- Description
- The purpose of this modification is to provide industry submitted questions and Government answers. Q1. See Paragraph 3.3.10.1 and Appendix A of the Performance Spec. Appendix A indicates that the C15 ET trainer must simulate the following malfunctions under the heading Perform Maintenance on the Engine Lubrication System: 1) Diagnose the cause of excessive oil consumption, 2) Diagnose the cause of low oil pressure, 3) Diagnose malfunctions in the oil pressure indicating system. Paragraph 3.3.10.1 does not list these failures. Is the C15 ET trainer to simulate these three faults or not? If so, what specific faults that would cause these symptoms does the Government want the C-15 trainer to simulate? A1. All the training tasks (including malfunctions) identified in Appendix A of the performance specification shall be provided/performed using the C15 Engine/Transmission trainer. The government is still evaluating/determining the specific faults that will be simulated for each type of malfunction. Q2. See Paragraph 3.3.10.1 and Appendix A of the Performance Spec. Appendix A indicates that the C15 ET trainer must simulate the following malfunction under the heading Perform maintenance on battery system: 1) Diagnose a faulty battery system. Is the C15 ET trainer to simulate this fault or not? If so what specific fault that would cause this symptom does the Government want the C-15 trainer to simulate (for example dead battery, shorted cell, faulty alternator)? A2. See response to 1 above. Q3. See Paragraph 3.3.10.1, Cylinder Fault. Specifically, what type of fault does the Government want to simulate as a cylinder fault ( low compression, blown cylinder, connecting rod, etc.)? A3. See response to 1 above. Q4. What type of LVSR technical documentation will be supplied as GFI during the RFP stage and after contract award? Will -10, -20, -24, -34, etc. technical manuals be supplied. Dimensioned drawings engine/ transmission compartment, driver's cab, etc. A4. Technical documentation for the engine and transmission components will not be provided during the RFP stage by the government. Drawings for the GFP will not be provided by the government at any stage of the acquisition. The government may provide the Operator and Maintenance manual for the LVSR, or applicable parts of the manuals related to the engine and transmission, to the winner of the contract. VADS documentation will be provided to the winner of the contract. Q5. Before or after contract award, will the competitors have access to a LVSR to take measurements, pictures, etc.? Will there be an industry day to do this? A5. The government intent is to provide access to an LVSR C15 engine and allison transmission before contract award for interested parties. The date and location is still to be determined. In addition, after contract award the LVSR engine/transmission will be available for access by the contract winner at a government designated location, if needed. In both cases the components will very likely be mounted in the vehicle. Q6. Does the Marine Corps have a budget for this effort that they can share with the competitors? A6. The budgetary information will not be shared with industry.
