Q A_(Updated_12-28-15).docx

Q: The Scope of Work indicates the fence is to be constructed using "FE6 driven post(s)", while the FE6 chain-link security fence details drawing attached as attachment "1", indicate posts shall be set in concrete. Can you please clarify the intended design of the fence, whether the posts are to be driven, or set in concrete?

A: Driven

Q: The fence specs pg 4/44 states that the wire is 7' 9 ga gbw 2" mesh, and further clarifies that gbw means galvanized before weld. The standard FE-6 fence design is a chain link product, which is available in both galvanized after WEAVING (GAW) and galvanized before WEAVING(GBW). The clarification that this is a welded product is not consistent with the drawings. Should that note read galvanized before weaving in order to have a chain link fence supplied?

A: Please read note as meaning "galvanized before weaving." Corrected via Amendment 0001.

Q: All pipe sizes on the specification (pg 4/44) are called out as being provided in SS40 pipe. The additional clarification lists this material designation as SS40- Stainless Steel Schedule 40 Pipe. The standard fence pipe, which is a domestically produced light weight high tensile strength, designated SS40 (see attached product data sheet), leads to some confusion. I am not aware of any chain link fences that are currently produced or specified with stainless steel pipe. Can you please clarify what type of post is desired?

A: Standard fence pipe SS40 is desired. Corrected via Amendment 0001.

Q: The FE-6 fence designation points to a specific style of fence, i.e. "chain link fence with barbed wire on a single outrigger". However, there is typically a further type designation clarifying framing and bracing methods (see LEGEND on note 1 of the provided FE-6 security fence drawing). Please clarify which designated finish you would like to be used on this project.

A: TWB - tension wire top and bottom. Corrected via Amendment 0001.

Q: Both locations requiring fence show the lines of fence going through tree lines. Will there be any clearing or grading needed to complete the work or will this be performed by others? Also, will we be required to have the lines surveyed / staked, or will this be performed by others as well?

A: No clearing required. We are clearing the areas prior to the fence install.

Q: Item No. 0002 refers to repairing approx. 1500ft of existing fence with only repositioning posts. Does this suggest that no posts will be required to be replaced? Is there a percentage of fence mesh that you anticipate being replaced. 1500 LF of fence is a large quantity to guess on how much there is to be repaired.

A: No new posts required for the existing 1500 feet. The fence is in good shape but has fallen over in a few places. Posts just need to be reset.
