AMENDMENT NO. 2 – AG-8173-S-12-0019

I. Questions and Answers:

1. Question: Does (truck line) have to provide a forklift?

Answer: This forest is located more than 180 miles from a large full service community (Flagstaff, AZ).

This forest does not own a forklift. There is no other method for offloading heavy pallets off of flatbed trailers. All interested vendors are presented with the same requirement – provide a method to offload the pallets and move them to the storage spot. All interested vendors are welcome to make arrangements with forklift owners/operators that may be located near the delivery sites. I am unaware of any such owner/operators. The forest does not currently have the capability to unload this type of shipment and is adding this requirement to the successful vendor.

2. Question: Barbed Wire and Barbless Wire is shipped on full pallets of 32 roll per pallet?

Answer: The quantities stated in the solicitation are what the Government estimates it needs on this order. All interested vendors shall package the quantities the Government requires on pallets. It is acceptable to place a smaller quantity per pallet securely to balance the shipment on pallets. No change is authorized from the solicitation.

3. Question: Steel Tee Posts are shipped in full pallets of 200 posts per pallet?

Answer: The quantities stated in the solicitation are what the Government estimates it needs on this order. All interested vendors shall package the quantities the Government requires on pallets. It is acceptable to securely place oversize items on a two pallet combination that allows offloading with a forklift. No change is authorized from the solicitation.

4. Question: The 7 foot Corner Brace Posts and 7 foot Down Braces are shipped on pallets that are 7 feet wide, which will not meet your 4 foot x 4 foot pallet size requirement?

Answer: The quantities stated in the solicitation are what the Government estimates it needs on this order. All interested vendors shall package the quantities the Government requires on pallets. It is acceptable to securely place oversize items on a two pallet combination that allows offloading with a forklift. No change is authorized from the solicitation

5. Question: You are requesting Nut & Bolt Units for the Corner Posts?

Answer: One bolt and one nut (1/2 inch size) is description for Items 006 and 015.

6. Question: Define what an ” Angle clip, for brace assemblies, 2 inch x 2inch x ¼ inch thick" is. Can you provide an image?

Answer: Use an internet search engine, type in “angle clip fastener” to see a facsimile image, the angle clip is used to attach brace assemblies to steel corner braces or down braces to each other. Nut and bolt units are used to fasten the angle clips.
