See "SRB Retrieval Ships" document in the "SRB Retrieval Ships" folder for a description of the drawings titles (posted on Sep 1, 2009). 9/29/2009 - Amendment 3 to the EGLS RFP has been released on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service (NAIS) website. Link to NAIS Solicitation. 9/23/2009 - Amendment 2 to the EGLS RFP has been released on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service (NAIS) website. Link to NAIS Solicitation. 9/18/2009 – Draft responses to industry questions/comments are provided below. The final responses will be included in Amendment 2, which is to be released next week. 1. Attachment J-08, EGLS OMEU Matrix: “In Attachment J-08 there are 256 blank pages after page 32 of the CxP Legacy Systems OMEU tab. Is this intentional or were there other pages that should have been included?” When we tried to print them out, it printed numbered pages after page 32 (until the printer was stopped), but the pages were all blank. Response: There are only 32 pages in Attachment J-08 OMEU, CxP Legacy Systems tab. The extra pages are the result of the Government not setting the print area in formulation of the OMEU CxP Legacy Systems tab correctly before release of the RFP. 2. Section L: We understand the use of full sentences in tables is unallowable; however, if the content is more appropriately displayed using a table, may we include full sentences using 12 point font? We assume the intent of not allowing full sentences in tables is to prevent the subversion of the intended use of smaller fonts in tables/figures. It seems using 12 point font in tables with sentences would not compromise the spirit and intent of the RFP regarding font size for text and figures. Response: The use of complete sentences in tables using 12 point font is acceptable. (Reference Amendment 2, Final RFP Industry Questions, page 9) 3. Attachment L-02, Cost Forms: Within the workbook on the vehicles tab, we notice that the GSA calculations don’t transfer anywhere. Should the values in column H be linked to the corresponding year if we elect to use GSA vehicles? Are columns I through R intended to capture GSA vehicle cost only? Response: No. The values in column H are not intended to link to the GFY columns. GSA Columns D through H were provided to aid in estimating purposes only. No. The offeror should ensure that columns I through R are capturing their total proposed cost for all vehicles, GSA and other, by vehicle type and WBS. 4. Attachment L-06, Standardized Values: The revised Attachment L-06, Standardized Values, shows funds for PWS 8.2.5 in CLIN 6… however, our understanding is that PWS 8.2.5 is in CLIN 5. Should the CLIN 6 entry be PWS 8.1.5, or should the entry be re-coded as CLIN 5? Response: The CLIN 6 entry should be PWS 8.1.5. RFP Amendment 2 will correct the PWS reference. 5. Attachment L-08, Scenarios: Reference EGLS PWS 6.2.1, which requires the contractor to perform V&V activities for CxP systems consistent with CxP 400007. Reference RFP Section L Attachment L-08. Scenario 1 states: "During the test, the LH2 temperature at the interface of the ground system to the Upper Stage simulator does not meet the interface requirement". This seems to be in conflict with page 20 of CxP 400007, Ground Element Verification and Validation. In paragraph 5.1.2.4 it states that LN2 will be used with the ML at the pad during V&V and GEIT and that the actual flow of commodity (LH2) will not occur until Ares I-Y. If this is true and LN2 is used instead of LH2 for safety reasons, it would seem to be very risky to simulate potential LH2 leaks with only LN2 cold shocks. Should we assume that the actual commodity (LH2) will be used in this scenario and that our response should be based on using LH2? Response: Correct. LN2 will be used for component testing in the LETF and during cold shocks of the systems. LH2 will be used for the integrated system verification and validation. Your response in this scenario should be based on using LH2. The CxP 400007 document is still in draft form and will be revised in the future. RETRIEVAL SHIP TOUR: A retrieval ship tour is planned for Friday, September 25, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. Estimated completion time of the tour is 3:00 p.m. Tour attendance is limited to 2 individuals per offeror. Requests should be submitted to the Contracting Officer (email at tammy.s.burlein@nasa.gov) no later than Wednesday, September 23 at 4:00 p.m. Requests must contain attendee name, company name and address, phone number and email address, and must also include social security number, country of citizenship and date of birth, if badging is needed. 9/1/2009 - Amendment 1 to the EGLS RFP has been released on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service (NAIS) website.
