Fuel for this effort is provided by the government.Question 3. Will defuel of aircraft commence immediately following leak check inspection?Answer 3.

Reference Statement of Work, Section 2:In regards to contract pricing, do materials to be included in hourly rate includesealant, o-rings, hi-locks, nuts, washers, alodine, primer, etc. and expendable itemssuch as rags, brushes, acetone, etc. to be utilized during the repair cycle? Answer 6. Labor rate shall be fully burdened and shall include any travel and lodgingcosts, if applicable. Materials pricing should be handled separately from labor once therepairs are defined and all associated required materials defined.Question 7. Considering the short period of execution for the work, what happens if weget in to thetanks and they require substantial repair? Answer 7. At this time, the Government is requesting a firm fixed price for theinspection portion of the tanks only. We realize that it would be extremely difficult to provide a FFP forthe repair until the inspection has been completed, therefore, we are only asking for thehourly labor rate that would be charged for the repair. After the successful offeror hascompleted the inspection and provided the inspection report, the Government will thenrequest the contractor to provide a FFP for the repair using the hourly labor ratequoted in the solicitation and knowing the extent of the repair needed and thematerials required. At that point the Government will determine if it is cost effective,or feasible, to exercise the option to repair the tank or to pursue other action.The due date for receipt of offers is not extended.Companies shall provide the information stated in the synopsis/RFQ posted on the NASAAcquisition Internet Service (NAIS) on 1/13/2011.
