55107 AMENDMENT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

70Z04026QSBPL0015 55107 RFC Q&A

Amendment

Question: So just to confirm the SOW states to renew the crane with GFE *if required*. Since there is no GFE, we will just be performing all the other items in the table (preservation, grooming, testing, etc.). As for the deck winch assemblies, it says to remove them, and that they are a mandatory turn-in item but that also stipulates the replacement is GFE. If there is no GFE, will we be removing the deck winch assemblies and just performing all the other items called out (NDE, preserve, renew rope assemblies, etc.)? Or are we to furnish brand new cross deck winch assemblies? Answer: Due to no GFE being provided, the Contractor will perform all other work outlined in the Specification minus the renewal of the Crane (i.e. preservation, grooming, testing, etc.). 

WORK ITEM 16: Buoy Handling Equipment, Renew
Paragraph 3.4 Buoy Handling Crane Renew: In the table, Item #4 calls out renewal of the buoy handling crane but says there will be GFP *if required*. Question: There is no GFP listed in Paragraph 1.2; Is this item required? Can the government clarify if GFP will be provided? ANSWER: GFP will not be provided.



WI 19 Decks Exterior Preserve
This work item describes the requirements for the Contractor to preserve the following exterior deck surfaces: Swim Platform, Port and Starboard Engine Room Hatches.
Question: The referenced drawing seems to reference the use of non-skid pads (and edge sealer) for all non-skid areas but the SPEC calls out for a broadcast grit system. Can we get clarification on whether non-skid pads are required? If not, what is the coarseness of non-skid to be applied? ANSWER: The KTR can follow the CG Drawing references with the use of non-skid pads (and edge sealer). However, the Government will not supply the non-skid pads (and edge sealer) as GFP.
