RFQ #1284LL24Q0074
Amendment 0003
a. The following is a prospective offeror’s question and the Government’s response to the question:
Q14: I had a question regarding the snow load rating. I only assume that it was a partial typo but you have a snow load of 1420 pounds a square foot written in the specs. Was that supposed to be divided by the total square footage of the table, meaning 1,420/32sqft = 44.375lbs/sqft, or do I need to estimate to build a table that can withstand 45,000 pounds? 1420 x 32sqft=45,440. The table in the picture cannot withstand that loading. I understand this, but I wanted to clarify in writing.
A14: The snow load rating for that is supposed to be 1420 lbs. per square foot. Many Pilot Rock specs were used for this as a standard table that we know works for us and that we have had good experiences with. So the snow load requirement comes from what Pilot Rock makes. The snow load requirements were specifically added to deal with our environmental conditions, as well as to help create a minimum standard of robustness so that we were not getting the cheapest tables that could easily be put together but does not have the sturdiness required.
b. Offerors must either include a written acknowledgement of Amendments 0001, 0002 and 0003 in their quote/proposal package, or sign Blocks 15a, b and c of each amendment and include those signed amendments in their quote/proposal package.
