About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers file for a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service solicitation (140FC225Q0030) for a prefabricated steel bridge with a timber deck to be installed at the Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife Refuge Complex in Sudbury, MA. The Q&A addresses key technical and logistical details, including bridge delivery expectations, assembly requirements, and vendor responsibilities. Specifically, the document clarifies that the bridge should arrive in the largest legally transportable width with modular frame and decking to be constructed onsite, welding certification will be managed through AWS, and the contractor will be responsible for providing bridge drawings.
The Q&A also confirms that the government does not require installation or a foundation for the bridge. The original proposed delivery date of July 1, 2025, was noted as unrealistic, with vendors encouraged to propose the earliest feasible delivery date in their bids. The solicitation is seeking a bridge fabrication and supply contract valued between $25,000 and $100,000, with questions due by June 2, 2025, and quotes due by June 10, 2025, to be submitted via email to William_koski@fws.gov.

Prefabricated Steel Bridge with Timber Deck U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Eastern Massachusetts National Wildlife Refuge Complex – Sudbury, MA Solicitation: 140FC225Q0030
Questions and Answers
Do you expect the bridge to arrive as a complete unit or as a field assembled kit? The intent is to receive the bridge in the largest legally transportable width, to reduce the amount of on-site assembly. But fully expect the bridge to be frame and decking to be modular and constructed onsite.
Is it expect the fabricator be ASIC certified for Intermediate Bridges? No, the welding certification would be managed through AWS and provided as part of the submittal.
Is the delivery date accurate? July 1, 2025 is only a few weeks from today. That date is unrealistic - please provide the earliest date for delivery in your bid.
Does the government require installation? - No
Does the government require a foundation? - No
Can the government please provide us with the drawings of the bridge? - Not that we own. I have a drawing from previous bridge installation as the contractor provided, but we do not have a produced drawing for this specification. The contractor would be responsible for providing drawings.
