**[ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS]{.underline}**

RFQ13-SSC-Q-02-46

**Geodetic Targets**

**Q1.** The Statement of Work (SOW) includes the language "Targets
closely matching the design of the current targets are required." We
interpret this to mean that the design must meet the requirements listed
in Section B. 3.2 of the SOW and match the current geodetic target
design's appearance, positioning capability, and durability rather than
every detail of the design shown in 9SC-0001-M975, 9SC-0001-M976,
9SC-0001-M977, 9SC-0001-M980, 9SC-0001-M981, 9SC-0001-M982, and
9SC-0001-M983.

Is our interpretation correct?

**A1**. Targets matching the design drawings provided are preferred,
with the exception of elimination of the red circle in the center.
However, the requirements outlined in section B. 3.2 are the ultimate
performance requirements.

**Q2.** Does the Government wish to review and comment on, or approve,
our shop drawings, material selections, and any associated design
calculations prior to our beginning fabrication? This could have a
significant impact on our delivery schedule (Question 4.). If so:

a.  Where would the Government wish the review to take place?

b.  When would the Government wish to hold the review (days after
    award)?

**A2.** Although it is not required, the Government would appreciate the
opportunity to review and comment on shop drawings, material selections,
and any associated design calculations prior to fabrication. The
Government would be willing to provide the review in accordance with the
contractor's schedule. ( i.e., the Government would provide feedback per
the contractor's timeline so as not to impact schedule).

**Q3.** Do you prefer international or imperial units for the detailed
design?

**A3.** No preference, either set of units is acceptable.

**Q4.** We understand the delivery schedule as follows:

> 1 prototype target within 30 days after award
>
> 21 additional targets within 40 days after award
>
> 23 additional targets within 60 days after award

We are concerned about the very short time period available between
delivery of the prototype and the next 21 units.

a.  Will we be required to wait until Government approval of our
    prototype unit to order materials or begin production of the
    remaining 21 units in the first delivery?

b.  If so, how much of the 10 days should be allocated to the approval
    process?

When will the Government actually accept the panels as delivered by
inspection upon completion at our facility (with shipping at our expense
after inspection), upon arrival at the Stennis Space Center, or after
inspection at the Stennis Space Center? If delivery will be complete
only after inspection at the Stennis Space Center, how many days shall
we allow for the inspection process as a part of meeting our delivery
requirement.

RFQ13-SSC-Q-02-46

**A4**. The contractor's interpretation of the delivery schedule is
correct. As stated in the RFQ, the contractor may propose a delivery
schedule that must not extend the delivery period beyond the time for
delivery in the Government\'s required delivery schedule.

a.  The contractor is not required to await the Government's approval of
    the prototype target before procuring materials. The intent of the
    prototype target is to familiarize the Government with the target
    design prior to receiving and installing a large number of them.

b.  N/A

c.  All targets shall be subject to inspection and acceptance at the
    Government\'s facility within a reasonable

> time after delivery.

**Q5.** May we submit our proposal electronically (i.e., via fax or
email)?

**A5.** Yes. The Federal Acquisition Regulation Clause 52.214-31,
Facsimile Bids (Dec 1989) which authorizes the submission of facsimile
bids is hereby incorporated by reference.

**Q6.** Do you wish any technical information (e.g., materials
selections, design details) to be submitted as a part of our proposal?

**A6.** Technical information is not required as part of the RFQ, but
can be provided if the contractor determines it would be in the firm\'s
best interest to do so.

**Q7.** Will the Government provide us with electronic notification of
award?

**A7.** An award notice will be placed on the NAIS and FEDBIZOPS.

**Q8.** What is the planned or expected schedule for award?

**A8.** Award of an order is anticipated to be accomplished within seven
(7) days after negotiations with the successful offeror.

**Q9.** What is the planned or expected schedule for exercise of the
various option quantities?

**A9.** The option(s) is/are anticipated to be exercised at the time of
contract award.

**Q10.** Typical methods of joining panels of this type include the use
of threaded fasteners, rivets, adhesives and double-faced high strength
tapes. Does the Government have a preferred attachment methodology or
specification for the "permanent" side of the tab attachment?

**A10.** The Government has no preferred attachment methodology. Method
used in previously procured targets is glue. The method used must insure
that target attachment/backing support is permanently attached.

RFQ13-SSC-Q-02-46

Page 4 of 4

**Q11.** We respectfully suggest that the requirement to remove and
store the panels is not well defined as it does not include:

a.  The number of panels to be removed and stored

b.  The travel time between panel removal locations

c.  The equipment (e.g., size truck, hand tools) each team will have
    available

> We suggest rewording the requirement to say "Each assembly of two (2)
> half-target panels shall be able to be disassembled and removed from
> the frame in 15 minutes or less by a two man crew equipped with basic
> hand tools (e.g., socket set, wrench set, screwdriver set)."

**A11.** This requirement is based on that used for the development of
the existing 45 targets currently at NASA/John C. Stennis Space Center
in Mississippi.

d.  The requirement applies to 45 targets.

e.  The targets will be within a 25 square mile area with up to 15
    minutes travel time between targets.

> f\. The 2-man crew will be equipped with basic tools for the
> dismantling of targets.

**Q12.** Please provide more information how the Supports are attached
to the Target.  If possible, indicate on the blue print.

**A12.** The target is attached to the frame by using stainless steel
bolts. The bolt holes are drilled when the target is installed on the
target frame. These bolts are installed by NASA technical support
contractor employees. The target frame is supported by steel rods and
held by tightening rings with allen screws. A picture of the attachment
is shown in the accompanying jpeg image.
