09/12/2019: Offeror Question
Q: 1. Is there any special requirement for metal finish or edge?
09/12/2019: Government Answer
A: 1. The Government has submitted questions the Subject Matter Expert for review. The
Government has not requested any finish specification to the metal or edge. As a result, the panels shall not be galvanized, painted, or otherwise have any type of extra coating applied that could interfere with a welding process. Minimal amounts of factory applied oil/lubricant/rust inhibitor or other industry standard application of protectant has been deemed acceptable.
Regarding the edge finish, the Government has not identified how contractors are to meet the steel plate size requirements. If cutting/shearing is required, the tolerance per panel shall not exceed 1/16” plus or minus per panel. Any method of cut/shear shall result in a straight, uniform, precise, and “clean” cut edge. Excessive Top spatter, Burr, Dross Build-Up, or other cut flaws that may interfere with the final use may be rejected by the Government.
