Solicitation # 36C25219B0023 550-18-112 Construct Campus Perimeter Fence Government Responses to Additional Bidder Inquiries

45 01 00 00 N/A Please confirm if temporary fencing will need to be placed if existing fence sections are removed and not reinstalled that day. If yes, what are the requirements for the placement of temporary fencing?

Response: Yes, temporary fencing is required to secure the VA property line if existing fence sections are removed and not reinstalled that day. Fencing shall be at least 6-feet high. It is acceptable to install temporary posts and reuse existing removed fence sections for this purpose.

46 01 00 00 N/A If the facility has an existing CAD file for the existing utilities, please provide for bidding purposes.

Response: The facility does not have an existing, comprehensive CAD file with all utilities.

47 Addendum 1 revised specifications for the fencing stating that the fence must be engineered to meet 105mph wind rating and that the manufacturer MUST be Ameristar.

Ameristar cannot engineer the gates to meet this requirement and thus they will not be able to provide them. Can the COR change the spec to a lower wind rating that Ameristar can meet?

Response: We can’t lower the rating. This was recently edited by AE to include this rating.

The specs do not state that you must use Ameristar. Basis of Design: Ameristar montage is an error on the specs. See drawing provided in Amendment 1, Revised L-501, Detail C8 BASIS OF DESIGN FOR FENCE AND GATES IS THE AMERISTAR AEGIS II (MAJESTIC).

48 I’ve reviewed the revised L-501 drawing and there still seems to be a discrepancy. Detail F1 shows the height of the brick pier to be 10ft to the bottom of the cast stone. Detail C8 shows the fence to be 10ft to the top of the top rail. Please confirm which is accurate.

Response: Brick pier typical elevation dimension detail is correct for F1. C8 detail is correct for Ornamental fence elevation dimension.
