AMENDMENT NO. 0002 36C786-19-R-0069 DATED: June 18, 2019 PURETO RICO NATIONAL CEMETERY – This amendment supports government response to all questions received against subject requirement. Note: There will be no time extension for receipt of proposals, based on government responses, the official date and time on SF 1442 stands.

QUESTION 1: The information for us to quote the Project says: Contract period of performance will consist of Thirty (30) calendar days, after issuance of Official Notice to Proceed (NTP). Unfortunately, we won't have total control over the manufacturing time of the panels, Nor for delivery time for the steel material from the manufacturer/supplier NOR for the POWDER Coating process time at the provider location. Depending on the times that the materials goes into the production line will determined the Finish goods available to commence the installation of them. Will it be possible to extend the period of performance of the project?? We believe it should be extended around 180 to 360 days. GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Period of Performance of all work to complete after issuance of the NTP is hereby changed to read one-hundred-eighty (180) calendar days.

QUESTION 2: While reviewing the Technical Factors on the solicitation we notice that what has been requested is for a project related to SIGNS. Can you please provide the Technical Factors that will be required for this Decorative Fence project? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The wording “Signs” is hereby changed to read similar projects.

QUESTION 3: The scope of work calls for Galvanized steel material. related to the Posts says "Posts: 2-1/2-inch (63.5 mm) square, 16 gauge". We will like to clarify since the existing POSTS are square 2 1/2" x 2 1/2” BUT BEACUSE THEY ARE ALUMINUM MATERIAL. The Regular Galvanized Posts Gage 16 that are available here are either 2x2 or 3x3 or 4x4. Please Clarify. GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Provide 2”x2” Galvanized Posts Gage 16.

QUESTION 4: There are a few areas that are shorter than 10 feet long, the specs calls for "closing existing holes that DO NOT match with the new fence and to repair and paint to match the existing footing. AS PER SPECS, If ALL new Fence Panels are to be Fabricated in standard length of 120 inches THEN, they will not fit on the existing measurements of the ladder type footing. SO, WILL IT BE OK TO FABRICATE SHORTER PANELS AS NEEDED? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Yes

QUESTION 5: In relation to the Powder Coating finish, WHAT will be the Finish COLOR? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The finished color shall be black closely matching the existing panel.

QUESTION 6: Scope of work document dated 2/9/19 page 9 section D.3 states that a mandatory pre-bid site inspection will be arranged through the KO. Please advise time and date for this site inspection. GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Reference page 8 of 38 to RFP, the information is provided to contact the Director, Mr. Juan Nieves at Puerto Rico National Cemetery, Bayamon, PR, Telephone: 787 798-8400. Note: The Director has the authorization for this meeting.

QUESTION 7: Solicitation section 4.33-Evaluation Factors for Award, in Factor 2-Technical Approach, it requires providing past performance in three (3) sign installation projects. However, this project is for a decorative fence. Can we include past performance on projects with decorative fencing similar to the one proposed for this project? GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Yes. Please clarify what is meant by “sign installation”. GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: The wording “Signs” is hereby changed to read similar projects (meaning past performance of similar decorative fencing projects).
