16. Question: We do not believe it is possible to swage a BEARING with steel tubing 7‐gauge wall thickness, as the tubing would crack.

Options: 1. Provide a 2‐1/2” Diameter Roller with 11‐gauge wall thickness tubing which would still provide the minimum load capacity of the roller – 550 lbs.

2. Keep the 7‐gauge wall thickness tubing specification and allow reaming to be acceptable?

Answer: The offeror is allowed to do either of the 2 options proposed. (Please see revision 1 for Appendix H and Drawing NJC109‐04 posted to SAM along with this document.)
