How does your company feel about this pricing approach? What are your concerns and challenges with this? The Government is contemplating how to handle emergency dredging needs, and possibly including options for emergency dredging in nearby geographic locations, with a Not to Exceed (NTE) line item quantity; what are your concerns with this approach? And how would you price these unknown requirements competitively? The Government recognizes the need to maximize production during dredging episodes, to achieve better economy, efficiency, and pricing. What are your recommendations to help achieve this outcome? How would removing paid over-depth impact productivity and pricing? Or is 1-foot of paid over-depth sufficient? RESULTS INFORMATION: Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Firms responding to this sources sought announcement, who fail to provide ALL of the required information requested, will not be used to help the Government make the acquisition decision, which is the intent of this sources sought announcement.
