Question Answer Please confirm the extent of the solid wood requirement. Specifically, is solid timber required for cabinet backs, drawer bottoms and dust panels, or may these concealed components be plywood, as is normal practice in solid hardwood furniture of this class?

Requirement has been updated. Please see amendment 01

Solid timber exhibits natural variation in colour and grain, and moves seasonally with changes in humidity. Please confirm that such natural variation and movement will not be treated as a defect under the two-year guarantee at SOW 2.6.

Section has been updated. Please see amendment 01

SOW 2.2.3 requires a wardrobe for the private bathroom capable of withstanding bathroom conditions, including steam from a shower. Solid timber is particularly vulnerable in that environment. Please confirm whether the Government requires solid wood for this unit notwithstanding, or will accept a moisture-resistant construction finished to match the remaining furniture.

Requirement has been updated. Please see amendment 01

We confirm we are awaiting the floor plans of the offices, and should be grateful to receive them as early as possible, as all furniture dimensions depend upon them.

Measurements of Room 278 have been attached to amendment 01.

We should also be grateful for photographs of the spaces and of the existing furniture, which would assist both our design proposal and our assessment of the removal scope.

During site visit only photos of the existing furniture where asked for. Those will be provided.

SOW 1.2.4 requires removal of the existing furniture. Please confirm where the existing furniture is to be taken. Specifically, is the Contractor responsible for delivering it to another location, and if so, where is that location and is it on or off the installation? Alternatively, is the Contractor to dispose of it commercially off base at its own expense, or to turn it in to a Government facility?

Requirement has been updated. Please see amendment 01

SOW 1.1 identifies the installation location as Bldg 442B, Admin III, while the delivery and inspection block specifies Bldg 415, Capodichino. Please confirm the correct location for delivery and for installation.

Address in SOW is the correct address. The system does not let us update the address that pops up in the acceptance/inspection and delivery portion.

SOW 2.2.5 lists a glass whiteboard cover but does not list a whiteboard. Please confirm whether a whiteboard is required in that office.

Requirement has been updated. Please see amendment 01

SOW 2.2.7 states "Glass whiteboard (privacy, need dims)". Please provide the required dimensions.

Requirement has been updated. Please see amendment 01

Please confirm the deadline for submission of further questions, given the extension of the closing date.
