Q2. What is the Period of Performance for this project?
A2. The first page of the solicitation contains answers to the other two questions.

Q4. I have a question about one of the specifications. It says that the cross members are to be of 2 3/8” Schedule 40 pipe that weighs 6.5 Lbs./ Ft. However, when i am searching for this component there is none that weighs over 3.65lbs/ft. How do you want us to proceed on quoting this material or is it possible to remove the 6.5 LBS./Ft. specification?
A4. Specifications and drawing for pipe should read as follows:
Steel Line Posts, Corner Posts & Top Rail – 2‐7/8 “ O.D. SCH 40 at 5.79 pounds per foot Steel Cross Rails‐ 2‐3/8” O.D. SCH 40 at 3.65 pounds per foot Steel Gate Posts‐ 6” I.D. SCH 40 at 18.97 pounds per foot Brace Pipes‐not required

Q8. Request clarification regarding the diameter of hole the 2 7/8 inch line posts are required to be placed in. #3 on the drawing page specifies the diameter of hole for a 6 inch line or corner post but there is no drawing for the dimensions of the 2 7/8 line post holes.
A8. The 2 7/8 inch line post shall be set in a 12” hole. See attached revised drawing.
