SEE BELOW FOR QUESTIONS AND GOVERNMENT RESPONSES.

Question: Would your organization be able to take these post in segments at 2000 at a time?

Government Response: Yes, ONLY IF the schedule meets our time needs.

Question: What is time frame is for needing all 6400 that you’re seeking?

Government Response: 2,000 in first 90 days, 2,000 NLT 6 months later, 2,000 NLT 6 months later, final 400 NLT 6 months later; contract fulfilled by September 30, 2025. Earlier is absolutely acceptable.

Question: The posts would ship out on pallets therefore we need to know if you are needing a jack and lift gate in order to price out shipping for you?

Government Response: We have a forklift at the delivery site. We do NOT need a jack and a lift gate as part of the order. They should notify ahead of arrival.

Question: Confirming the shipping address to be at Plumas National Forest, 159 Lawrence St. in Quincy, CA 95971 Government Response: Yes.

Question: In the attachment provided at sam.gov the specifications for the survey post have a wedge at the end.

Will the agency accept offers for materials that will have no wedge at the end?

Government Response: I don’t believe a wedge (or not) will be an issue.

Question: The post has indicated 5 finish holes that are spread out according to spec. Will you also accept posts that may have more than 5 holes within the post itself?

Government Response: The number of holes shouldn’t be a problem either, AS LONG AS THERE ARE AT LEAST THE 5 WITH THE PROPER SPACING AND DIAMETER. That’s the important part, that our signs will line up and can be riveted securely.

Question: Would the aluminum post be acceptable, or does it absolutely have to be galvanized steel?

Government Response: Aluminum is NOT acceptable.
