About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document providing clarifications on a parking sign installation project at MacDill AFB involving USSOCOM.
The project requires installation of 112 eight-foot U-channel posts and mounting of 228 total parking signs (40 handicap and 188 reserved). Of the signs, 120 will be post-mounted on the newly installed U-channel posts, while 108 will be wall-mounted on existing structures. The U-channel posts must be 12-foot-long square telescopic steel tubing, 12-gauge heavy duty steel with galvanized coating and architectural brown finish. Posts feature pre-punched 3/8-inch holes spaced 1 inch on center down all four sides and must be installed at least 2 feet into the ground with maximum 7 feet of post exposure above ground. Sign mounting height is 5 feet with 10-foot spacing between posts. Handicap signs require .080-inch aluminum while reserved parking signs require .063-inch aluminum. Installation work is limited to outside normal business hours (Monday-Friday 1800L-0500L or Saturday-Sunday 0000L-2359L), with preference for weekend work when parking space availability is unrestricted. Posts may be driven directly into ground or set in concrete depending on surface conditions; core drilling is preferred for installations involving asphalt or concrete. The contractor is responsible for completing AF Form 103 (digging permit) for utility coordination, available from Building 11. No existing posts or signs require removal, though if any existing handicap signs are removed during installation, they must be replaced with newer signs. Standard galvanized mounting bolts and hardware are acceptable. Base access requires normal MacDill AFB requirements including tanker way inspections.

Questions- Parking Signs- Answers in RED.
1. Q. Will the 112 U-Channel posts be installed in pavement/concrete or in soil? All pavement/concrete or in soil.
2. Q.The SOW references installation of 112 posts and mounting of 220 total signs (40 Handicap + 180 Reserved). Can you confirm whether the remaining 108 signs will be mounted on existing posts already in place on campus, or is there a discrepancy in the quantities as stated? The remaining 108 signs will be wall mounted.
3. Q.For the Reserved Parking Signs, will any of the 180 signs be wall-mounted rather than post-mounted? If so, please indicate the approximate quantity. The remaining 108 will be wall mounted.
4. Q.Are there any restrictions on working hours, or may the contractor perform installation during standard business hours (e.g., Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM)?
Work is limited to outside normal business hours (i.e., work can be performed M-F between 1800L-0500L or Sat.-Sun. between 0000L-2359); request work is performed on the weekend, no restriction on parking space availability

7. Q.The Statement of Work specifies .080 aluminum for the handicap parking signs, while the CLIN Schedule specifies .063 aluminum. Please confirm the required aluminum thickness. There was an error on the CLIN structure attachment, it should be .80 Aluminum for the handicap signs, and .63 for the Reserved Parking Signs.
