Request for Information (RFI )#1 Solicitation AG-0112-S-14-0014 Tongass LTF Reconstruction

1) Can Foreign material be used for the Steel products for the beaver slide, floats and settling basin outlet pipe? Steel Fabricators in Alaska and Pacific Northwest are using mostly imported steel for pipe fabrication as domestic steel is being priced out at 3 to 4 times higher than the foreign product.

Answer: In reference to the Buy American Act, an exception to purchase steel other than domestic has not been approved.

2) What size, type and spec of bolts are to be used to hold the pipe float tubes to the ramp on plan sheet 6 0f 26?

Answer: Sheet 6 is reference only. Bolts used to hold the HDPE pipe floats to the slide platform referred to on sheet 9 should match the existing bolts as close as possible in size, type, and spec. At minimum, bolts and nuts should be galvanized steel, conforming to ASTM A307 as stated in FP-03 section 717.

The existing steel pipe floats are attached by welding. The new steel floats should be affixed by welding of equivalent size, type, spec, and location.

3) What FSSS spec is to be followed for the Pipe Pile skids? If it is Section 555 of the FP-03, is the entire 555 section applicable? Or is 555.03, 555.08, 555.10 555.14, and 555.18 the only applicable Parts of the 555 Section of the FP-03 for this work?

Answer: All of the FP-03 section 555 and supplements are applicable.
