    Qestions and answers serial 1:
    
    Q1: In the posting its states that the initial procurement will be for the replacement of five (5) Lightweight Gangways (LG); does this mean that the successful company will receive further orders of a similar regard in the future? 
    
    CA: Yes, As mention in the RFP (1.1 Summery and 1,4,2 of Part 6- Resulting Clauses) three more Gangways may be requested by the CCG
    
    Additionally, is the successful vendor responsible for installing these LG’s or providing any further service after providing the requested good?

    Q2: The Canada Buys tender site says there is an amendment for this tender but I can’t find it. I don’t want to miss anything for this tender. Is this a glitch of the site, that there is an amendment?
    There is no amendment at the moment.

    Serie 2
    
    Q1: I would like to bid on the aluminum gangways
    
    We are certificated CWB division 2 steels
    We have a full time structural engineer and a full-time mechanical engineer are working with us
    We don’t have the W47.2 requirement at the moment (we were waiting to have enough work to have it)
    We are also accredited for the Canadian Army goods control
    We worked regularly for the Davie shipyard for several types of work
    
    We may have the W47.2 requirement for the gateways and if we have the contract our company will be W47.2 compliant. There are quite expensive costs for this type of accreditation.
    
    CA: According to the Annex E if you can not provide a valid CSA Standard W47.2 certification with your bid you will be found non-compliant and Canada not consider your bid.
    
    
    Q2: Is an alternate aluminum channel acceptable for the stringers? Custom extruded channel is difficult to locate and has a long lead time.
    
    Proposing using extruded 6061-T6 8"x3"x9/32" for the stringers or bending 1/8" or 3/16" 5052 Aluminum into 8"x3" channel shapes
    
    
    TA (CCG): I had an answer from our engineer and he says yes the difference above in Q2 is fine.
    ____________________________________________________________________
    
    Serie 3
    
    Q1: I would like to see if I could get some information about the building materials used for the fabrication of the 5 Lightweight Gangways for the Hero Class Vessels / Mid Shore Patrol Vessel. In the drawings in the Spec provided by Lenkeek Vessel Engineering on both drawings; L20046-S02 & J20046-S03, The first item SIDE STRINGER CUSTOM CHANNEL ( Custom Extruded Channel 8" x 0.125" Web, 3" x 0.15" Flange (6061-T6)). Is this extruded from a die that Canadian Coast Guard already owns? And what manufacturer would have access to it so that we could have the channel extruded.
    
    Please provide me your answer.
    
    TA of CCG: Same answer as in the Q2 of Serie 2 and there are too many manufacturers that can provide this extrusion
