Questions from Vendors:

1. If delivery is done with a flat bed truck, do we unload the slabs, or does the vendor need to unload them.

2. Can the slabs be stronger than 3000 psi, or do they have to be 3000 psi?

Answer: It can be higher, but no more than 4,000 psi

3. Do you have a schedule of when you would want deliveries for this year? Id school dates

Answer: It can be one shipment/ prefer two....initial (half) and balance in 6 months or upon notification

4. Do you want pricing per slab with delivery feel or a set amount per delivery?

5. Would there be bi‐weekly, quarterly, or just random shipments?

Answer: It can be one shipment/ prefer two....initial (half) and balance in 6 months or upon notification

6. The vendor is stating that the slab would be about a 1/2 less, does this matter, or does it have to be exactly 6 inches thick?

Answer: 1/2" is less is ok

7. Does the hook have to be a steel cable or can it be made out of rebar?

Answer: Steel cable is required

8. Is there a specification for the spacing between the rebar members fro the concrete slabs?

Answer: Yes, a square of rebar 6” from the border is all that is required

9. The specification calls for 6” from the outer edges, but I am not sure if the 6” spacing applies to internal member spacing as well, is there a minimum size steel cable handle desired?

Answer: 3/8” cable is suitable (as long as the cable is rated stronger than the concrete pad weight)

The cable loop must be large enough for a fork of a fork truck to lift and use /move the block. Loop should anchor to concrete approximately 8” spacing in the center on a dege, 6” height of loop should be enough to allow the thickness of the fork to pass through the cable loop and pick up the slab.
