This document provides clarification on specific questions related to the solicitation, identified by "DOUGLAS DENMAN QUESTIONS" and reference number "70Z08026QPBPL0028".

• Work Item 3, Table 1, Item 10 vs. Paragraph 3.3.x: A question was raised regarding the direction to "inspect and preserve" void 3-0-0-V in Work Item 3, Table 1, Item 10, versus the association of preservation with an approved Change Request in paragraphs 3.3.x.
  • Answer: Table 1 directs the inspection and preservation of void 3-0-0-V. Vendors are instructed to include the inspection and preservation requirements for this void in their quotes for that work item.
• Conditional Repairs for Void 3-0-0-V: Clarification was sought on the process if repairs are needed for void 3-0-0-V.
