Solicitation #12445022Q0001

Offer Due Date: 8 Dec 2021, 1159PM

Questions Due: 18 Nov 2021

Questions Response & Posted to SAM.gov: 23 Nov 2021

Questions & Answers:

1. The solicitation notates in box 10 that it is ‘unrestricted’ but notates a ‘size standard’ of 750.

Also, on page 5 of the solicitation under ’52.212-5 (14) the box is checked as ‘Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside’. Please provide clarification.

Answer: Solicitation is restricted to TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS SET-A-SIDE ONLY, NAICS: 332999, Size Standard 750 Employees.

2. Page 3, Section B, Period of Performance – Would the awarded contractor also be required to install the posts or just build and ship them?

Answer: RFQ is for building and shipping of posts.

3. Scope of Work 2. – What is the required ‘removal resistant mechanism at bottom’? It is not shown in the drawings or mentioned in another area of the scope.

Answer: See attachment (Tabs.pdf). This can be several “tabs” that will make the post harder to pull from the ground or cement. Notice the end tip is narrower so it penetrated the ground easier.

4. Scope of Work, post drawing on page 22 – What is the distance for the bottom hole in the post? Is it 2” like the one at the top of the post? Are the dimensions provided for the hole placement considered OC (On center)?

Answers:

• There should not be a hole in the bottom, this is an error. What should be at the bottom is the removal restraint arrangement (see Tabs.pdf).

• Yes, all holes are centralized in the post.

12445021Q0001 Amendment 0001

5. Scope of Work, detail view drawing on page 23 – Is there wiggle room or an acceptable tolerance for the radii to change due to machine restraints?

Answer: Yes, the vendor can submit their diagram for review as well
