Mitch,<br>
<br>
We have reviewed Hamamatsu's comments and have answered their questions
below as you requested. Hamamatsu requires the following minor changes
in order for them to bid on the SVT sensors.<br>
<br>
1) Increase of mask placement error by 1/2 of a micron. (1.5 to 2
microns).<br>
2) They can not drop ship to MSU (Russia) directly. <br>
3) After approval of 1st article sensor, increase production delivery
times by 6 weeks.<br>
4) At least one extra week before RFP close.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Peter<br>

Please respond to your parts as soon as you can. Send to me.

<font face="sans-serif" size="2">I have reviewed RFP# JSA-10-R28944 in
detail with our factory and I want JLabs to understand that Hamamatsu
is
interested in this opportunity and business. </font>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">However, there are several technical
and delivery requirements in the RFP that Hamamatsu can not meet and
these
items are considered non-negotiable by our side. The RFP instructions
state that the Terms and Conditions and technical specifications are
minimum
acceptable values and the failure to meet or assent to these
requirements
constitutes a deficiency. As a result, Hamamatsu must choose to "No
Bid" on this RFP unless JLabs can relax/modify the following
requirements.</font>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2"><b>1)</b> Technical Spec 5.6:
We can not guarantee mask placement error < 1.5u. The best
specification
we can offer is < 2u. This item was communicated to JLabs in the
fall of 2009 and is non-negotiable.</font>
<br>
<br>
Jefferson Lab modifies Specification B00000-01-01-S0001 Rev 6 - Silicon
Micro-Strip Sensors
for the Hall B
CLAS12 Silicon Vertex Tracker section 5.6. to < 2u (from the
previous < 1.5 u - increase of 1/2 micron).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2"><b>2)</b> Technical Spec 5.16.b:
We can not offer drop shipment to Russia for any of the units under
this RFP. This item is considered non-negotiable.</font>
<br>
<br>
Jefferson Lab will not require drop shipment to Russia. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2"><b>3)</b> Technical Specs 5.16
and JSA-200 (Delivery Requirements): Hamamatsu can not meet the
delivery
schedule outlined for production units. The current schedule does
not allow for sufficient wafer processing time after first article
approval
and the very best schedule we could offer is as follows:</font>

Jefferson Lab modifies technical Specs section 5.16 and JSA-200
(Delivery Requirements) to the following schedule:

<font face="sans-serif" size="2">If JLabs can relax the RFP
requirements
then Hamamatsu will choose to bid on this project, however we will also
likely require an extension of at least 1wk to prepare all of the
necessary
materials and process the RFP through our contracts review department.
Therefore, we would also like to request an extension.</font>
