Solicitation DE-RP65-11WG92383 Amendment 001

The purpose of this amendment is provide answers to questions that have been received for this solicitation.

1. In the Specifications document, on the pole drawing labeled “Attachment C”, Note 14 states, (”H” indicates height portion of pole structure designations listed in specifications). When we look at H, it just refers us back to Note 14. We haven’t been able to find the value/s of “H” anywhere in the Specifications; all that was found was that there is a tolerance of plus or minus 12 inches on “H” (pg.

5-23). Please assist us in clarifying this issue.

ANSWER: “H” refers to height portion of structure designation which is distance from ground line to bottom insulator attachment.

See attached drawing 43-281S 2200. For a Type 281S-100 (DE), The "100" is the "H" dimension and means the distance from ground line to bottom insulator attachment is 100 feet. The (DE) means the structure is "direct-embedded". The "H" dimension is on the left side of the drawing and is explained in Note 14 on Transmission Line Structures 281S Pole Structures – Outline and Design Loads #43-281S-2200 drawing dated August 16, 2010.

2. In the document “WAPA1-Solicitation_052611”, on page 2, Section B: Schedule of Supplies/Services and Prices, the estimated Quantity of poles is given in pounds. We need some clarification on these quantities given in pounds in order to determine the quantity of poles to quote for. Are you just wanting a price per pound? Or can we please get actual estimated quantities?

ANSWER: The estimated quantities of poles in pounds is an estimate of the total number of pounds of each type of structure Western anticipates to buy over the next 5 years. And yes, we just want a price per pound. These are the actual estimated quantities.

Western has no way of knowing in advance of a completed design the actual quantities and types of structures or weight or each structure. I suggest you use the sample Type 281S-100 (DE) which you are designing for this proposal as a typical structure.

3. On page 20 of the contract documents, in Section m.8, you all state “Offerors shall send the past performance questionnaires attached to this RFP to their past performance references. The questionnaire recipient will email or fax the completed questionnaire DIRECTLY to the CONTRACTING POINT OF CONTACT listed below NO LATER THAN THE STATED CLOSING

DATE OF THE RFP.”

Answer: Past Performance Questionnaire is included in RP6511WA92383.Attachments.pdf file.
