Questions & Answers for Blue Lake Fence Reconstruction Project

Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico

Solicitation RFQ# 127EAX26Q0012-002

Question 15: Can you provide the weight and or count for the 8" spikes packages?

The boxes and materials are stored at a different facility, and due to staffing shortages because of current fire obligations, the boxes cannot be verified in the required timeframe.

However, there are five boxes at approximately 20-30 lbs. each.

Question 16: The SOW states both fence posts at 8' and 9' centers. Which is correct?

The SOW states the posts are 8’ (8’ L x 6” W). The post will be spaced 9’ on center to allow the poles to be attached to the posts.

Question 17: Can you provide a sketch for the "u-shaped pass-throughs"?

U (or V)-shaped pass-throughs are preferred; however, this could be downgraded to a 3-foot gap to allow foot traffic and recreational access, if a lack of materials deems it to be necessary. The fence is designed to deter vehicles from driving through the wetland, not to keep animals from entering. No sketch is available at this time.

Question 18: The prior answers to questions stated in response to previous question 5, that the Forest Service had added 30% to the needed materials (posts, poles, and spikes). That does not appear to be correct given the quantities provided in the SOW (page 2). Please verify.

Again, due to staffing shortages because of current fire obligations, the material cannot be verified in the required timeframe. However, material required to build the fence will be provided by the Forest Service.

Question 19: Do the posts need to be pointed prior to placement?

No.

Question 20: Are contractors required to provide any fencing materials (posts, poles, or spikes) for this project?

No.
