1. How long is the runway at the cabin?

Approx. 2,275 feet

No sooner than 6/22-23, There’s a required prework meeting, bonding and other required submittals before work can begin.

5. Roof framing. In the plans attached to the solicitation there is not a roof framing detail provided. Traditionally on FS cabins it is built with Purlin beams on which exposed t&g is installed and an over frame roof atop that which can be insulated. Will this be the method used, or a different one?

The method of roof framing you have described would be acceptable. The contract calls for a delegated design by a licensed architect/engineer of the structural components of the cabin, including the roof. We’d expect the delegated designer to provide a more detailed roof design.

6. The Floor framing plan calls for 2”x12” @ 16” OC, will these be in hangars or placed atop the carriers?

The foundation drawings provided are conceptual plans meant to be developed further into shop drawings.
