REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FORM

1240LT26Q0077

GAOA Stock Program Fence Work Custer Gallatin National Forest

RFI #1 – Do we need to give facility managers a heads up that were coming to look at the project sites? If so, can we get contact info for each facility?

If you notify Logan Foster (logan.foster@usda.gov) of the dates you plan to look at the site, he will notify the facility mangers.

RFI #2 – What is the welder certificate the specs refer to? Is the FS requiring an actual certified welder for the small amount of footage? Are you meaning for the rod?

Welder certificates are primarily in regard to the prefabricated components (Gates, panels, and wire) if choosing something other than the preapproved items to ensure a qualified fabrication. For the in field welding that may be needed, the “best modern practice and applicable requirements of AWS D1.1” is the intent (Spec #323120 Stock Gate: 3.1).

RFI #3 – There are three different contact emails and multiple directions on who to send the bid to. Do we include all three?

All quotes shall be sent to PPS.proposals@usda.gov.

RFI #4 – Any issue with work all being completed next year vs started this fall? Most fence builders late in the year are busy trying to get jobs finished before weather shuts them down for the winter.

No issues with completing the work next year. All work should be completed by September 30, 2027.
