Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document contains responses to Requests for Information (RFI) related to Solicitation 140P2126R0010: INDE – ADA Ramps Installation.

• RFI 1 (Material Lead Time): The specified ADA ramp material (Ohio Gratings Stainless steel bar grate BOD (7-SGSS-4; w/ SP4 ALGRIP surface)) has a 9-10 week lead time. An option to supply standard bar grating and swap it out later was proposed, which would increase costs. The government requests recommended materials and/or substitutions that meet industry standards, with technical acceptability determined by the Government.
• RFI 2 (Stainless Steel Alloy): The solicitation specifies Type 304 stainless steel, but the questioner typically uses Type 316 for exterior applications and seeks confirmation. The government is seeking solutions for materials and fabrication methodologies. The list of materials and quantities in the Scope of Work is an estimation, and bidders are encouraged to provide recommendations through the Contract Pricing Form and Required Shop Drawings. The specification mentioned will be removed from Attachment C.

This RFI response indicates that the government is open to alternative material recommendations and will remove a specific specification from Attachment C, suggesting potential flexibility in material requirements and a focus on bidder recommendations for fabrication and materials.
