Vendor Questions

Question:

We would like to bid this solicitation, aluminum posts, AG-82B1-S-10-0444.

In reviewing this information, a technical issue was discussed in reference to the 6061-T6 aluminum spec for the posts. 6061-T6 is more likely to crack at processing / rolling the curve on the post. We would like to quote the post in 6061-T0 or 5052 aluminum. Would this be acceptable?

Answer:

We have to require the alloy 6061 and temper T6.

Posts that are softer or more malleable are twisted into a pretzel by vandals.

Contractors in the past have been able to roll the shape. Extruding is another option.
