QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Traffic Signs

Questions & Answers

Question Answer

1. I would like to request that we could have pictures of all three locations including the brackets that hold the signs together.

Photos will be provided after they have been vetted through security.

2. I would also like to confirm that there is no concrete or asphalt to replace on any of the locations

Project Engineer will make 100% sure that there is no concrete/asphalt that needs to be replaced. This information will be included as part of the updated

SOW.

3. Can metal poles be disposed of on-site (WSMR metal yard)?

Project Engineer has confirmed with in-house personnel and all metal signs and posts may be disposed of at the WSMR scrap metal yard. SOW to be updated.

4. If this is possible we would also like to know. I'm guessing the street signs themselves are made out of a fiberglass material, and need to be disposed of off of base? I wasn't sure if they were metal as well.

All signs to include posts are metal and may be disposed of at the WSMR scrap metal yard.

5. Street Name Signs – Height?

9”.

6. Street Name Signs – Length? To accommodate the letter size requested, will a longer, proper length sign blank be approved?

Yes.

7. Yield Signs – Size? The finished size after radius is 27.234”x24.1, will this finished size be considered acceptable?

Yes, this is considered a 30" x 30" x 30".

8. Street Names. Does WSMR want the street name abbreviated exactly as it is in the solicitation or should they be spelled out?

Spelled out.

9. Will all work be performed during the normal duty working hours?

10. The SOW at 11.4.1, Note 1, calls out Signs shall be 24" x 8" with upper-case letters at least 6". Fabricators are stating that lettering size with border might require larger blade per the MUTCD. Please confirm

Signs shall be 24" x 9".

Question Answer

11. Will the posts, square 1.75" x 1.75" x 12', 14 gauge, full punched galvanized steel be acceptable.

12. At pages 25-31 of 62, column (1) Intersections are identified with no street signs Column (2) with @, from, &, near, /, and, corner of. This is only for clarification of location?

On the schedule, column 1 indicates the location of the sign. In most cases, this is an intersection and may require street signs as indicated by column 2. However, some signs are not located at intersections (e.g., Picatinny @ Commissary Parking Lot) and column 1 indicates the location of a sign. The work required at these locations is identified in columns 2 thru 6 of the sign schedule.

If column #2 has a strike through, this means that there are no street name signs needed for this intersection.

The only reason I attached road intersection names (column #1) is for location only.

13. I was wondering if all the street name signs were going to be the same as far as color of letter and color of sign.

Please see Section 11.4.1, note 1 in the SOW.

14. Another thing I noticed is that there was no mentioning of the sleeves that the sign posts slip into. I looked on the schedule B and all it shows is the steel posts, I remember you saying that some locations will take a sleeve. If there are can I get a count of how many signs will need sleeves?

All new posts installed will need a breakaway sleeve.

15. In the solicitation for replacing the traffic signs I don’t see any mention off “break-away” signs, but the Submittal list (8.3.16) requests submittal of NCHP 350 Post Breakaways.

Yes, all sign posts will need breakaway sleeves.

16.Are the sign posts supposed to be breakaway?

All posts will need to have a 2" sleeve that the 1.75" posts ties into.

17. Just want to make sure that I am only require to provide a letter from my bonding company NOT a bid bond as part of our proposal.

Correct. A letter is only needed from the bonding company indicating the offerors ability to obtain performance and payment bonds in the amount of their proposal price.
