QUESTIONS FROM SELLER: 1) For the 2.5 Task – we really need clarification on the Transom Bracket. Based on the fact the boats are configured with engine guards, we assume this refers to a transom keeper? If not we will need specifications or requirements for the engine support brackets? Required thickness, etc. For the bracket, or a manufacturer’s number to quote the parts and installation. 2) For the motors, would you like for the gauges to be analogue or digital? 3) Currently the DF175’s are on backorder and it sounds like there will be plenty of other hull repairs that your company will be taking care of. Would you be able to drop the boats off at our facility to de-rigg the Evinrude systems, and pick up to complete your side of the project? Once the motors arrive, the boats can be dropped off at our facility to complete the repower side of things. 4) What are the colors for the topcoat and primer? Does the painting have to be QP1 certified? 5) What are the specifications for the rub rails, i.e., part number, material number, size/length? 6) In 2.1.3 what are the hardware specifications? What specifications do you have for the replacement of the zincs. What are the specifications for the metal backing/retaining insert plate and associated retaining hardware? 7) Based on the response time, we are requesting an additional contract extension past the contract deadline of Monday, September 11th.
