Description

The above referenced solicitation is hereby amended to respond to questions submitted: ***QUESTION: Is the Government furnished equipment available for inspection? Where? If not currently available, when will it be ready? ANSWER: The equipment is available for inspection around November 1, 2001. The models that are incorporated as IGES files in the CD-ROM are true to form and are actually more informative than the parts themselves. ***QUESTION: Most of the weld symbols used on the Sample Bucket Weldment Assembly drawing 022-0656 cannot be interpreted to AWS 2.4 standards. We also note that the drawings are marked PRELIMINARY. (1)Do you want full penetration welds everywhere? (2)If we are favored with the award, would NIST be open to making certain changes to the construction of the weldment that would substantially reduce manufacturing cost and provide NIST with satisfactory form, fit and function? ANSWER: (1)NIST wants full penetration welds on every weld associated with 022-0656. (2)Yes. ***QUESTION: Page ten (1) at subsection C-3 of the solicitation indicates that a choice of tile will be made on or before August 15, 2001. What is the choice? ANSWER: Please reference Modification 01 to solicitation SB1341-01-R-0042 on the Federal Business Opportunities website. ***The due date for proposals, Tuesday, September 4, 2001 at 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time remains unchanged.
