This modification hereby answers the following questions:

Q: On item 00042, VNR0050, it indicates a panel dimension of 1.34 x 4 x 8. Can you confirm the panel thickness? I suspect it wanted to read 1/32", not 1.34. Can you please confirm?

A: Yes it should read 1/32”

Q: When I look at the sample request it asks for Fire Rated, FSC, No Added Urea Formaldehyde, Moisture Resistant core. Do you want what the sample request says (which I don't know if there exists a single core with all of those attributes) or do you want something representative of the individual specified items?

A: All particleboard products on this solicitation as well as samples must meet the following M-2 Particleboard ANSI A 208.1-1999 specifications.

Length and Width Tolerance: +/- 0.080 inch Thickness Tolerance Panel Avg. from specified: +/- 0.008 inch Thickness Tolerance Variance from Panel Avg.: +/- 0.004 inch Modulus of Rupture 2103 psi Modulus of Elasticity: 326,300 psi Internal Bond: 65 psi Hardness: 500 pounds Screw Holding Face: 225 poundsScrew Holding Edge: 202 pounds Linear Expansion: 0.35 percent Flammability: ASTM E 84 - Flame Spread Index Shall Not Exceed 25 Green Spec listed - Green Seal Recommended - Forest Stewardship Council Certified (SW -COC-l. 40) 100% Recycled Woods Formaldehyde Free Emissions Mold and Mildew Resistant Water Resistant Q: On all particleboard you ask for ANSI A208.1-1999 M-2 specifications. For part numbers PRB0026 and PRB0100 you are asking for screw holding of 300 lbs face, 250 lb edge, and M.O.R. 2103 PSI all of which exceed ANSI A208.1 for M-2 particleboard.

A: Please see above specifications for all particleboard specification to meet M-2 Particleboard ANSI A208.1-1999

Q: Should we bid per the ANSI A208.1-1999, M-2 Industrial spec on all items?

We have suppliers that exceed the ANSI specs but do not meet the above specs.

A: Please submit your proposal in accordance with the specifications for M-2 Particleboard ANSI A208.1-1999

Q: Award 2 sample calls for PRB0026, could we submit a sample of that for Award 1 as well?

A: No, PRB0026 is 1 1/8” thick board. Award 1 specifies four (4) samples of ¾”x12”x12”

Since these are different thicknesses, you can not submit PRB0026 as the sample for Award 1.

This solicitation deadline for offer submission and samples is hereby extended until 2:00 pm EST on Wednesday August 25, 2010.

Except as provided herein, all other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
