Is that correct? Yes, this can be done in one mobilization. Yes, I would plan on 4 days. I assume transportation between the TSMRI and LPW Marine Station will be provided by NOAA, however we would be responsible for transportation to/from TSMRI. Is that correct? I also assume there’s 1 travel day to and from LPW. Also correct? No, NOAA will not be arranging any transportation to either site. Travel time to LPW from Juneau is about 1hr. One possible LPW travel schedule is: fly early on day 1, complete work, and return late on day 2. I assume the previous SPCC plans will be provided in an editable format (i.e. word, PPT, etc.) and the figures will be available in an editable format (i.e. Auto CAD). The only copies of the current plan provided will be in PDF. While the text in Section 7.2 of the SOW references hard copies the table only indicates electronic versions and three CDs. Am I correct in assuming no hard copies will be needed? And are CDs preferred or flash drives? No, at least one hard copy will be needed for each site. CD would be preferable.****************************** This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for services in which the government intends to acquire in accordance with FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisitions Procedures.
