Portions of this solicitation are altered as follows:

Q&A 15FEB24

Q: Can role players stay inside building 706 Round Road (NJ Army National Guard ) as a RLP holding area?

A: We do not have building 706 reserved at this time. We can check availability.

Q: Can role players use the same latrine (Mr. BOB) that are placed for NY-NG?

A: They cannot. As we have fiscal limitations and OSHA requirements to provide a certain ratio of latrines to servicemembers.

Q: Where is rubble pile located? Infront of hanger 1, or down to the right pass NJ Air NG building across the helicopter hanger (10) in an empty field? In the past around 2011, we staged all role players at building 551 across from USS Lakehurst and rubble pile was located across hanger one!

A: The rubble pile is adjacent to hanger 10. It is a fenced off area owned by NJ State Police “TF-1”.

Q: Is it possible to move the due date till Monday the 19th?

A: Not at this time.

Q: Page 36 table in 3rd column notes “…incumbent”. Can you provide us with incumbent name for such event and award $$?

A: The incumbent being referred to is the NIMS/ICS role player for the “Incident Commander” at Fort Dix, as well as the “Area Commander” at Camp Smith Training site located at Camp Smith Training Site, New York.

Q: Due to limited curing window, can FLSS (contractor) have permission to use those existing slabs at site and we will provide replacements?

A: Negative. The Rubble Pile is owned by NJ State Police and we have express instructions we cannot break any existing slabs of concrete and must bring our own.

Q: We'd also like to know if the 24 slabs are for this exercise or left for the next exercise?

5.3.1.1.2 The Structure Collapse Venues Simulator (SCVS) must be an adequate size and complexity to allow multiple training venues to occur simultaneously and meet industry, state and local safety standards (responsibility of the hosting State). SCVS must be sufficient to train personnel on tasks and in accordance with NFPA 1670: Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Search and Rescue Incidents.

5.3.1.1.10 Provide reset of lifting and Hauling prop with a minimum footprint of 40ft by 75ft with tactical rock or firm, packed gravel.

Site must have firm footing for maneuvering and spot shoring.

5.3.1.1.14 Provide reset of breaching and breaking prop with heavy debris to break precisely as directed with a minimum footprint of 60ft by 60ft. Site must have tactical rock or firm gravel and must have good drainage.

A: The 24 slabs are to be utilized for this training exercise. The SCVS is already built, the requirement is for the concrete slabs as we cannot break existing concrete in agreement with NJ State Police as the sites owners.
