- Answers to questions posted to date are provided below: Questions and Answers on Solicitation HSCG23-06-R-DNQ140B Question: What is the total quantity of MLB platforms? The solicitation states the government will order at least half of the boat set for the MLB Answer: There are 117 Motor Lifeboats in our inventory. Question: In the Amendment on page 3 in the next to last paragraph it says "This control shall be combined into the same unit as that for 3.9.4. Please clarify what "3.9.4" is. Answer: The portable/remote unit shall be equipped with a momentary PTT switch to allow the operator to activate the microphone when the microphone mute function is activated. This control shall be readily accessible, such that there is no need for the operator to access the pocket of the survival vest to activate the PTT switch. ? Question: Please define "off the shelf product". Answer: Please see FAR Part 2.101 for the definition of a commercial item. Question: Is there a location on the internet where the appropriate paperwork can be downloaded or can it be faxed emailed or mailed? Answer: Please see the direction in the solicitation for submission of your proposal Question: Are all five crewmembers completely wireless or are any tethered with cables Answer: The specified Crew Communication System (CCS) should be a completely wireless system. The tether connects the coxswain position to the VHF-FM radios at the steering stations. Question: Is the coxswain one of the five wireless or is this headset hard-wired (with break-away connectors) into the intercom? Answer: The coxswain shall have the same wireless crew communications system as the other four crew members but also have the capability to connect to the VHF-FM radios via a break free tether. Question: How is the radio select (between the 2 identified radios) accomplished? Location? Method? Answer: We expect the vendor to provide the solution. Question: Can you provide clarification for the Steering Station? What is the steering station? Answer: The 47FT MLB has four steering stations?two each on the open bridge and enclosed bridge. Steering Stations are the location on the MLB from which we steer the boat. Question: If the steering station needs a breakaway connector and length of the cable connection shall be sufficient to allow the operator to use either steering station on the open bridge, how is it wireless? Answer: The breakaway tether is only intended for VHF-FM radio connectivity. The crew communications system is wireless. Question: Are all references to the steering station in the open bridge? Answer: No. The 47ft MLB has two steering stations on the open bridge and two in the enclosed bridge Question: Are any handheld radios used in the configuration? Answer: No. Question: Is the 120VAC charger off the vessel? It seems to have no environmental constraints thus must not be on the vessel. Answer: The 120VAC charger is for off vessel use only. THE DEADLINE FOR ALL QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THIS SOLICIATION IS COB 17 MAY 2006. END OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
