Battle Mountain Crane Services
Q&A
1. Can we send one of our guys out to perform a site visit to observe the location where the cranes will be needed and positioned?
FAA RESPONSE: Yes. FAA personnel will be on-site during typical weekday business hours during every day through the end of the solicitation period (including Saturday and Sunday).
Vendors wishing to conduct a site visit may do so at their discretion by contacting site POC as follows:
Primary POC Tim Housley Phone: 405-465-9507
Cell reception is inconsistent at best at this location. If phone call is not answered, please leave a text message to include names of visitors and company.
A 4WD vehicle is recommended to travel to the worksite. It is on a mountain summit. Hard hat, steel toe boots, and other PPE is required as this will be an active construction site. Please bring your own.
2. I see the smaller cranes are 30-ton in size. What's size are you needing for the Large Crane?
FAA RESPONSE: The FAA is relying on industry’s expertise. The FAA attempted to describe the payload lift characteristics of the equipment (weight and dimensions) and placement (how high) to assist in the offeror’s determination of crane size.
To provide as much information as possible, the FAA anticipates a 200’ boom is needed, and point of payload pick up to point of payload placement is anticipated not to exceed a 40’ radius.
It is the responsibility of the offeror to provide a crane that is capable of lifting the equipment per the descriptions provided in the SOW and this additional information provided.
3. Assuming you need the crews available onsite 24hrs a day during the Lift Service days only? Let me know if that's correct.
FAA RESPONSE:
For the large crane crew, down time is anticipated. Large crane crew may leave the site but must remain in the general vicinity of the work site (near the town of Battle MTN, NV) and on call to return quickly. Favorable weather conditions will drive when this is needed and could occur at any time during the 24-hour day. The FAA does not want to overly restrict this requirement by memorializing an exact response time, but favorable weather conditions could change quickly. As such, the FAA expects the contractor to be vigilant and return to the site as soon as possible if called.
For the small crane crews, lifting operations are anticipated to be needed to support the 24 hour/day repair effort and must be onsite and performing, or available to perform, lift operations at all times during the Lift Service days.
