CHANGES CLAUSE - 52.243-4

Amendment #02 is being issued to answer question received.

QUESTION: Regarding the aluminum storefront framing- the specifications call for a “white anodized” finish. The vendors I’ve reached out to tell me this finish is not a possible option. Is Class II clear anodized or white painted acceptable?

ANSWER: Provide a white finish on the storefront similar to the existing. The industry’s standard architectural coating would be a Kynar 500 coating with a dry film thickness of 1.2 mils.
