Repair Fence Refueling Parking Area

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the FA309926Q0007, POL Fence Refueling Parking Area opportunity.

• Post Removal: Cutting existing posts at ground level and filling with concrete is acceptable. New posts can be set adjacent to old footings.
• Gate Material: Galvanized Steel gates are acceptable. V-track slide gates are TBD.
• Access Controls: The contractor is only responsible for re-connecting existing access controls, not installing new ones.
• Grounding: Fence grounding must comply with NEC and UFCs. Mechanically fastened connections are acceptable.
• As-Builts & Site Plans: Attachments A and B provide available as-built drawings and pre-site conditions, but do not relieve the contractor from performing site investigations.
• Lighting: No additional lighting is required. All refueling areas must be illuminated; temporary lighting is needed if existing lights are disconnected. Standards follow UFC 3-530-01.
• Electrical: Existing gate operators use 120V single-phase power. The panel is located next to the generator (See Attachment 7).
• Underground Utilities: Attachments 8 and 9 detail known utilities and fuel lines, but contractors must still perform their own locating and identification.
• Temporary Fencing: Temporary orange construction fencing is permitted, provided it meets specified UFC and DAFI security requirements.
• Proposal Submission: An itemized proposal is required, not a lump sum. Refer to Attachment 3 for instructions.
• Fence Height: The Statement of Work requirement for an 8-foot chain link mesh fence applies, overriding the UFC minimum height.
• Dual Roles: The Project Superintendent can also serve as the Quality Control Manager, but the Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) must be a separate individual.

Several answers are marked as "TBD" (To Be Determined), indicating potential for further clarification. Bidders should note the specific requirements for fence height, gate types, and proposal submission format. The need for site investigations and utility locating remains the contractor's responsibility despite provided attachments.
