もし輸入材が要求される場合、材料費と別途輸送コストが必要

となります。数量によってはこの輸送費の割合が大きくなる可

能性がありますが、どのようにコスト分配をすべきかご教示く

ださい。 If imported material is required, there will be a separate transport cost needed to the material cost. The proportion of transport costs could be significant depending on the quantity. I would appreciate it if you could indicate how the costs should be distributed.

I recommend potential shipping costs for paint and beads be included and spread out in the unit price for the paint. Ex. If 1 gallon of paint covers 10 square meters, and it cost 20$ to ship one gallon from the states, then $20/10SM = $2 per SM. Increase your unit price of paint per SM by $2. Just an example.

請負業者の業務としてF-103等の申請業務は含まれますか？ Does the contractor's work include the filing of F-103s and other applications?

5 Section 32 17 23

There is no description with paint color. On the attachment 2 price list as well. I believe each color have different material cost.

Would you provide what color to be used for the price list?

It is not our intent to identify a cost for each color. 1 Cost shall cover the potential to use any standard pavement color. White is going to be the majority of the color that is used, but we may also require other standard pavement colors such as black, yellow, and red. Recommend pricing for the most expensive color, and then bidding lower for each task order if a cheaper color is required. Or set an average price that the contractor is comfortable with, knowing that the majority of the work will be white paint.

6 Section 32 17 23
