Site Visit Can you please issue a copy of the site visit attendees? Answer 2. We do not share the site visit attendee list. Question 3. Ref. Technical In section V. Instruction to Offerors part II. and III. It's requesting an excel spreadsheet for Pricing and Labor Categories. Is there a specific format that is required by DHS? Answer 3. Disregard you an submit pricing on the SF 1449 or submit within your proposal. Question 4. Ref. Wage Scale Is there a wage scale requirement for this project? Answer 4. No because the service part of the contract is the installation of the supply being purchased. Question 5. Ref. Pg. 2 Task 1 #10 Is this secure storage provided by DHS at no cost to the contractor? Approximately how far is the storage yard from job for remobilization of Barriers? Answer 5. Task refers to government facility in Laurel, MD which is approximately 20 miles from the project site. Question 6. Ref. Pg. 2 Task 2 #8 Can you provide us with more information on Extra Adornment? Answer 6. See Question 1. Question 7. Any road closure or special permits is required, please advise? Answer 7. There will be an internal permitting process with National Park Service required. DC permits will not be required. Question 8. Can we propose plastic finials in lieu of cast? Answer 8. Plastic Finials are acceptable as long as they maintain a similar appearance to cast ones. Question 9. As discussed, during the walkthrough, can you provide clarification on the SOW regarding the connection system? In the SOW it calls for a 1 ½" rod to slide between loops of rebar protruding from the barriers. However, the rebar shown would be a weak point as they are not as large as the rods themselves. Also, the way they are shown to adjoin, there would have to be a several inch gap between sections to allow for any turning radius. Also, what type of bar shall protrude, i.e. Galvanized, epoxy, stainless, or just plain black. The same with the connector pin. My suggestion although cost could be an issue, is galvanized or stainless be used as it will hold up much longer while exposed to the elements. Answer 9. The connector hook should not extrude more than 2" from the exterior of the barrier and should be made of ¾" galvanized steel. The minimum amount of rotation provided show be 9.5o as shown below. To increase the capability of the loops, we have extended the development length of 2', double the length of what is shown in the RFP. The connecting material should be made of galvanized steel and should be a ¾" thick pin with a cap.
