2nd SITE VISIT

A 2nd site visit will be conducted onboard the T.S. KENNEDY 9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, January 7, 2020 at 101 Academy Drive, Buzzards Bay, MA 02532.  POC: Jeff Brown, Marine Surveyor, USDOT- Maritime Administration (MARAD), Division of Atlantic Operations-New England Office; phone (757) 694-5505; e-mail:  Jeffrey.H.Brown@dot.gov.   All potential offerors intending to submit an offer should plan to attend site visit.  In order to make the site visit as productive as possible, offerors are also requested to submit any questions from the review of the solicitation package or as a result of site visit, should be submitted in writing via e-mail to the Contracting Officer, monique.leake@dot.gov  no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday, January 10, 2020 with the solicitation number 6933A220Q000005 in the subject line.  Responses to questions will be issued by amendment to the solicitation package.

Failure of a prospective offeror to submit any questions or to attend the site visit will be construed to mean that the offeror fully understands all requirements of the solicitation. Prospective offerors are advised that the site visit will be held solely to allow offerors an opportunity to gain the best possible understanding of the working environment and specific work items to be addressed under contract in order that they may prepare an accurate and complete price quote. All prospective offerors are advised that at the conclusion of the site visit, unless this solicitation is amended in writing, it will remain unchanged and, that if an Amendment is issued, normal procedures relating to the acknowledgment and receipt of any such amendment shall be applicable.

 Quoters are strongly encouraged to attend, as failure to attend does not relieve the quoter of accuracy of their proposal and the quoter's responsibility that it has investigated and satisfied itself as to the general and local conditions which can affect the work or its cost. 

The complete solicitation package with the Statement of work will be posted on or about December 06, 2020.  The drawings referenced in the Statement of Work can be provided to interested contractors upon written request to the Contracting Officer.  Other documents and manuals referenced must be viewed aboard the ship during the site visit.

The Department of Transportation (DOT), Short-Term Lending Program (STLP) offers working capital financing in the form of lines of credit to finance accounts receivable for transportation related contracts. Maximum line of credit is $750,000 with interest at the prime rate, as published daily in the Wall Street Journal, plus 1.75 percent.
