Questions / Answers

29 No, it is NOT GFE.Confirming that the satellite dish is GFE.

Yes, as long as they have a minimum speed rating of "N" and are sufficient for the maximum load of the vehicle.

Synopsis/Solicitation item 3., MCPV Trailer Chassis, item d. calls for 11R24.5 tires. 22.5 are much more common and readily available for replacement. Is this acceptable?

Yes, PoP date is based on a tentative award date of 07/01/2020-06/30/2021 (base year)

Is the PoP for Line Item 0001 supposed to read 07/01/2020 – 06/30/2021?

.090 is acceptable.

Item 6. Exterior. Calls for .125” aluminum skin on all trailers. This is an unusual requirement for these types of trailers and adds weight. On the heavy duty side, standard on a Gooseneck trailer is .050 riveted and .090 smooth skin on a 53’ semi trailer.

No Do you need an interior vestibule in the SCIF trailer.

The IDC-705 Tech Spec lays out all of the requirements for a SCIF. FBI shielding standard is using R foil Ultra radiant barrier foil; this exact product is approved for our shielding with all seams double folded three inches wide and foil tape on all six sides and built within the ICD/ICS 705 tech specs. I have included the spec sheet.

What dB and frequency level is required for the shielding on the SCIF trailer? This has a significant cost/construction method impact.

We are open to the possibility of mounting the generator on the tractor. Please provide plans/options for both configurations. One with the generator mounted on the front of the trailer and one mounted on the tractor.

our preference would be to NOT have the generator mounted inside the gooseneck area.

Item 9 MCPV Electrical. The current units have the generators mounted on the tractors. Is it preferred to have the generator trailer mounted? If so, is there a preference as to location? Options are typically exterior front wall or interior in the gooseneck area in a dog house. If exterior, Bard HVAC’s cannot be used as they no longer make horizontal units. Much more costly units from other manufacturers will be required. If inside, less costly vertical HVAC (Bard) units can be used but you take up interior square footage. Tractor-mounted avoids the downside from either scenario.
