SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0002

a. The purpose of this amendment is to answer the questions from offerors as shown below:

Questions 1: We believe that a transportation charge should be applied per each truck utilized for the contract transportation because of the following reasons.:

The PWS states "Freight" and "Shipment" as follows.

2.1.15. Freight: Property ordered by the US Government to be transported, in accordance with (IAW) this contract.

2.1.23. Shipment: The lot of freight offered for transportation from a consignor to consignee(s) under a single order pursuant to the rates stipulated in this contract. Computation of cost for movement on a single order is based on a shipment, disregarding the number of trucks utilized to complete the shipment, and is calculated in short-ton/miles.]

According to the above paragraphs, "The lot of freight" is a prerequisite for a "shipment". Accordingly, "The lot of freight" is a collection of freight to be transported.

And in accordance with the para 5.1.2.2.3.of the PWS, MCTs shall provide a contractor with number and type of vehicles including other information when ordering services. It is believed that, before ordering services of a contractor, ordering officer of MCT survey a type of "The lot of freight" to be transported, divide a "lot" of scheduled freights by number and type of vehicles, and order a contractor to spot its vehicles per divided freight at a loading point.

We think the statement, "...disregarding the number of trucks ..." of 2.1.23.Shipment means MCTs disregard the number of trucks utilized to complete the shipment when MCTs divide "The lot of freight" and determine the number of trucks.

In addition, since MCTs have the sole right to determine the numbers and types of trucks without any discussion with contractor, the contractors are not supposed to concern about such things. It means we have to provide as many vehicles as required by MCTs. As you well know, once a vehicle is provided for a cargo transportation, a basic expenses must be incurred no matter how it is big or not and it includes all necessary vehicle operation cost, such as driver's labor cost and other expenses required to support one truck operation.

Therefore, we believe that a transportation charge should be applied per each truck utilized for the subject contract transportation. Is it correct?

Answer 1: No. MCT process accordingly per CMR they received from their customers. If we proceed with what the contractor’s intended to do, we as the govt need to advise requiring activity to split requirement per shipment.

Question 2: "Shipment" is applied to only 'short-ton/miles' (over 20 miles), not short-ton/hours (less than 20 miles) according to the para 2.1.23. of the PWS defines. Is it correct?

Answer 2: Local Drayage is applied short-ton/hours (less than 20 miles) iaw “Payable Hour Table”

W91QVN23R0179

Shipment is applied short-ton/miles' (over 20 miles). Please refer the revised PWS, Attachment 2.

Question 3: How many companies will be awarded roughly?

Answer 3: It depends on Government determine how many companies are appropriate after bid closing.

Question 4: How orders will be allocated among the companies awarded? Is this the same type as general cargo(OMA) contract(W90VN923D0007)?

Answer 4: Please refer paragraph 5.1.3.3. in revised PWS, Attachment 2.

b. All other terms and conditions remain the same.
