SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

W9127821R0021 BW&T SPARE STRUT ARM(S) RFIs

(Q-1) Drawing 12/14 detail "Assembly of Gate Strut" shows item 12/8-1, but there isn't a detail provided. Is this item included in this solicitation?

Item 12/8-1 is not included in this solicitation.

(Q-2) Are items 12/16-9, 12/16-10, 12/16-5, and 12/13-3 to ship crated separately? It appears item 12/8-1 is not a part of this solicitation so it is assumed they will ship separately from the Strut Assembly.

There is no requirement to ship anything separately, but it is allowable.

(Q-3) Is a bid bond required for this solicitation? If so, can you please provide Section 00 70 00 as noted on page 20 of 34?

Section 00 70 00 refers to clause FAR 52.228-16 Performance and Payment Bonds-Other Than Construction.

This clause will be place when award is made after the amount of award is known.

(Q-4) There are three steel castings required for the Gate Strut: 12/14-2, 12/15-5 and 12/15-6. Are patterns available for these castings?

No.

(Q-5) If one or more of the 4 optional Arms are ordered, will those options be all exercised at the same time?.

See explanation of bid options.

ON SHEET 12/14 OF THE DRAWING THE MARKS 12/8-1 AND 11/19-7 Appear. Are these items to be furnished or are they existing parts of the existing infrastructure?

Item 12/8-1 is not included in this solicitation. Item 11/19-7 is the Vertical Gate Strut Pin located on sheet 11/19.

This paint spec is cited for the strut only. Are the steel castings to be painted in the same manner?

Yes The contractor may prefer to utilize foam pattens for the steel castings. Is this acceptable and does it relieve the contractor of making wood patterns?

The UFGS requires wood patterns.

This spec. refers to "designated welds". As only the strut is a welded component, what welds are designated and How does the requirement to NDT 50% of welds apply?

Due to the small number of welds involved in this contract, all welds should be tested, visual and MT.

If the foundry is incapable of performing the NDT cited, can this be performed at a remote site?

Yes, the NDT can be performed at a remote site. The testing agency must meet all requirements listed in Spec 05 50 14, section 2.2.

We cannot find the material for the cast bearing. Can substitute A-36 or A572-50 plate vs cast iron?

A572 Grade 50 will be a suitable replacement for the cast steel.

A no-build condition exists in the machining of this 12/14-2 casting. The planning pads are not accessible to be machined from the sides of the casting as casting structure stands in the way. Possible at the sector end the pads could be broached by a very costly process but this is not possible at the gate end as bosses for the horizontal strut pins stand in the way.

The government has many of these strut arms currently in use that were fabricated between 1950 and 1990 and all in accordance with these same plans. Therefore, the government does not intend to revise the plans.
