Conex Refurbishment Requirement

02 Sept 2026

1. QUESTION: If you use a standard sealer for marine grade plywood it is not slip resistant and not effective in preventing water intrusion and wood deterioration. Over time which is the current existing condition the container has now. Marine grade wood sealers are not design for constant traffic that these units will see which is why the floor now needs repairs. Those floors had this sealer when they were originally built and you can see the condition they are in now. We hope that you require the 2-part expoxy slip resistant coating on both the replaced component flooring and the existing flooring to provide for slip and long-term floor protection, it is our intention to provide this in our proposal.

ANSWER: This is acceptale. See updated SOR para. 2.1.1.

2. QUESTION: Section 2.4.1 - We are to price the requirement to scrape and repaint interior wall and ceiling to be included in the base price, but we are to add the exterior repainting as an optional CLIN. Repainting the exterior should not be an optional CLIN as the window frame and window replacement, door sealing and repair, container sealing will all require painting and rust mitigation. The container should then be required to be primed and repainted to achieve the life cycle you want to achieve on this project.

ANSWER: There is no requirement for exterior painting.

3. QUESTION: To reduce the cost of money for this proposal would be possible to have separate line items for each of the 4 areas.

AREA NAME

1 COV

2 DELTA

3 BRAND

4 ALPHA

This will reduce the cost of money and lower the project pricing. The award can still be made on the total aggregate pricing for the entire project.

ANSWER: Yes. See updated Schedule of Supplies/Services.

Restore all window and door frames to provide a complete weatherproof seal when closed. – This is only a specification on the actual window

“glass” material. Are these windows to be manufactured or are they to be built? If built, do you have a specification for the window frame? If manufactured, do you have a specification for the manufactured window? There were several different types of existing windows and window frames. Do you have a specification on the new door hardware?
