Vendor Questions and Answers – Solicitation W9127825QA013
1. We would like to know if this is a brand-new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services?
Answer: This is a brand-new contract. There was not an incumbent performing fence repair/renovation services.
2. Is there a cost estimate, budget or ballpark figure for the project listed?
Answer: We do not have a clear cost estimate/budget at this time, only current market research that has been completed. This is the reason for this RFI, to gather information/data on the fence repairs and hold a site visit for venders. The site visit’s intent was to help interested parties gather an estimate and submit a quote/proposal during the solicitation phase should a solicitation result.
3. Is there an actual start date for the project?
Answer: There is not a start date scheduled at this time. We are hopeful to start the fence repair/renovations early November.
4. Regarding subcontractor(s):
a. Does the subcontractor have to have any specialty licenses? (Such as heavy equipment operator license) Answer: That is up to the discretion of the Prime contractor.
b. Does subcontractor have to have an LLC?
c. Does subcontractor have to have workman’s comp or other insurance?
d. If subcontractor does not have any of the above would signing a liability waiver suffice for them to be able to do the job?
5. Ditch Barrier and how many? Are they just requesting pipe to be installed in between posts to better secure the area?
Answer: There is only one ditch barrier. See photos. A ditch that passes under the perimeter fence on the north side of entry gate needs to be blocked to prevent entry but allow water to flow under the fence. Gap is approximately 10-feet x 1-foot. The contractor’s solution for enclosure shall be submitted for approval. Existing gap closure method uses strands of barbed wire, secured on either end by a partially buried piece of line post set in concrete.
6. Fence Securement? I am assuming this would be tie wires, can you verify.
Answer: Fence Securement will be used in the event of fence sections with excessive movement at the bottom (after tension wire repair) and shall have two 36-inch galvanized rebar stakes driven 24-inch into the ground and secured to the fence and tension wire. The stakes will be evenly spaced between the line posts. Sections with “excessive movement” shall be evaluated and selected by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) after tension wire repairs. Each fence section will be secured with (2) stakes. This contract line item consists of securing an estimated 25 fence sections with (2) stakes each, totaling 50 stakes.
7. Is just the barbed wire and fence being replaced or just the BARBED WIRE?
Answer: There will be no replacement of chain link fence. Items to be replaced as part of this contract include line posts, barbed wire arms, tension wire, barbed wire, and a ditch barrier.
