Solicitation # 36C25219B0023 550-18-112 Construct Campus Perimeter Fence Government Responses to Bidder Inquiries March 7, 2019

49 As I mentioned on the phone Question #47 contradicts itself and Amendment #1 when it says the specs do not state that you must use Ameristar.

Response: Ameristar or equivalent

50 Amendment #1 - question #24 states 'No' when asked if alternates could be entertained.

In the revised spec - section 2.3A - provide fence components from one manufacturer.

Response: Response for 24 is correct. No alternate for Ornamental fence acceptable. For manufacturer, 2.3 A is correct. Provide component from one manufacturer.

51 Ameristar is not able to provide the gates at the new wind load requirements. This leaves us with no choice but to find a different vendor to provide gates and Ameristar to provide the fence panels. Can we use a product other than Ameristar for the fence and gates or is the use of one manufacturer to be changed?

Response: Ameristar or equivalent is acceptable. Fence must meet the wind rating requirement specified in spec. For gate, delete wind load rating requirement.

52 2.3B Basis of Design: still states Ameristar: Model Montage - need to revise to Aegis II Majestic.

Response: Revised Section 32 31 40, Paragraph 2.3 (B) to Ameristar Aegis II (Majestic).

53 Also are you sure there needs to be a 6 ft. temp fence (to be in the way) while the fence is being removed?

Response: The VA assumes this question is in reference to the response to Solicitation Amendment 2 Q. 45. As stated in this response, the temporary fencing is required to secure the VA property if existing fence sections are removed and not reinstalled at the end of the work day.
