P U R P O S E

THE PURPOSE of this amendment is to address the following questions raised during the Q&A period and incorporate necessary clarifications and/or requests into Exhibit B.

Question:

1. Do the end users require individually adjustable barrel saddles with a fully slotted back panel?

Answer:

1. Yes, we would like adjustable barrel saddles.

Question:

2. Is a retainer cord necessary on the barrel saddle to ensure weapon security?

Answer:

2. Yes, a retainer cord would be nice to have for any storage more than 5 feet off the ground. If they are being stored at floor level, then probably not required.

3. Are weapon holders required to secure both the front and rear of each rifle buttstock and provide an angled storage configuration?

Answer:

3. The rifles will be stored at a slight angle. If there is a foot piece where the stock can rest in so that the rifles do not slip out, that would be great

4. Is a reinforced back panel necessary to prevent shelving deformation or deflection under the weight of stored weapons?

Answer:

4. Only if it is necessary dependent on the shelving material proposed. It is critical the racks do not bend under the weight of the firearms.

5. Is vertical weapon storage required? (buttstock down and barrel up)

SOLICITATION NO.– AMENDMENT NO. WSP EO235138 PAGE | 2

Answer:

5. Yes, rifles will be stored vertically at an angle, with the stock resting in some sort of seat so that it does not slip out and/or off the shelf.

Question:

6. Are pistol pegs the desired storage solution for the handguns?

Answer:

6. Rubber sleeved pegs would be ideal, with a variation of different size pegs. The pegs need to slightly smaller than .22 (for the smaller caliber firearms) and slightly smaller than .45 (for the larger caliber firearms). The pegs need to withstand the weight of the firearm hanging off of this peg.

7. Are full-height steel end panels required for the mobile carriage system to conceal the gearboxes?

7. Yes.

Question:

8. Are industry-standard 5-inch diameter wheels preferred?

Answer:

8. Yes, go with industry standard.

Question:

9. Is wood decking required in-between tracks?

Answer:

9. It does not have to be wood but we would like raised floor decking to make the tracks flush so there is no tripping hazard. It should look like it matches the room and the shelving. It will need to withstand regular foot traffic.

10. Is Rubber Matting required to cover the wood decking?

Answer:

10. If the decking is wood, a rubber, or similar, mat would be ideal. Something with traction with some give for standing and walking.

11. Is an ADA entry ramp required in the front of the system?

11. Not at this time.

12. Is Anti-tip track required since the state of Washington is in a seismic zone?

14. Does the track require leveling, anchoring, and grouting for secure installation on the slab

14. Yes.

15. Exhibit B calls for the shelves to be lockable by key when not in use, considering the secure nature of this space, is a key lock required for the carriage system?

15. No, a keyed lock is not required. Each carriage must be equipped with an industry-standard safety lock to prevent the shelving from moving on its own and guard against it being collapsed while someone is inside the aisle.

16. We can receive shipments, but the vendor is responsible for removal of all trash.
