VENDOR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Solicitation No.:
Project Name:
# General Technical Question Answer Date
1 X
Per the RFQ, there appears to be a requirement for multiple version if the jigs (see 4.A.iv). Per the manufacturer, that each of the jigs can hold 3 cylinders at a time and they can grind 3 cylinders at a time. There will be no returning the extra holders if the end user made a mistake. Please verify that they really want that many cylinder holders.
The text identified is specific to the capacity of the machine. The intent is to state that the machine shall be capable of handling the noted quantity of specimens of a specific size during a single grinding operation. This is not a statement as to requisite number of specimen jigs.
The ultimate intent is that a single jig will accommodate the required number of specimens as noted in Section C paragraph 4.A.iv. If a single jig will facilitate multiple specimen diameters, that would be satisfactory too.

2 X The Automatic Cylinder End Grinder, 110V 60Hz, meets standard ASTM C39 and not ASTM D4543 or AASHTO T22. Could you please confirm if this is acceptable.
ASTM C39 and AASTO T 22 are equivalent standards.
If the device satisfies the surface tolerance requirements of one method it will satisfy the tolerance requirements of the other method. Preference is to be given to devices meeting the AASHTO T 22 requirements. Not meeting the requirements of ASTM D4543 is addressed in the actual RFQ and is an acceptable situation per the guidance given.
