- Description
- Question 1: We would like to request clarification on the specs for the electrical system for the buildings in the current solicitation. As written, that portion of the spec is identical for both buildings, and calls for "two (2) 400W metal halide lights." In our experience, having just 2 lights in the smaller building would not provide much lighting, and in the case of the larger building, this would be extremely minimal lighting. If it helps at all, we have a general formula that is geared to provide moderate lighting. This formula would suggest that 4 lights are needed for the smaller building, and 10 lights are needed for the larger building (rather than 2). Please advise whether the spec as originally written is in fact what is desired. Answer 1: Standard lighting packages will be acceptable as long as the structures have adequate lighting. If your firm uses a gene ral formula which supports minimal lighting quotes, please address this methodology in your quote. Industry standard shall be the minimum requirement for lighting and should be supported by some type of engineering formula. Question 2: Provide clarification for door sizes for all structures: Answer 2: Line item 1 (12 smaller structures) are to have flat ends with MANUAL roll up warehouse type doors (12-14 feet wide x 12-14 feet height). Line Item 2 (total 6 larger structures) 5 are to have "clamshell" type doors on both ends powered by MECHANICAL winches WITH a MANUAL option if the winch goes down. The 6th structure will have flat ends with MANUAL warehouse doors on both ends (12-14 feet wide x 12-14 feet height).. Large enough to fit a forktruck through. Also the question was asked regarding what type of "large door" for the end door of the 5 buildings. Thos e would be the "clamshell" type or similar door. Some vendors have a sliding type door that has been used by the Navy in the past. It is the same idea as clamshell in that it opens the entire end of the tent and is therefore an acceptable door for this procurement. Question 3: What we need to clarify is the overall length of the structure. I have included a diagram to show what we are questioning. Does the approximately 113' length include the main body of the structure, less the doors, or does it include the total length of the structure to the outer most dimensions of the "clamshell" doors in their closed (down) position? Answer 3: The 113 ft would ideally be the over all length of the tents... Doors included. The 6th, flat end tent, would ideally be 113 ft overall as well. The government understands the clamshell doors provide some extra square footage.. . By adding or subtracting standard sections of the main body, the government desires to come as close to 113 ft overall size as possible. If this is not possible, the government will consider accepting the 5 "clamshell door" tent's main body to be 113 ft, neglecting any gains from the doors. The 6th, flat end tent, would need to be 113 ft overall.
