Solicitation: DTFH71-16-B-00018

The purpose of this Amendment is to:

Provide a summary of responses to questions/clarifications asked by potential bidders.

The Bid Opening date of March 8, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. will remain the same.

Questions/Clarifications

Bidders can send written questions or inquiries for clarification to: eflhd.contracts@dot.gov.

Questions can be submitted at any time, but questions submitted within 7 days of the bid opening may not be answered in time for the bidder to properly incorporate the responses into their bids.

The following questions and issues were submitted via email. The Government response or clarification is provided. Due to the repetitive nature of several questions and issues, the wording of the questions may have been revised and some questions have not been included.

The Government’s direct response to the sender may also have been updated below for better clarity.

1. Material shown is 2" tube x 1/4" wall. We would suggest a pipe size either 1.5" or 2"

Schedule 40 pipe (1.9" or 2.375" OD).

The base plates shown are not standard flat bar sizes. We would suggest 4" or 5" wide rather than the 4.5" specified and 3" rather than the 3.125" specified for the bottom rail connection plate.

The bottom rail shows an internal solid aluminum sleeve at the wall connection. Exterior aluminum sleeve would be more economical. Also, welding the solid aluminum slug and getting good penetration / fusion between the two different thicknesses of material may be more problematic.

Response: Reasonable modifications to the features mentioned (handrail posts, handrail baseplates, and bottom rail wall connection) can be submitted according to Subsection

104.03 of the FP (standard specifications) during construction and will be evaluated during the Government’s shop drawing submittal review.

2. There is no finish specified so we are assuming "mill finish" with welds lightly buffed to remove sharp edges and burrs. This is not a polished finish.

Response: A polished finish is not required. An appearance grade finish is required. The finish should be included in the construction shop drawing submittal.
