Responses to clarification questions for NSWCDD RFI Solicitation Number N00178-12-Q-3901 Q1. On or about what date would you expect to begin using the facility? A1. Around Mar 1, 2012 Q2. The facility will be open to the public starting at 0800 but could be accessed by NSWC staff and instructors for set up and preparation prior to 0800 if needed. Will you require that the facility opens to the public (your participants) earlier than 0800? A2. Classes would start at 0800. Students would start arriving around 0730. Q3. May the facility allow other organizations and individuals to use these 12 classrooms when they are not being used by NSWC? A3. Yes Q4. The facility only has four (4) classrooms with seating for up to 32 personnel and not five (5) classrooms as requested. Will this limitation pose a problem? A4. No, it is not expected for NSWCDD to offer more than four classes simultaneously requiring seating for 30. The four simultaneous classes refer to the 30 person requirement. We may offer additional simultaneous classes with enrollments of less than 30. Q5. Please confirm/clarify that the request is for two classrooms, each with seating for 30 personnel with one classroom equipped with thirty (30) facility provided computers and the other classroom equipped with eight (8) facility provided computers. A5. This is correct for the two dedicated computer classrooms. Q6. Are you requesting one (1) printer in each of the twelve (12) classrooms or are you requesting (1) one printer only in each of the two (2) computer classrooms and the one (1) computer lab area? A6. One (1) printer in the two (2) computer classrooms and one (1) in the computer lab area will be required. A printer should only be in each of the two (2) computer classrooms and the one (1) computer lab. Printers in all classrooms are desirable but not required. Q7. There is sufficient space for a printer in the two computer classrooms and the computer lab area, if you are requesting printers in the other ten (10) classrooms, given their size, seating capacity and furnishings, there may not be sufficient space to provide an additional table and printer in some or all of the ten (10) classrooms. Would this limitation pose a problem? A7. No Q8. It is expected that NSWC would provide toner cartridges and paper for all classroom printers. Would this stipulation pose a problem? A8. It is expected the facility would provide toner cartridges and paper. A printer is required for each of the two (2) computer classrooms and the one (1) computer lab. Printers in all classrooms are desirable but not required. Q9. The facility will not be able to provide document cameras. Will this limitation pose a problem? A9. Document cameras will not be needed. Q10. How frequently (anticipated total number or percentage of days for the 50 week period of performance or anticipated number of days per week for each of the 50 weeks) do you expect to use the auditorium type area? A10. It is expected up to 30 days a year. Q11. What are the number and type of typical/representative events that you expect to hold in this area? What number or percentage of events is: less than one (1) day long? At least one (1) day long? Two (2) days long? Three (3) or more days long? What is the typical/representative room set up configurations required for these events? What is the typical/representative IT/AV equipment needed to support events in this area? A11. There is not sufficient data to answer this question at this time. Q12. May the facility allow other organizations and individuals to use the auditorium type area when it is not being used by NSWC? A12. Yes Q13. What is your expected use of the computer lab area? A13. Space is needed for students to log into online courses and to complete coursework. Q14. Will you require a printer and a document camera in the computer lab area? (Note that document cameras will not be provided.) A14. A printer will be required in the computer lab area for students to print study materials. A document camera will not be necessary. Q15. May the facility allow other organizations and individuals to use the computer lab area when it is not being used by NSWC? A15. Yes Q16.

Computer requirements are the minimum requirement for classrooms. Office spaces may differ slightly. Q18. The computer classrooms and computer lab area will be equipped with laptop and desktop computers that meet the facility s hardware and software standards but we believe that the equipment and software can be modified to meet most of the listed requirements. Will NSWC personnel be able to work with facility personnel to assure that all computers meet NSWC s requirements? A18. Yes Q19. Will NSWC compensate the facility for the cost difference between the facility s planned hardware/software standards and NSWC s required hardware/software configuration? If yes, can the facility include that additional cost in the base year lease/rental cost? A19. The white paper should address how the facility will meet NSWC s requirement. If fulfillment of this requirement will increase the cost estimate then the facility should account for that cost in their cost estimate. Q20. The facility s standard rental/lease agreement and cost for the use of dedicated spaces/offices does not include a computer and printer for each space/office. A20. It is expected that the facility would provide the computer and printer for each space/office. The white paper should address how the facility will meet this requirement. Q21. Will NSWC either provide government computer equipment for the technical/support personnel? A21. It is expected that the facility would provide computer equipment for the technical/support personnel.

The facility will not have a full size refrigerator or an area appropriate for food preparation other than heating microwavable items. Will these limitations pose a problem? A23. No Q24. A coffee mess could be set up and maintained in the first floor lounge area and it is expected that NSWC personnel would provide all necessary equipment and coffee mess supplies. Would this stipulation pose a problem? A24. It is expected that the facility will provide a coffee mess or means to obtain coffee. Q25. The historical data indicates that the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) plans to offer twenty eight (28) weeks of training for NSWC during FY12. Do you expect that DAU you will increase the number of weeks of training? A25. It is possible. Q26. Do you expect that NSWC will offer courses, programs or events conducted by government entities, public and/or private in state and out of state educational institutions (e.g., Naval Postgraduate School, the Naval War College, Rappahannock Community College or the College of Southern Maryland) or private training providers (firms or consultants)? If so, can you provide anticipated usage data? A26. It is possible. It is expected the Naval War College will present a class each Tuesday evening from 1700-2000 during the Fall and Spring academic semesters. Q27. As a public university, how should we measure company size status? Can we provide you with the dollar value of our total operating budget? The number of employees? Both of these indicators? Or some other indicator of company size? A27. Universities along with all other possible vendors that work with the Federal Government are required to be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). The website is https://www.bpn.gov/ccr/. Please consult this website to determine if your organization is registered. This website shows the business size determination for organizations that are registered by NAICS code. NSWCDD does not make determination regarding company size. Q28.
