Reminder... Construct Government-provided Chain Link Fence at Nicodemus National Historic Site, Nicodemus, KS 67625 The purpose of this amendment (0001) is to provide answers to questions asked thus far. Reminder that all amendments must be acknowledged by the due date and time of quotes. Q1. 60x60 = 240 - 28 feet of gate = 212. My math brings the total footage to 212 not 210. This brings quantities out of balance. I can over stretch the chain-link to accommodate the shortage but ordering the correct amount would be preferred. A1: See A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 below. Q2. 11 sticks of top rail not 10 (they are 21 feet in length). Industry best practices is not to put a 3 foot piece of rail at the end. A2: See A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 below. Q3. Sleeves at 6 required not 10 (saves 4). A3: See A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 below. Q4. Line posts at 17 not 19 (saves 2 posts). Industry standard is max 10' o/c spacing. A4: See A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 below. Q5. The tension wire was called out in pounds. Did this include the extra footage needed to make the termination wraps? We typically order by the footage required. A5: See A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 below. A1, A2, A3, A4, A5. Regarding material differences between what is listed in the A06 Specs.pdf document and what each quoter believes is required, quoters shall review the material list and document any missing or additional materials needed to install the chain link fence to the standards described in the solicitation documents. Identify this information in your response to the solicitation including associated pricing. All work shall comply with the solicitation and all solicitation documents. If a contract is awarded, it will be awarded as a firm fixed price contract. Q6. There was no gate hardware listed, does the supplier automatically include them? A6: Only the gate hardware specified in the A06 Specs.pdf document is included. If you believe additional or substitutions are needed, then include that with your quote. Q7: Page 7 of the Project Specification mentions at "D. Period of performance: Work shall be completed within 60 calendar days of the start date provided on the Notice to Proceed". But on page 8 of the RFQ Solicitation it says, "complete the entire work ready for use not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of Notice to Proceed". Which is correct, 60 days or 30 days? A7: 60 days after receipt of Notice to Proceed. Q8. On page 21 of the Specification sheet, the last entry says "(2) 12' x 8' SLIDE GATES". Can you clarify what is meant by slide gate? I'm not clear as to what that means. If you're looking for a cantilever gate, two would not be needed. If it is another type, I need more info as to what you have type in mind. A8: There are two gate panels each 12-foot by 8-foot. Instead of having hardware that creates a pivot point (hinge) at the anchor post, this has rails that with rollers attached to the gate allowing the gate to slide open instead of swinging open. Q9. Concrete embedment of corner and gate posts at only 11 inches. Terminal posts are set 1 inch high to accommodate the post cap. At a minimum, the 3 gate posts should be full depth preferably all terminals. A9: Government awaiting clarification from the asker of the question. Please see posted documents/attachments for full solicitation details.
