Question and Answers from Site Visit: F1S0AQ6292B001

1) Can you please provide the specification for the concrete located on Ramp 7 so we can provide the engineer all applicable information to get valid stamped drawings?

Answer: Assume 2000psi compressive strength. Other option is to core-drill an existing concrete (about three location) and gather more realistic #'S.

2) How old are the current sunshades that are being relocated? There is a manufactures warranty of 10 years on those structures, we would like to know if there is any manufacture warranty left on them.

Answer: They are 15 yrs. old with no current warranty remaining.

3) The solicitation states that a 10 year warranty is required on the sunshades. Does this mean a ten year warranty on the parts that are being replaced (canvas, nuts, bolts, cables, etc) as defined in the solicitation? Or are you looking for the contractor to buy an insurance policy to get an extended warranty on the entire structure, including the parts that are not being replaced and were installed and provided by another contractor and whose manufactures warranty maybe expired?

Answer: We are looking for a full 10 yr. warranty on everything. If unable or unwilling please state as such. We are not specifically requesting a special warranty purchase.
