Description

Questions and Answers: Q1: The specification references an example photo related to the feed trough and head-hole configuration. Could you please provide the referenced photo or any additional images available? A1: A document with photos of a couple of options for this is attached. Q2:Is either configuration acceptable for award: 60 single cages, or 30 double cages? A2: Yes, but if 60 single they must be stackable into tiers of 2 or 3 cages tall. Q3: Please confirm whether the manure trays are required to be stainless steel and included with each tier. A3: Manure tray must be corrosion resistant and have sufficient rigidity that it won�t bend, twist or break with up to 20lb weight. It could be stainless steel or HDPE Q4: Is there a preferred manufacturer or model for the nipple-drinker watering system, or will commercially available equivalent systems be acceptable? A4: Prefer Valco or Ziggity or a commercial grade system with parts compatible/interchangeable with systems from those manufacturers. Q5: Are assembly and installation required at the USDA facility, or is delivery of the completed cage system sufficient? A5: Assembly on site needed if they are shipped unassembled. If they are shipped assembled delivery is fine. Q6: Are there any existing drawings, sketches, or reference photos available that would assist offerors in understanding the desired cage configuration? A6: There is nothing exactly like what we need. We do want to require that the company submit shop drawings for approval prior to manufacturing the cage.
