RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS

Q. 11) Specification 11285, Page 12, Paragraph 2.2.3 Torquenut specifies Superbolt, Inc. or approved equal manufacturer.

Question: Superbolt, Inc offers many different material types, and coatings for torque nuts. What material type is needed for the torque nut? Should the torque nut have a coating furnished by Superbolt?

A. 11) The torquenuts shall be capable of withstanding a maximum allowable stress of 45,000 psi in the diagonals, the torquenut can be stainless or coated, if coated, touchups should be performed to the nut after adjustments are made using the smaller jack-bolts.

Q. 12) On drawing sheet # S-2001, the 3/8" thick bulkhead plate that is welded to downstream flange has no weld detail.

A. 12) S-2003 shows a double V full Penetration

Q. 13) On drawing sheet # S-3004, Detail 2 shows the bulkhead plate welding to the outside of downstream flange.

On drawing S-2001 shows the bulkhead plate welding to the edge of downstream flange. Does the bulkhead plate weld to the inside of flange, or to the edge of flange? A. 13) S-2003 shows a double V full Penetration

Q. 14) On drawing sheet # S-3004, Detail 2, and Mk# LPI-5004-1, Drawing S-5004 wasn't issued with bid package, does drawing S-5004 exist?

A. 14) Dwg S-5004 is not used in this bid package

Q. 15) The J-Seal on drawing S-3004 for Girder #1, what is total length of the J-seal on (1) leaf? What does the J-seal on top girder contact with for sealing?

A. 15) The J-seal in this detail has not been detailed, it is to create seal along the bulkhead plate. The seals on opposing leaves meet.

Q. 16) On drawing sheet # S-3002, typical girder detail section A designates the web plate as 3/8" plate. On drawing sheet # S-3003, section B detail designates the web plate on G1 is 1/2" plate. Is the web plate on G1, 1/2" plate or 3/8" plate?

A. 16) The top and bottom girder are ½” plate webs, the balance of the girders are 3/8 inch web plates

Q. 17) On drawing sheet # S-3005 no weld splices are shown on web plates. Is the girder web plate thickness the same thru the entire length of girder web, or are do the web plates have thicker plates on the end of each girder?

A. 17) The web thicknesses are the same throughout the girder length

Q. 18) What is the approved method for the telegraphic bid (e-mail address, fax number, etc.)

A. 18) Bids are not being accepted by email or fax transmittal. Telegraphic bids through a company that offers telegram services are acceptable.

Q. 19) Does the Government want a price for shipping each gate individually or shipping all gates (if the options are exercised) at once? There is a significant (4 fold) price difference in these two options.

A. 19) The contract is structured such that there is only one delivery in Oct 2010. The only difference is how many leaves will be shipped. Each leaf awarded will be stored until that time. So 1 leaf will need one barge, the 2nd leaf will go in that barge, the 3rd and 4th will require a second barge.

W911WN-08-B-0009
