About this file
This document contains questions and answers regarding a solicitation for swine modular penning. The solicitation is seeking 40 modular penning units that can be configured as either 20 pens of approximately 43 square feet each by connecting two 22 square foot modules together, or as 40 individual 22 square foot pens. The modules will have owner-provided J feeders and Lixit automatic watering units installed inside. Gates for personnel entry will be located on the modules, allowing stepping over instead of opening. Most of the questions seek clarification on the preferred configuration and locations of feeders, watering units, and gates on the modules.

Questions & Answers for Swine Modular Penning
1. What type of feeders are you looking for and where would you like them located? Owner provided J feeders attached inside the pen.
2. Do you want auto watering? if so again the preferred location? Owner provided Lixit units to be attached inside the penning.
3. From the specifications Each module would be approximately 22 ft2. The basic configuration would be 2 – 5.08’ X 5.83’ modules attached either lengthwise making a 5.08’ X 10.66’ pen or side by side making a 9.5’ X 5.83’ ~45 ft2. Subtracting 2 ft2 for feeder(s) this leaves ~43 ft2. This can house 2 - 220 lb, 4 - 110 lb, or 7 – 55 lb pigs. Please note that when two modules go together only 13 horizontal supports would be required instead of 14 if both pens were set up separately. So are you looking for 40 Modules that can be separated into 80 cages if needed? We are looking at 40 ~22ft2 modules that would most likely be set up as 20 ~43 ft2 pens (two modules together). These 20 pens could be further subdivided into the 40 individual ~22ft2 pens (single module). Hopefully, this helps.
4. Where on each module would you like a gate or gates located? The gating will act as the gate on these modules. Most personnel entry would be by stepping over the gating.
