Sheet1
| # | Question | Response |
| 1 | What is the unit of measure in the first list for January? Each or board feet? | Each (Stick) |
| 2 | Is this soft wood or hard wood? | Not listed as such, goes by species as listed in the ASTM D6199-18a, Table 1. Material listed in attachment two is the required wood for the category listed. |
| 3 | What grade of surfacing is required? S4S or rough? | S4S |
| 4 | Can we substitute Douglas Fir for CLINs 1-3? They are currently listed as Pine on the PWS. | Follow ASTM D6199-18a, Table 1, Group I |
| 5 | CLINs 7, 8, and 9 are listed on the Order Sheet as Green Treated ACQ but not heat treated. However, in the PWS these CLINs are listed as Green Treated and KDHT. Please confirm whether or not CLINS 7, 8, and 9 should be KDHT? | CLINS 7, 8 ,9 -- Not required to be heat treated. |
| 6 | What is the unit issue for the QTY column on the Order Sheet, is it each or board foot? | Each (Stick) |
| 7 | ISPM 15/IPPC is specifically for packaging - not the lumber you would be ordering itself. According to the ISPM website - packaging is defined as 'crates, boxes, packing cases, dunnage, pallets, cable drums, and spools/reels made from sawn lumber products.' Even if you are ordering lumber 'to make' some of these items - you would be ordering it with a grade stamp from one of the grading agencies -- and the material would not be subject to ISPM rules. The lumber you have specified is all KDHT - and one way to make certain the lumber is not transmitting bacteria or bugs is with the heat treatment -- with the HT. Without being impertinent, it would appear item '1.1 Standards' on 'Attachment 2' needs to be reworded to clarify. | ISPM 15/IPPC states how the lumber must be treated for international shipment applications. No change to this statement at this time. |
| 8 | Is there any variance in the quantity? ie +5% or ? sometimes nearing to the 'unit size' is less expensive than having to 'break a unit' | To the nearest full bunk is preferred. Plus or minus to the nearest full bunk. Will try to order in quantities of a full bunk. |
| 9 | On 2.0 PWS - three lumber are pine (1x ..) and the rest are Doug Fir. Will you accept another softwood specie in lieu of Doug Fir? It would likely be a white wood -- | Follow a ASTM D6199-18a, Table 1 |
| 10 | Green Treated ACQ " Pressure treated lumber is treated with Alkaline Copper Quaternary is no longer available an is prohibited by environmental regulations. ProWood CA-C (Copper Azole type C) preservative - This CA-C is now the accepted and legal standard. Is CA-C acceptable to deliver instead of AQC? | Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) as a preservative in treated lumber in residential and commercial construction in an effort to reduce the use of arsenic and increase safety. Alkaline Copper Quaternary (ACQ) is a non-arsenic wood preservative that has become the treated lumber industry's answer to this EPA requirement.ACQ is acceptable per EPA guidelines and is what we are currently receiving. |
