- Modification 1 - Questions and Answers to the RFP: This is a modification to incorporate the answers to questions submitted to the RFP. All questions and answers are listed below: Questions Regarding RFP Number: HSHQDC-09-R-00081 1. Section II on page 1 of the SOW describes two scenarios for standoff radiation detection. In both scenarios, the detection systems are only required to monitor one side of the screening vessel. Is it necessary or desirable for the system to monitor both sides of the screening vessel simultaneously? A: DNDO will consider systems that monitor either one or both sides of the screening vessel. Systems that monitor both sides are preferable for operational flexibility 2. Section III on page 3 of the SOW states that “the contractor shall ship two examples of each radiation detection system selected for participation in the laboratory evaluation to Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)”. What is the expected lead time for delivery of the two systems? A: It is anticipated that BPAs will be issued the week of 17 July 09 and must be delivered to ORNL by 27 July 09 to participate in testing tentatively scheduled 3 August to 4 September 09. 3. Section IV on page 3 of the SOW states that “Each of the detection system components should weigh less than 50 pounds and the total system (combined components) should fit within a deck foot print of 9 square feet”. Please clarify the meaning of “components” in this context. Can the delivered system consist of several components, with no weight limitation on the overall system? A: A detection module, operator interface, multi-channel analyzer, and computer would each be considered components, if separately packaged. The weight limit is applied to each component.. There is no limitation to the number of components or combined weight of the entire system provided it all fits into 9 square feet as specified. 4. Section 2.4.I of the RFP (page 8) states that “unless selected by DNDO for purchase, the equipment will be returned to the manufacturer, in the condition the equipment is in at the conclusion of the laboratory testing”. If selected for Phase III/Field Testing, will DNDO purchase the equipment which was previously delivered to ORNL for Environmental and Characterization Testing? A: DNDO will not purchase systems prior to environmental and characterization testing. DNDO will pay for shipping and training of operator personnel at ORNL. If a system is selected for participation in field testing it will be procured. The system will either be the system that participated in the environmental testing or the same model/version shipped from the vendor. DNDO will specify which system is to be purchased in the delivery order. 5. Section IV on page 3 of the SOW states “DNDO seeks two classes of radiation detection systems for this application. Both classes of radiation detectors must be useable on a small vessel defined as approximately twenty-five (25) feet in length, similar to the type used by law enforcement patrols at harbors.” Can DNDO provide more information on the likely mounting method and location of radiation-detection equipment on the screening vessel, for both portable and integrated classes of systems? A: The portable class intended operational use is to be hand-carried onto a boat, secured and connected to power etc. prior to each use. Mounting brackets and other interface fixtures such as 12VDC power connectors may be permanently installed on the boat to improve the safety and security of the mount and to reduce the time required to install for each mission. The integrated class intended operational use is to be installed on the boat in a permanent fashion and hard wired into the boat’s 12VDC power system. Cable runs needed for display and control equipment will also be permanently installed. 6. Table 2 on page 13 of the RFP requests information on the system power supply requirements if connected to an external source. Can DNDO provide the available voltage, type (AC or DC), and current of the vessel power supply? A. For the purposes of the field test event DNDO intends to use the 12 VDC power system currently installed on the test boats. At this time DNDO does not have specific information on current limits for each boat. The manufacturer should provide the power and voltage requirements for their systems and DNDO will ensure that clean power of the needed type (DC or AC), voltage, and current are available. Systems that can operate solely from 12VDC are preferred. During field testing DNDO can provide 120VAC if needed for systems selected for field testing
