14. DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION : Described below and attached are: Description of changes, additions, and deletions.

1. Solicitation 127EAV21Q0021 is hereby amended per the following:

2. Questions about the solicitation along with their respective answers are posted below:

3. Question: You note, a forklift will be entering and exiting the tent – what does the clearance (tent leg height/tent eve line) need to be? Answer: The forklifts we use are 5000 lb Warehouse forklifts – the full clearance height shall be at least 15 ft.

4. Question: Do you know the forklift size? Answer: Standard 5000 lb warehouse forklift - 4’ wide by 12’long by 9’ height - with lowered mast – 15 ft. fully raised.

5. Question: Our standard structures are on 13’ tent legs but we can accommodate any height requirement up to 26’. Answer: 26’ height will work. Roof height restrictions are governed by the Airport. Tanker Base roof height is 28 ft. So, tent can be no higher than 28 ft.

6. Question: Are there any overhead obstructions which would dictate a maximum tent height i.e. trees. power lines, etc.? Answer: No.

7. Question: I presume “staking” the tent using 42”+ stakes in the ground are approved (no underground utilities)? Answer: Staking is required, into very hard ground.

8. Question: We have concrete ballasts if needed. Answer: Staking is required due to winds.

9. Question: Will you need any flooring under the tent to reduce dust/dirt and allow for fork skids to lift and place supplies/inventory? Answer: No.

10. Question: Pending your answer above regarding forklift access, we have a heavy equipment “drive mat” flooring that would work great (if needed). Answer: No flooring needed.

11. Question: Does the tent need to meet specific wind or load requirements? Our standard rating is 90+ mph pending exposure. Answer: We do have high winds, so 90+ rating will suffice.

12. Question: With an installation date next week, will any tent engineering documents or permits need to be processed? Answer: This will be set on Government Leased area, and no permits are required.

13. Question: Will there be an opportunity to do a site visit to ensure load/unload access, proper tent placement and timeline? Answer: You are welcome to visit the site at any time prior to the close of the solicitation.

14. Question: We currently have a significant amount of structures in Texas as part of the immigration housing.

What specific references will you need? Answer: See mandatory evaluation criteria included in the solicitation.

15. Question: Do you need any LED lighting for early morning/night operations? Answer: No.

16. Question: Do you need any safety packages i.e. exit signs, fire extinguishers, etc. Answer: The

Government’s understanding is that Safety Packages (i.e. exit signs, fire extinguishers, etc.) are standard equipment and would expect that they are supplied with any tent structure.

17. Is there power at the site, or will you need a generator? You will need to provide the generator.

You will also need to have your company forklift(s) for setting.

18. Due Date for response to the solicitation remains on or before 12:00 Noon MDT, Thursday, May 20, 2021.
