Attachment 2 - Questions-Answers.pdf

Amendment 01

1. The purpose of this amendment is to make public the questions that were received regarding the subject solicitation and provide answers. This document will be saved under "Attachment 2 – Question Answers".

2. The questions and answers regarding the subject solicitation are as follows:

Question 1: Can you please tell me if there is an incumbent or if this is a new requirement?

Answer 1: New Requirement

Question 2: Do the heights, 9 ft and 7ft respectfully, refer to the deck height or do they refer to the top of the 42" handrail?

Answer 2: The height refers to the deck height, the 42” handrail allows you to raise and lower them to adjust for the height of the fuel tank.

Question 3.1: Per 5.a. Can you please describe and define "Deck sliders with Rubber Bumpers" and the intent of these?

Answer 3.1: The Deck sliders with Rubber Bumpers are the adjustable sections on the stand to fine tune up to an aircraft surface such as an engine or the fuselage. This will prevent any gaps and will provide fall protection for our members to reach the aircraft from any section of the maintenance stand.

Question 3.2: Can you provide pictures of the concept you are describing?

Answer 3.2: Unfortunately, there are not any pictures of the deck sliders themselves.

Question 4: Per 8. - " OSHA Compliant Height adjustable Stairs & Ships Ladder":

Are BOTH Stairs and Ships Ladder required for each stand?

- For example, will each stand have one set of stairs AND one Ships Ladder?

- Or, is the selection of EITHER OSHA compliant stairs OR Ships Ladder left to the discretion of the awardee?

Answer 4: Yes, each stand will require both adjustable stairs and ship ladders to accommodate the height difference of the wings, depending on fuel loads and aircraft weight and balance. The height of the wing can vary drastically and will require us to work from multiple different elevations.
