SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTION & ANSWER

Q1. For this solicitation we are to provide a single/grand total for completing all LHE Inspections?

A1. No. Provide a resume of qualifications/experience of personnel and past performance. Reference 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES in the solicitation.

Q2. In the solicitation it was not mentioned of any load testing requirements. So doe is the USACE not requiring these inspections to include load testing or is load testing to be completed as required per standard/regulations deem?

A2. Load testing will be completed by USACE personnel and is only required in the following instances:

a) Initially after a load bearing or load controlling park or component, brake, travel component, or clutch has been altered, replaced, or repaired

b) Every time a crane or hoisting equipment is reconfigured or reassembled

c) Or when the manufacturer requires a load test to be performed (found in the operators manual of specific LHE).

LHE inspectors will have full access to any records of load testing and are welcome to be onsite while it is occurring but it will be USACE responsibility to actually perform the load test.

Q3. Is providing training to the USACE on equipment of any form a part of this solicitation?

A3. No. It is for inspection of LHE equipment only.

Q4. Clarify paragraph 2. Ordering in the scope of work. It is understood the contractor completing the LHE inspection cannot be the contractor that performs the repairs that are potentially found during the inspection. As well the contractor completing the repairs cannot be the contractor to complete the post repair inspection/certification. If this is correct who is responsible for the cost and scheduling of the contractor completing the repair/inspection that cannot be complete by the contractor awarded the initial repair/inspection in either scenario?

A4. USACE will be responsible for scheduling all repairs and subsequent inspections as needed.

The following have been modified:
