Amendment 0003 issued to provide answers to questions submitted by interested contractor and provide revised Statement of Work (SOW)

Q1. The building manufacturer's current lead time from design approval to scheduled ship date is 3 months. Has the USDA accounted for this time in your duration schedule?

A1. USDA has not accounted for every possible steel building manufacturer's lead time.

Include information regarding lead time in your proposal and USDA will consider adjusting the period of performance.

Q2. With the length at 90' and have a column every 15' vs going with a column every 30' you can save around $3,421.00 on the 30' bays on the building cost. Also, the more columns you have the more piers you will have in the concrete for the columns to rest on. Will the

USDA consider going with columns every 30'?
