| Contractor’s Questions |
| Government Response |
| FLOOR PLAN - BEDROOM |
| Would a queen and full size bed be taken into consideration, instead of two queen beds? |
Either a Queen or a Full-sized bed would be acceptable; a twin would be as well. The mattress just needs to be better than a foam pad.
| DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT - POWER |
| Does it definitely have to be all electric, would propane be accepted? |
All appliances need to be electric. We have permanent electric hook-ups for all units. We do NOT have access to propane.
| Quote – Schedule of Items |
| You want a quote for 10 units and not 1 and preferably units with washer and dryer as an option? You also are wanting a lump sum for 10 even though you want each unit price correct? |
The Schedule of Items should have a unit price and a total price column. The Unit Price should be inclusive of shipping per unit. The total price is calculated by taking the QTY * Unit Price = Total Price.
Option Item is the Laundry unit in each trailer. It may or may not be exercised. The Lump Sum was not asked for, as there is the potential to pick quantity from any number of quotes received.
| DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT – ALTERNATIVE LENGTH NOTICE |
| Can the trailers be longer than 30 ft and what would be the maximum length acceptable or allowed? |
| The solicitation states if offering a different length to mark the material as “alternative” |
| DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT – SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS |
| Are you looking at a specific model for example? |
| The Government has NOT decided on any specific model, that is why we are providing salient characteristics. |

| What are the dimensions of the existing RV pads? |
| The pads are of varying sizes. All pads are at least 12 feet wide and 40 feet long. |
| FUNDING |
| What’s the maximum funding for this project? |
| The Government does NOT disclose any funding information. |
