RFB 18-021-O Amendment 1

Vendor Q&A:

The following questions were received regarding the bid:

Q: [There are a number of lock models available that offer an exterior override with a hard key, yet the batteries are replaced from the inside. The door can be easily opened with the hard key to access the battery replacement from within.] Will Wisconsin State Fair Park accept a lock that has the batteries on the inside?

A: Yes. (Please see additional notes below regarding the change to this requirement.)

Q: What is the lead time after award of contract for completion of the job?

A: We are operating under a hard deadline for project completion of May 1, 2018. It will be a condition of contract award for the awarded bidder to complete the job before this date.

Adjustments to Specifications:

The bid specifications are adjusted as follows:

Specification 3.1.8 is hereby removed from the RFB. Since it is already a requirement that the locksets include a hard key override, WSFP can easily open the door to replace batteries from the inside.

The number of locksets to be provided under Specification 3.2.1 is adjusted to 106 total locksets. 2 of our rooms are used as office space, and do not require new locks to be installed. Furthermore, WSFP conducted a count and determined that the count by door handing is 54 right-handed locks, and 52 left-handed locks. Accordingly, if dress plates will be required as described under Specification 3.2.2, the total number of plates required will be 212.
