CST County Exercises Dated 5 April 2024 FINAL

1. SAM.gov has a note saying “Please Request Role: This opportunity has controlled attachments. You need a role to access them.” It is unclear what role (ie administrator, data entry, viewer) is required to access the controlled attachments, and the solicitation makes no reference to other documents. Are there actually controlled attachments or is everything contained in the W912J624R0002 SOLCITATION.pdf file?

There are no other attachments and everything that is needed to provide a proposal is already in the W912J624R0002 SOLCITATION.pdf file. Amendment in SAM.gov posted to incorporate changes and Q&A

2. Submission of quotes will be received through upload to Contracting Opportunities website at www.sam.gov.

1) Collapsed structure event to occur in Hawaii County (04Jun24) and Maui County (05Jun24). To my understanding you wanted to include Active Shooter. We normally run this in a 2 Phase section. Response to the active threat with law enforcement as the contact team to eliminate the threat and stop the killing in the hot zone, then a Rescue Task Force (RTF with 2 LEO / 4 Fire – EMS) to stop the dying in the warm zone. After that portion, they would find the HME device and evacuate to the cordon distance entering phase 2 of the device going off and USAR takes over for the building collapse. If you wanted CST involved / a Dirty bomb could be added.

These details will be determined at the County level once Contractor begins working with County and Agency representatives

2) Mass CBRN/trauma casualty triage and stabilization event to occur in Oahu

County (06Jun24). Did you want it to start the same way as the previous Active

Shooter Response then turn into a CBRN event?

3) Kauai County – 07Jun24 has no information.

There seems to be confusion by all parties regarding the exercise timeline revolving around the following sentence.

“Require comprehensive CBRN lanes to sustain training for two full CSTs (22 Soldiers/Airmen) per county” Please clarify to all solicitors that “per County” means “per island.” Worded differently, could say comprehensive CBRN lanes to sustain 2 full CSTs (22 PAX per CST) on 04Jun2024 (Hawaii County), 05Jun2024 (Maui County), 06Jun2024 (Honolulu County), and 07Jun2024 (Kauai County). Additionally, there is no CERFP role on 07Jun2024 in Kauai County.

4) Page 18 section 1.1.1 - Collapsed structure event to occur in Hawaii County (04Jun024) and Maui County (05Jun2024). Mass CBRN/trauma casualty triage and stabilization event to occur in Oahu County (06Jun2024). What is scheduled for Kauai County on 07Jun2024?

Additionally, there is no CERFP role on 07Jun2024 in Kauai County.

5) Page 29 Section 5.1.1.2 "Contractor will facilitate and coordinate US approved radiological hazards in accordance with CFR requirements.
