Clear Radar Upgrade Industry Week Meeting Minutes
8-10 April 1997
- The Clear Radar Upgrade (CRU) Industry Week commenced at
1200 on 8 April 1997 at Bldg 370, Robins AFB, GA. Lt Chris Biegun,
ESC/TN-3 CRU Project Leader, welcomed the industry and Government
attendees (Attachment 1) and gave an overview of the agenda (Attachment
2). Lt Col Gerry Kuchinsky, AFSPC/DRCS Command lead for CRU,
presented an overview of the CRU program and objectives (Attachment
3). The last activity of the afternoon was a tour of the PAVE
PAWS site located on Robins AFB.
- On 9 April 1997 the industry meeting reconvened at the Museum
of Aviation located outside Robins AFB. The purpose of this portion
of the meeting was for Industry and the Government to review the
draft CRU Request for Proposal (RFP) available on Hanscom Electronic
RFP Bulletin Board (HERBB) and to provide an opportunity to answer
any questions on the part of industry. All questions asked during
the meeting and the responses will be available on HERBB. Please
note that answers are subject to change.
- Mr. Jack Tyrrell, SenCom, began the review with a presentation
of the CRU Government risk matrix. The risk matrix lists the
CRU Program risks assessed by the Government. A modified version
of the matrix will be incorporated in the RFP as an attachment
to the Instructions for Proposal Preparation (IFPP). Ms. Patricia
Opheen, COEPA-PM-M, presented the Corps of Engineers (COEs) comments
to the risk matrix. The COE comments will be reflected in the
next version of the risk matrix that will be posted on HERBB.
- Mr. Robert Powell, SenCom, presented the Statement of Objectives
(SOO). The SOO expresses the basic, top-level objectives of the
CRU acquisition. In accordance with acquisition reform initiatives,
the SOO is provided in the RFP in-lieu of a Government-written
Statement of Work (SOW). Mr. Powell stated that the Government
will not be requiring the offerors to provided a SOW for
the design and construction CLINs, but only for the system integration
portion of the proposal.
- Lt Biegun, presented Section M of the RFP, Evaluation Factors
for Award. This document contains the evaluation factors that
form the basis for evaluation of the offerors proposal.
- Mr. Powell briefed the Instructions for Proposal Preparation
that will be contained in Section L of the RFP.
- Mr. Tyrrell presented the CRU Systems Integration Technical
Requirements Document (TRD).
- Lt. Biegun presented the CRU Award Fee Plan.
- Lt Biegun reviewed the CRU Government Furnished Property List
(GFP). The GFP list is composed of all the Government Furnished
Equipment (GFE) and Government Furnished Information (GFI) that
will be available on the CRU contract.
- On 10 April 1997 the RFP review meeting reconvened at the
Museum of Aviation. Government and industry continued the RFP
review.
- Ms. Opheen started the morning with an overview of the facilities
requirements. Ms. Opheen addressed comments and questions to
the Facilities TRD and Special Contract Requirements (SCRs) that
were provided by industry. Industry was primarily concerned about
how to discriminate between the minimum requirements in the documents
as opposed to what items were just design recommendations (and
not requirements). The facilities portion of the RFP was scheduled
for a detailed review following the industry meetings so therefore
discussion was deferred until the next update of the design package.
- Ms. Themoula Poirier, contracting officer for ESC/TNK, presented
Section A-K of the model contract.
- Ms. Susan Wojewuczki, SenCom, discussed the Contract Data
Requirements List (CDRL). A draft CDRL list is available for
the systems integration portion. The facilities design and construction
submittals are contained in the Facilities TRD and SCRs. An integrated
CDRL containing the facilities design and construction and the
systems integration data items will developed for the next update
of the CDRL.
- The Industry Week activities adjourned at 1300 on 10 April
1997. The Government elected not to develop the evaluation standards
with industry. The evaluation standards will be developed and
will be available for review and comments by industry on HERBB.
Lt Biegun thanked all participants for the helping to make the
CRU Industry Week a success and encouraged industry to continue
to submit comments to the RFP package. The next draft of the
CRU RFP is scheduled for release on HERBB on or about 7 May 1997.
Any comments on these meeting minutes or future correspondence
should be directed to Ms. Poirier or Ms. Alloria Harris at the
ESC Contracting Office.
