Communications (BUEC) Site, Bakersville, PA

THIS AMENDMENT IS BEING ISSUED TO INCORPORATE THE FOLLOWING

INFORMATION INTO THE REFERENCED SOLICITATION

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. QUESTION: Please tell us the spec you are wanting for the tower lighting at this site? Do you have a preferred lighting company? And are we to assume we will get power for it from within your existing shelter from an existing power source?

FAA ANSWER: Please reference Section 3.3 TOWER KIT SHALL INCLUDE Appendix B – TOWER DESIGN in Specification ANTENNA TOWER INSTALLATION, BUEC Site, Bakersville, PA. Also, please reference Note A SITE ELEVATION C001 from Drawing Page C-001. “INSTALL 1" GRSC WITH 3, #12

THWN FROM SHELTER AC PANEL TO PLATFORM OB-LIGHT ATTACHED TO

CABLE TRAPEZE”

2. QUESTION: Do we need to supply and install (1) Hoffman box on the tower and (1) in the existing equipment shelter?

FAA ANSWER: YES; as shown on drawings.

3. QUESTION: Do we need to put down weed barrier and rock the new expanded compound or will this be completed by others?

FAA ANSWER: NO; no such work indicated on drawings.

4. QUESTION: • The RFP calls out fab drawings. We will be more than happy to provide our standard tower erection drawings for the tower but it is company policy that we don’t release any fab drawings. Are you ok with this? In the past the FAA has come back and said that our standard erection drawings were fine. But the verbiage is in the provided SOW so I just wanted to bring this up again.

FAA ANSWER: We do need to see the shop/fabrication drawings specifically for the; platform access hatch, antenna mount swing arm locations, swing arm fabrication and Operation. If this is shown in standard erection drawings, then that is acceptable. In the past, we have had swing arms that do not pull in properly, or are very hard to manipulate, we wish to avoid this problem once fabricated and in the field, so prefer to address during design/fabrication submittal process.

AMENDMENT 0003 DTFAEN-16-R-00130

5. QUESTION: On Page 3 of the Drawings, there is a note stating that the tower should be design to be shipped in “knocked down” fashion to be assembled in the field. But in two places in the Specs, it states the tower is to be shipped in sections either 20 ft, 10 ft, etc.

sections.

FAA ANSWER: To clarify; the tower can be shipped in “knocked down” sections, which in turn would be pieces of steel members ranging in lengths of; 30ft, 20ft, 10ft, 5ft, etc… as required to obtain desired tower height once assembled. If, the tower manufacturer and the on-site contractor wish to pre-assemble the tower and ship it in “assembled” sections; that is acceptable as well.
