QUESTION FROM AN INTERESTED SELLER: I was looking over the solicitation for the 30ft office conex and had a couple of questions. 1. Can the same 300sf and room sizes be met but with a different overall footprint say 16ft x 20ft? All other specifications will be met and most would be exceeded. ANSWER FROM CUSTOMER: That won?t work for us. We have a limited amount of space available at the location and the 20 X 16 container would encroach on the limited space we have available. QUESTION FROM AN INTERESTED SELLER: Standard ISO Connex sizes are 8' wide x 8'6" tall x 20' or 40' long. Will the size of 8' wide x 8'6" high x 30'long be sufficient for an alternative size? We would fabricate the 30' length from a 40' long container. RESPONSE: Yes. QUESTION FROM AN INTERESTED SELLER: Is this set aside as small business or open market? RESPONSE: The action is a small business only set-aside. QUESTION AND EXTENSION REQUEST FROM AN INTERESTED SELLER: Question asked and accepted you will accept a unit 60 less SF 8' x 30', the cell area is requested at 10'x 10' so does that need to be 8' x 10' or bigger? RESPONSE: Yes. The dimensions should be uniform throughout the space. REQUEST FROM AN INTERESTED SELLER: Does the container itself have to be New or can it be as is used and painted. RESPONSE: Container should be new. REQUEST FROM AN INTERESTED SELLER: The response to Question #2 stated you would accept a standard container modified to 30ft. The 8'6' height of the standard cube is the outside dimensions. This will only give you 8ft ceilings without framing and insulation which would bring your interior ceiling height to around 7'6". A high cube 9'6" would get you to the 8ft interior height. I just wanted to clarify which ceiling height/container style (standard or high cube) you wanted. Thanks. RESPONSE: Inside dimensions should be 8ft ceilings after framing and insulation. QUESTION FROM AN INTERESTED SELLER: We cannot meet the closing date. We would bid if we can get another week. Richard Hamlet at CARDINAL DESIGN ? BUILD, LLC [DUNS: 809827988]. RESPONSE: Extension was granted. QUESTION FROM AN INTERESTED SELLER: 1. If the conex is acceptable at 8ft wide, what dimension do you want cell area (can't be 10x10) 2. Is there a light in the cell area? If so should it be tamper proof? (do you have a specified light for that area?) 3. Could you please verify what a vertical air conditioning unit is? BTU rating? Heat? 4. The specs call out for textured drywall finishes on walls and ceiling. What is preferred on the cell side for maintenance reasons? 5. Specs call out for the unit to be ground mounted. Is the vendor responsible for the mounting to the ground? If so what type of surface and what is the criteria for attachment. 6. Will the customer be responsible for the off loading of the unit? 7. Who will be responsible for the electrical connections of the unit? Thanks. RESPONSE: Inside dimensions should be uniform throughout, after framing and insulation. Please provide suggested Air Conditioning Unit based on Industry Standards for type of container. Textured drywall finishes should be throughout unit, including cells. Ground mounting will not be required; electrical will not be required. Unit will be delivered to designated point only. QUESTION FROM AN INTERESTED SELLER: In reviewing the SOW for this RFQ we would like to know if you would accept the use of white textured FRP mounted over OSB for the interior in place of the textured drywall specified? RESPONSE: The Border Patrol has not experienced the type of texture you are referring to. Please provide full description with illustration if you decide to bid an alternative interior surface.
