessel is operated only between the hours of operation of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. It shall be the contractor's responsibility to schedule work on the vessel in such a manner as to assure completion in a period, which, with allowance for travel time, does not extend past 120 calendar days.

(b) In computing the time for commencement and completion of the work under the contract, fractional days will be prorated to the nearest hour. The hour of commencement shall be reckoned as the time when the vessel leaves its duty station for the Contractor's yard. The hour of completion of the contract shall be reckoned as the time when the vessel arrives at its next duty station subsequent to leaving the Contractor's yard. The hour of delivery shall be reckoned as the time when the vessel enters the Contractor's yard. The hour of acceptance shall be reckoned as the time all work under the contract is accepted by the Contracting Officer. If all work is not satisfactorily completed when the vessel is returned to the Government, the Contractor shall complete the work remaining to be done. Any operating time lost by the vessel thereafter because of any activities of the Contractor in completing said work shall be included in the computation of time for completion of work under the contract.

(c) In Summary of the above mentioned period of performance, line items 0011, 0016, and 0020 are to be completed by 24 July 2009.

The remaining line items are to be completed between the periods of performance of 22 September 2009 through 27 December 2009.

1.1.14 EVALUATION OF COST TO DELIVER VESSEL -- SHIP REPAIR

Questions and Answers

General Q&A’s

1. Stability test: Will a hydrostatic table of the vessel be available to create the procedure for stability test?

Answer: This item has been deleted. The USCG is no longer requiring a new Stability Letter.

2. What are the contract requirements?

Answer: The contract requirements are clearly stated in Bid Schedule, Section B; and Scope of Work, Section C, inclusive, of the Solicitation.

3. What will it take to satisfy each item of the contract?

Answer: See paragraph 1.1.5 of the amended specifications, WORK COVERED BY THE CONTRACT PRICE -- SHIP REPAIR. The Authorized Representative of the Contracting Officer, or other person, designated in writing, will make the determination as to when each job or item is fully completed.

4. No general arrangement drawings, tank drawings, capacity plans, docking plans or shell expansions drawings are provided. It is requested that USACE provide the drawings.

Answer: The vessel was built in 1973, and drawings were obtained with the vessel. Some, but not all, drawings were revised/updated in 2004 when the main engines were replaced.

No drawings have been revised since 2004. The 2004 drawings will be furnished to all prospective offerors, see attachment;

but may not include all of the items requested by this offeror. These drawings may or may not accurately describe the current configuration of the vessel, and the Government makes no warranty or representation as to their accuracy. A prudent offeror would have gone aboard the vessel, if necessary, in order to fully inform themselves as to all conditions and matters which could in any way affect the work or the cost thereof. Failure to do so does not relieve offerors from responsibility for properly estimating the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work.

5. "as required" cannot be quantified, therefore cannot be priced. What work will USACE specifications require as a contract deliverable to satisfy each line item of the specifications were (sic) "as required" is noted.

Answer: The term "as required" in these sentences [the offeror does not specify in the question, but it is believed this question pertains to paragraphs b,(3) and b.(4)] is used as a modifier pertaining to surface preparation, and, as such is qualitative, NOT quantitative. The words "as required" as used in this sense pertain to how well the surfaces are prepared to accept new primer, paint, etc., for a finished paint system/job where the existing paint coating is failing.

The "as required" in these paragraphs also pertains to the offerors selection of sand blasting, mechanical removal, etc., to properly and adequately prepare the surface to accept the new primer and top coats. Again, a prudent offeror would have visited the vessel and inspected these above water surfaces.

6. The contract states that June 18, 2009 is the deadline for bids, but in your emails you say it is June 22, 2009. Which one is correct?

Answer: Both dates were amended. The most current due date is 1 July 2009 by 2:00 p.m. eastern time.

SECTION 0002 Q&A’s

7. Item 0002 states that the new plates and shapes are welded in place, but the requested quote is price per pound, which would be materials only. Please verify that this is either materials only or if the welding labor needs to be included in this quote. If the labor needs to be included in item 0002, why does item 0003 (page 12) request welding labor also? Also is the 100 pounds of plates and shapes a minimum?

Answer: With respect to the difference between the requirements under Bid Item 0002, Aluminum Plate and Shapes;

and Bid Item 0003, Welding Service: The welding labor specifications under Bid Item 0003 is for miscellaneous welding anywhere throughout the vessel, EXCEPT that associated with the renewal of plate and shapes (which would be included in Bid Item 0002). One example of such other welding would be to weld up cracks in shell plating, where the plate itself is not to be renewed. Such welding hours would include grinding out the crack on one or both sides of the plate, in order to properly prepare it for welding, drilling a hole at each end of the crack to stop propagation thereof; making the weld repair, and grinding the finished weld on one or both sides to blend with the adjacent plate surface(s), performing surface preparation, priming and painting, clean-up, etc., etc., all as specified in subparagraphs 1.1.5(a) and 1.1.5(b) of the solicitation. Costs for ALL labor, material, appliances, etc., Is specified for each item, whether Lump Sum or Unit Price;

and the Offerors shall estimate, prepare, and submit their prices accordingly.

8. For those items not quantified or specified will a Unit Price or a NSP (No Specifications Price) be acceptable.

Answer: Unit prices are only acceptable for the Unit Price items on the Bid Schedule for which the U/M (Unit of Measure) is Lbs., Hours, LF, or some other variable, but specifications, quantity. For all Lump Sum bid items (those for which the U/M is "Job"), the only acceptable response is a Lump Sum dollar amount. Any other responses or notations on the Bid Schedule will cause the entire bid to be rejected as non-responsive.

9. Per section 1.1.13, (a) the contract states that we will have 180 days to complete the job, but the dates show as to availability add up to only 60 days. The available dates are July 1 through July 24; then again on September 22 through October 29. This appears to be only 60 days for the work to be performed, is that the case?

Answer: The correct total performance period is 180 calendar days with 120 calendar days for that the vessel will be available for the contractor to perform the repairs minus days to mob and de-mob. The boat will be made available as soon as the contract is awarded and the first performance period work must be completed by July 24th, 2009. The boat will be made available again on or about September 22nd , 2009 for approximately 96 days making the end of the performance period on or about December 27th , 2009.
