Amendment 1: Q&A 001

Q1: Characteristics - notes "certified minimum dynamic load capacity" and "certified engineering verification" for the capacity.  Please provide what is acceptable for this.  Do you need stamped engineered drawings?

A1: Stamped engineering drawings or a form of Data Verification Plate if applicable.

Q2: Platform is fixed height, Ramp is adjustable to be used on different trailer heights.  How will the site handle moving this Ramp, as there are no wheels designated on the Ramp.

A2: Fixed platform height will not meet our requirements. Fixed location is less than ideal but manageable. If at all possible, we would like wheels attached or forklift capable movement.

Q3: For total structural weight of the products, what is the accepted variance to this target, as it will be a challenge to meet this weight targets at 50 K capacity and dimensions.

A3: Yard Ramp: An acceptable variance of up to +10% to +15% (Ramp: up to ~11,200–11,500 lbs; Platform: up to ~5,200 lbs) is acceptable, provided all 50,000 lbs dynamic load ratings, dimensional specifications, and safety factors are fully maintained. Offerors must clearly state the total structural tare weight in their technical proposal.

Q4: Can you refer to a brand or website that the used to develop the specs on these products.
