Amendment 0003

SP3300-12-Q-0102

This Amendment 0003 is being issued to provide answers to contractor submitted questions and shall become a part of any resultant contract.

Question #1: Does the Government own the Patent rights to these carts? If not, how can we as bidders be sure we are not infringing on SI Systems Patent if the carts need to be built to the same specifications?

Answer #1: No the Government does not own the rights. But a company can reverse engineer the cart. The Government cannot supply drawings but the drawing a vendor creates will belong to that vendor.

Question #2: The SOW indicates the weight is to be maintained at 835 pounds (+/-5 pounds). Why is the weight of 835 pounds so critical?

Answer #2: Yes the weight must be maintain within those parameters set forth. The reason being is cart weighed with material and a tare weight is included.

Question #3: SOW: Item 2.1,g. Is the height of 21" a critical hold dimension?

Answer #3: Yes the height must be maintain within those parameters set forth. The reason being is due to the transfer of material from point-to-point.

Question #4: Can the final design utilize standard channel, angle and tubing shapes in lieu of bent/formed plates?

Answer #4: That really depends on where the changes are being applied. Things to consider, structure of the cart (can it handle the day to day abuse). Understand this cart will take constant abuse. It must be built in a fashion that will be structurally sound weight of the cart (how does this affect the overall weight) Remember the weight must be maintained as described in the SOW Height of the cart, height must be maintain as described in the SOW.

NOTE: The cutoff date for submissions of questions is SEPTEMBER 11, 2012 AT 3:00PM EST. TIME. Questions received after this date and time will not be answered.

The closing date for submission of quotes shall remain as SEPTEMBER 14, 2012 AT 3:00PM

EST. TIME.
