- Description
- The purpose for amendment no. 2 is to respond to the following questions: 2.� Question:� Under this contract vehicle is it okay for foreign nationals to be working on the project? ��Our company is a global company some of the industry analysts will be from the UK, Canada, India and Saudi Arabia. Project management will be led by myself in San Antonio. I have not been able to find anything (U.S. Code / FAR) that would specifically preclude non USPERs who are employees of our company from working on this contract. Response: The principal investigator must be a U.S. company.� 3.� Question:� Our company has a UEI ABCDEFGHIJKL and several NIACs in the 541xxx series related to scientific, markets, and consulting are their other NAICS (541690) codes besides that we could use? Response:� NAICS Code 541690 is the only NAICS code that should be used under RFP Solicitation No. 693JF723R000003. �4.� Question:� Final question, for port bunkering in LMR and the gulf coast you�re only concerned with port operations (bunkering etc.) that pertain to these vessels? Response: As far as bunkering, the goal of this project is to create a very clear picture of the bunkering methods, the bunkering fuel, the bunkering frequency and location (incl. port infrastructure) that pertain to OSVs and Tug/Tow boats. To be noted that the study will consider offshore bunkering operations (not in port/terminal) as well if such operation is part of ship�s operation profile. 5.� Question:� We are interested in submitting a proposal for the GoM OSV RFP. Is there a rubric by which the proposals will be evaluated that you are able to share? Response:� A successful applicant should clearly respond to the bullets in Section 2 and the Criteria Evaluation questions in Section D. ��� The purpose for this amendment is to correct page 4 under D.2: Content and Form of Application to read as follows:� Clear and accurate methodology for documenting the profile of the Gulf of Mexico OSVs and LMR tug/tow boat industry as well as port infrastructure and bunkering operations. The Maritime Administration�s (MARAD) Maritime Environmental and Technical Assistance (META) program is issuing this request for proposals (RFP) for conducting a feasibility study on the future energy options for offshore support vessels (OSV) operating in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and tug/tow boats operating on Lower Mississippi River (LMR). The study is intended to serve as a reference for vessel operators that are planning to consider alternative energy solutions for their existing or future fleet, technology developers including engine manufacturers, and relevant stakeholders such as repair/maintenance facilities.� For the LMR, which is navigable without locks and dams, the types of vessels to be examined shall include inland tug/tow boats only. Coastal or articulated tugs will not be part of this study.
