2 W C614/A 001 PET903 AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL MARINE CAUTIONARY BUOYS, GARRISON PETAWAWA This amendment is raised to answer questions asked by potential bidders and to make changes to Annex A Requirement. 1) The following questions were asked by potential bidders and answered by the Technical Authority: Question #1 - Specifically there appears to be a problem with the match between the Mooring chain and the Buoy. For example 50 ft of 3/4" (19.05) mm diameter chain weighs over 250 Lbs. The Buoy specified is not able to support this weight. When you hook up that chain to the Buoy, the Buoy will sink underwater. I'm fairly confident this is not what is desired! Specifically the Buoy with this chain will not meet the 350mm to 400mm immersed section requirement. Normally the chain would be smaller and lighter specified with this Buoy. In situation where you require the extra holding strength of the chain (fast moving water etc) it needs to be coupled with a bigger and more boyant Buoy. Answer #1 This is not a question, more of a statement; however the concern regarding chain size and length is addressed in the amended SOW. Question #2 - The "41 concrete anchors" there is no size or weight specified? Answer #2 Concrete anchors weight must be determined by the supplier in order to meet the minimum requirement necessary to secure the cautionary buoy in place as designed. On-site conditions are relatively still water with less than 2.0 Knot current, depths that range from 2.0 meters to 18.0 meters and are subject to freezing. Anchors shall be designed similar to the following; A) Square in shape; B) Must be a minimum of three times the width as to height (example 1500mm W X 1500mm L X 500mm H); C) Must have a formed bottom cavity; and D) Must have a top mounted anchoring point. Question #3 - In part 5a for example you refer to a Polyethylene shell. In part 5d the shell is referenced as Polypropylene. Answer #3 - Delete Question #4 - Regarding Annex A, 5, c; Our buoys are foam filled with Marine Grade Closed Cell Polyurethane Foam. And this yet satisfies the requirement to form a single block that will result in minimum water egress should the shell become damaged. I wanted to ask if you will evaluate our solution as well?

3 W C614/A 001 PET903 Answer #4 Yes, as per revised para 5c Question #5 - Regarding Annex A, 5, h; Can you please advise what PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) the required inserts are needed to be on? Answer #5 No. This is to be provided by the supplier in that their design will indicate the PCD based on the availability of marine quality solar lighting they can provide for future application if necessary. Question #6 - Regarding Annex A, 5, j; Can you please advise if this decal Is this required on all buoys? Answer #6 Yes, the decal is required on all buoys. Question #7 - Regarding Annex A, 6, a AND b; Can you please advise about the water depths? Answer #7 Water depths range from 2.0 meters to 18.0 meters at their highest seasonal elevation. Question #8 - Regarding Annex A, 6, d; Can you please advise what size and weight anchor blocks are required? Answer # 8 Yes, see revised SOW para 7g. Question #9 - Regarding Annex A, 4, b; Can you please confirm if you will also evaluate a solution with an Overall Length of 2500mm? Answer #9 Yes, see revised SOW para 4b. Question #10 - Section 5, Point (J) states "Buoys will contain DANGER KEEP OUT decals, sized to meet the minimum Transport Canada Marine safety requirements. Please confirm the actual minimum and maximum dimensions required for the decals. Answer #10 - DND will accept a minimum decal dimension of 150mm X 600mm, placed vertically on the upper visible portion of the buoy. 2) Changes have been made to Annex A as a result of the questions and answers. DELETE the Annex A, Requirement attached to the RFP. INSERT the following AMENDED Annex A Requirement. Page 2 of - de 3
