Contractor Questions &Answers
Solicitation 140P8525Q0075 Lumber for Yosemite National Park
1. Regarding the Doug Fir, Clear, Vertical Grain, FULL DIMENSION:
a. Is this green or kiln dried?
Kiln Dried
b. Is this rough sawn or surfaced (S4S)?
Rough Sawn or S4S are both acceptable if the net is one inch
2. For the Doug Fir, what is the dry spec? Is it air dried, kiln dried, or green?
Ideally air dried, but green will be accepted due to custom specs for large timbers.
3. The line items for 1 X 4 & 1 X 8 states random lengths; I foresee this wording causing confusion for the vender. Is it feasible to make these line items all 12 feet in length, thus giving the user the option to cut to his/her preferred length at a later time?
For the 1x4 and 1x8 vertical grain Doug fir... Receiving the material as all 12' lengths would be acceptable if that is the easiest way for a contractor to receive material from their sub.
That said, random lengths provided by the sub are preferred and would be easier for most subs to sell to the prime in bulk. It also will keep costs down.
4. About the 1x4 and 1x8 vertical grain doug fir. It does not specify on your list whether you need a rough or smooth finish on this material, also whether you would need it to be a squared edge or an eased edge?
Rough sawn, not S4S (surfaced for sides).
No eased edge
