Questions & Government Responses as of 6/16/2016 RFQ SP3300-16-Q-0202

Q1. To store material 60”D and 144”W by 144”H, you will need:

-60” deep uprights and beams approximately 150” wide;

-The beams to support 5,000 lbs./level have a 6” face per level. With 19 levels that will equal 114” vertical of non-usable storage space. To this you need to add 18 openings at 4” each, totaling 72” of storage space;

Add 114” and 72” and you will have approximately =186” (15’-5”) which would require 16’H uprights, not the 12’ height you want. Please advise.

A1. You are assuming standard pallet racks; these are not pallet racks, but are racks designed specifically for sheet steel with operator relocatable storage levels.

Q2. Do you want a solid deck or wire decking?

A2. The structure holds fabricated pallets and doesn't use decking.

Q3. Do you need to meet seismic engineering requirements?
