QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Consolidated Questions and Answers for Solicitation Amendment Q1: Are 3D models or other technical data files available? If not, is there a visual difference in the wicket quoin stay between the drawing and photos?

A: No, 3D models or other technical data files are not currently available. The blueprints are correct and should be used for fabrication purposes. The photos are inaccurate and will be hereby removed from the solicitation.

Q2: Will there be an option for added funds if patterns have to be repaired or new patterns created?

A: No, USACE will not be providing patterns to the Contractor. Contractor shall be responsible for repairing or creating new patterns.

Q3: Do we have pattern drawings or as-cast drawings to reference expected machining and material removal?

A: No.

Q4: The latest drawings for the Quoin Stay (Sheet ID S-503), some of the surface finishes along with the tolerance on the 1" hole are removed. Is that correct?
