Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to contractor questions regarding ferry logistics, emergency response, and generator specifications for the National Park Service (NPS) opportunity.

• Ferry Access: Contractors are responsible for all ferry costs and logistics. The Miller Ferry (mblinfo@millerferry.com, 419-285-2421 / 800-500-2421) can provide specifics on what they transport.
• Emergency Response: This is a service contract for annual general maintenance. There is no on-call or emergency response capability required. For unscheduled repairs, contractors must contact the park's point of contact for approval and quotes.
• Winter Season Power Outages: If island power is lost, generators are expected to function. If they fail due to improper servicing, the contractor is responsible for repairs. The contractor may be the first point of contact for the park if generators malfunction.
• Generator Specifications: The document does not specify the "KW Node" for the Cummins generators.
• Maintenance Schedule: Inspections, annual certification, preventative maintenance, and load bank testing are to occur once a year, specifically in August.

This clarification confirms that ferry costs are the contractor's responsibility and that no emergency response is required. It also specifies the annual maintenance schedule. The KW Node for generators is not provided.
