Question 7: Item 0010 5 Piece Dining Set-Looking at the floor layout we only see 3 dining sets per 10 rooms. The qty of 746 listed on the soliciation does not make sense. Where will all of these tables and barstools be placed? Why would you need 2,984 chairs for only 810 soliders?

Answer 7: The floor plan is only one of many, there are a total of 86 common area, each common area is configured differently, there are three types (6-people, 8 people, 10 people).
