This announcement is amended with amendment 0002 of this solicitation. The following is changed within the solicitation: Quotation due date is extended to 16 May 2025. The following questions have been received and the answers are provided below: Are there any drawings, sketches, or reference images available for the work platform the end user is requesting? No drawing/pictures as this is a new purchase. Will assembly of the platform be required at the end user’s location following delivery? No assembly on site is requested; however, the Government would like an instruction book or training on first assembly to facilitate proper usage of Platform as noted in section 3.0, bullet point 9 of the specifications. This announcement is amended with amendment 0001 of this solicitation. The following is changed within the specifications: Electric motor driven lifting unit with a minimum 7000 lbs lifting capacity.” The following questions have been received and the answers are provided below: “There is a statement regarding "Free-standing Base allowing the work platform to reach 35 feet without anchors." Is this to mean that the length shall reach 35 feet with no obstructions/supports underneath?” The work platform should reach 35 feet without wall supports or wall anchors. A base can be separate or integrated into the work platform but cannot be anchored to the floor. Platform to be 50' in length: are upright supports permissible periodically underneath deck surface? The platform will need to change elevations while workers are stationed on the platform. No more than 2-3 people are expected to be on the platform at one time. Platform to be 5' in width/depth? Work platform should be wide enough to allow one worker to walk from one side to the other. What environment is this in? This will be operated in an open top enclosed concrete bay on a dam. In storage, the top of the bay will be closed however in use it will be exposed to the elements including water and high humidity. Is aluminum acceptable? As long as it can support the weight of itself, a nominal worker load, and a factor of safety at the extent of the work platform’s required dimensions. Is the intent for this to be a mobile platform or secured to floor? The intent is for this to be a semi-mobile platform without anchors. The requirement for the most extreme operation is rising 35’ from the ground with 50’ work platform. Using outriggers is a viable solution. Is there a minimum height? 35’ is the minimum height needed to reach the top of the spillway gate to perform maintenance of the surface. What is the desired timeline to take delivery on the product? The desired timeline is by the end of the year but that is a lower concern. Is the entire 50' of platform to be raised/lowered simultaneously? Yes, One operation requires lifting and installing 50’ seals horizontally along the spillway gate at different heights.
