14. DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT/MODIFICATION (Organized by UCF section headings, including solicitation/contract subject matter where feasible.)

THE PURPOSE OF THIS AMENDMENT IS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND EXTEND THE CLOSING DATE.

A. THE CLOSING DATE OF THE SOLICITATION IS EXTENDED FROM 4/19/2024 TO 4/26/2024.

B. QUESTION 1: Under Section V. (Meetings), it is stated that the contractor shall conduct one site visit to better understand placement of exhibits and resources available to them.

This is the purpose of item #00020, to price out that trip. The solicitation further states that all deliverables should be shipped FOB to destination, implying that there is no need to travel and install the physical exhibit. However, under section VI. (Deliverables and

Destination Point), the solicitation mentions travel for installation. Is this required?

And if so, how are we supposed to budget for this trip?

140R1724Q0005/0002

ANSWER: THERE WILL BE NO INSTALLATION

ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REQUIREMENT. THIS IS

STRICTLY A 'SUPPLY' BUY. THE ONLY TRAVEL THAT

NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR IS THE ONE TRIP IN THE

PLANNING PHASE TO SEE THE VIEWPOINTS FROM WHERE

THE EXHIBITS WILL BE PLACED IN ORDER TO HELP WITH

DESIGN CONCEPTS. THE MONETARY VALUE OF CLIN

00020 WILL BE THE COST OF TRAVEL FROM YOUR

LOCATION TO THE HUNGRY HORSE DAM BASED ON CURRENT

GSA FEDERAL TRAVEL REGULATIONS.

C. QUESTION 2: IV.E specifies the sign panel to be "embedded in a powder coated surface".

"Embedded" can imply that the panels be permanently attached to the base. "Embedded" can also refer to certain methods of sign panel construction (e.g. fiberglass embedded sign). Can you provide clarification?

ANSWER: IT IS OKAY FOR THE PANELS TO BE ABLE

TO BE REMOVED. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE PERMANENTLY

ATTACHED TO THE BASE.

D. QUESTION 3: Is there a specific material or substrate preferred for the sign panel itself? Or is this decision up to the contractor?

ANSWER: THE MATERIAL NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING

DURABLE, WEATHERPROOF (FREEZING AND HOT

TEMPERATURES), HOLD UP TO SCRATCHES AND POTENTIAL

VANDALISM. THE CONTRACTOR SHOULD PROPOSE A

MATERIAL THAT WILL MEET THE NEEDS OF THE

REQUIREMENT DESCRIBED IN THE SPECIFICATION.

ACCEPTABLE EXAMPLES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED

TO: ALUMINUM PRINTED DIRECTLY ON ALUMINUM SHEET

WITH A FINISH COATING; FIBERGLASS EMBEDDED

INKJET; HIGH PRESSURE LAMINATE; PORCELAIN ENAMEL.

E. QUESTION 4: Is there a material or production method desired for the tactile elements? (e.g.

cast bronze, epoxy, etc.)

ANSWER: PLEASE REFER TO AMENDMENT 0001 FOR THE

TACTILE ELEMENTS.

F. QUESTION 5: Sign panel fabrication methods and materials come with different life expectancies.

Is there an expectation of a certain material warranty beyond 10 years?

ANSWER: NO; PER PROVISION 52.212-1, THE

MINIMUM REQUIREMENT IS A MANUFACTURER'S STANDARD

WARRANTY.

G. QUESTION 6: IV.E specifies a "powder coated" surface, and IV.F specifies a "painted aluminum" base. Are these materials and fabrication methods required? Is the panel mount expected to be powder coated aluminum, or steel, and/or finished differently than the base?

ANSWER: THE MATERIALS LISTED IN THE

SPECIFICATION ARE 'MINIMUM REQUIRED

CHARACTERISTICS'. THE FINISHED PRODUCT PROPOSED

BY THE CONTRACTOR SHALL, AT MINIMUM, MEET THE

SALIENT FEATURES/RUGGEDNESS/WEATHERPROOF ABILITY

OF THE MATERIALS LISTED. NO, IT IS NOT NECESSARY

FOR THE BASE AND PANEL TO BE FINISHED

DIFFERENTLY, SO LONG AS THE FINAL PRODUCT MEETS

THE MINIMUM SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS.

H. QUESTION 7. There is only one mention of a braille translation. Is all of the text expected to be translated into and accompanied by adjacent tactile braille?

ANSWER: YES. PER PART IV - SCOPE OF WORK, ALL

DESIGNS MUST BE COMPLIANT WITH ACCESSIBILITY

REQUIREMENTS.

I. QUESTION 8. Will the braille translation be provided and proofed by the client?

ANSWER: YES

ALL OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS REMAIN THE SAME.
