QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1. The contract refers to a price "schedule" and "optional" items. It there really a price schedule pdf file that I should have?

A1. There are no optional items in this Contract. The bid schedule is now included in the posting on fbo.gov

Q2. Are any of the jobs listed "optional"? Or is this bid just one lump sum price for all work listed in the SOW?

A2. There is more than one bid item. Refer to answer A1.

Q3. What is the total length of the anchor chain? Contract calls out to use 75% of that length to calculate the required depth of water to do the retrieval test.

A3. The total length of anchor chain is 360 ft. However, the text of Paragraph C900 D has been revised to require testing in a minimum of 80 ft of water, and gives one approximate location where that water depth can be found.

Q4a. It is understood that a bidder is allowed to propose performing the work at his/her own facility.

We would like to propose that be the case. Due to the efficiency of performing the work at our facility

vs. the Tug's Berth, we would be able to, I feel, offer a much more competitive price.

Q4b. (In reference to SP-12) If we were to price this work at the USACE site, we would have to rent a crane, a man lift and a work platform. We would also charge off site rates to include per diems and mobilization costs. These costs will be much higher than the costs of potable water, electrical hook ups and garbage disposal. Can this section of the spec be excluded or would you like me to price accordingly?

A4. Neither SP-12 nor any other provisions preclude bidders from submitting proposals based on performing the work at a location other than the USACE dock. However, bidders must indicate where they propose to perform the work, and transportation costs will be factored into the evaluation of bids in accordance with SP-15.

Q5. The aforementioned statement brings me to the following; I think hauling the vessel would further increase productivity. Based on the amount of welding and fabricating on the external hull, along with the extent of fendering modifications, there would be a significant cost advantage to be able to perform the work from the ground. It would be a major feat I feel to accomplish all of this work from a float at berth. Furthermore, the lower fender that is requiring to be modified is currently under the waterline.

A5. Hauling the vessel out of the water to perform the work would be at the discretion of the Contractor. No separate payment provision is made for this in the solicitation, so the costs of such work should be included in the other bid costs as appropriate.

Q6. It is understood all work must be completed NLT May 22nd 2017, but do you have a projected date of award?

A6. Award is anticipated by 24 MAR 2017.

Q7: What is the manufacturer of the existing chain locker manhole:

A7: Unknown

Q8: Will power tooling and touch up for paint be acceptable for the relocation of the fenders?

A8: Yes, if acceptable to the paint manufacturer. All components of the paint system must be provided in accordance with the specifications.

Q9: I do not see any mention of ABS inspections. If this is required, it will be on the owners account.

A9: Any required ABS inspections will be paid separately by the government.

Q1. The contract refers to a price "schedule" and "optional" items. It there really a price schedule pdf file that I should have?

A1. There are no optional items in this Contract. The bid schedule is now included in the posting on fbo.gov

Q2. Are any of the jobs listed "optional"? Or is this bid just one lump sum price for all work listed in the SOW?

A2. There is more than one bid item. Refer to answer A1.

Q9: I do not see any mention of ABS inspections. If this is required, it will be on the owners account.

A9: Any required ABS inspections will be paid separately by the government.

Q10. The SOW is unclear as to what to do to overhaul the capstan. I am currently working Markey Machinery to get a quote but I'm finding it is impossible to get a competitive firm fixed price on the overhaul at this point just because we are not able to predict the extent of the repairs necessary until it is first disassemble and inspected.

A10. Additional language has been added to clarify the extent of the work for the capstan overhaul to be included in the bid. It is recognized that the full extent of required repairs may not be known until it is inspected. The cost and schedule for any additional work identified during the inspection will be addressed by a negotiated contract modification.
