Can you please clarify #12? Several items of our structures are standard galvanized, Is #12 calling for painting over galvanized finishes? This may not be possible or recommended for several items such as stair treads. We can do all galvanized steel, the coloring was requested if that was a possibility #15 calls for a 3-calendar day delivery of replacement parts during warranty period. This is unlikely for most manufacturers for many of the components. 1-2 weeks is more likely. Understandable, we can look into changing this to make that realistic timeframe. but must have a repair plan and path forward in 3 days. Please clarify #17 as well. Is there a requirement to replace parts or is this only if items have failed in the 1-year warranty period. Replace parts if it fails one year warranty, Only if there are parts that need to be replaced while performing maintenance that is not functioning properly or broke. #10 references a 3,000lb pallet load and #14 references a 2,000lb load. Please clarify. Mezzanine must be designed to hold 2,000lbs at a minimum on a standard 4 x 4 ft pallet jack. Minimum capacity of 150lbs per square feet #20 and #21 reference weight testing. Is there a specific procedure or standard for compliance? Is there a specific certificate that you are looking for, or is this just a simple form indicating that we tested the structure for the required pallet jack load? It is to prove weight compliance before acceptance. We will accept testing the structure with the required pallet jack load. IAW the engineered drawing along with the weight test. Is there a permit process? What is the inspection that you are looking for? Please reference the delivery schedule and installation of mezzanine section. Mezzanine shall be built to comply with federal, state, local, and OSHA standards that being said we also request that contractor be able to provide a licensed structural engineer seal and compliance cert. W are only looking for weight test inspection to insure it satisfies the load requirement and then we will accept delivery. Regarding the service date. You mention that services are required by 6/1/23. Is this the date you are expecting the mezzanine on site? We would ideally like to have the mezzanine delivered 17 weeks after we award the contract, The service date is when CG Yard is expecting the product to be fabricated, assembled and inspected. We currently have it solicited for bid.
