Solicitation Questions & Answers 908th Electric Munitions Gate 21 September 2026

1. QUESTION: Gate Operators / Gate Configuration The scope mentions one gate at each location:

· One (1) 21 ft x 7 ft gate

· One (1) 25 ft x 7 ft gate However, it also mentions two gate operators for each gate.

Could you please clarify:

· Are the gates designed as bi-parting gates requiring two operators per gate?

· Or is one operator intended as a spare/replacement unit for future use?

· If the gates are bi-parting, does the requirement include:

· Two (2) 21 ft x 7 ft gate sections creating a 21 ft opening, and

· Two (2) 25 ft x 7 ft gate sections creating a 25 ft opening?

ANSWER: Yes, the gates are bi-parting and require two (2) operators (key pads) per gate, four (4) total (one outside and one inside the gate; both on the driver’s side of the driveway) operating much like a garage door opener (one button opens one gate, the other button opens the other gate). The total distance of the openings are one (1) opening of 21 ft x 7 ft and one (1) opening of 25 ft x 7 ft.

2. QUESTION: Gate Operator Brand/Model Requirements Are there any specific requirements or approved manufacturers/models for the gate operators?

If there is no required brand, please confirm whether equivalent commercial gate operators meeting the project requirements will be acceptable.

ANSWER: There are no required brand, manufacturer, or model restrictions. Commercial gate operators are sufficient if they meet the requirement.

3. QUESTION: Keypad / Access Control Requirements The scope mentions a keypad for each gate.

Could you please clarify:

Is the keypad intended to be a standalone keypad access system, or must it integrate with an existing base access control system?

Is the keypad required to be mounted on a gooseneck pedestal, or is another mounting configuration acceptable?

ANSWER: It will be a standalone keypad access system. Gooseneck pedestal would be sufficient, but other options are acceptable as well.

4. QUESTION: Each gate locations mentions one gate (1-21'x 7', 1- 25' x 7'), but it has two operators for each gate. Why two gate operators? Are the gates bi-parting or is one operator just a spare operator for stock. If they are bi-parting is it two 21'x 7' gates and two 25'7' gates or is it two gates for a 21' opening and two gates for a 25' opening?

ANSWER: The keypads; there will be one keypad on each side of each gate on the driver’s side, but either keypad should open the gate after the correct code is typed in. There will not be someone on each side of the gate typing in codes. The gates are currently bi-parting, the distance of the opening for each gate respectively is 21’x7’ and 25’x7’. As the gates currently stand, there are two gates covering each of these openings.
