Addendum #1 Questions and Answers
RFP 10011 Active Vehicle Intrusion Barrier System Page 2 of 2
1) If I come up with multiple options that may work for you, is it acceptable for me to submit
multiple proposals for you to choose from?
Answer: Yes; as long as they all adhere to the specifications stated in the RFP. You would
do this by submitting separate proposals as Option #1, Option #2, etc.
2) How large of a clear span opening would you like to protect?
Answer: We would like to be able to span as close to two lanes as possible, but that is just
one consideration.
3) Do you have a certain model barrier you are interested in?
Answer: We have seen several from different manufacturers that have some of the
specifications we consider important. We prefer a system that is configurable to different
locations, i.e., alley ways, streets, parking lot access, etc. Agility of use and ease of set
up/tear down is also a consideration.
4) Do you require a barrier system that allows traffic to flow through it (powered barrier that
can be opened and closed), similar to the Delta Scientific DSC900 or DSC1500?
Answer: That option would be considered beneficial, but not a deal breaker. The barrier
(or gate) can have a powered or non-powered component, as long as it is reliable and
easy to use, while meeting the same vehicle intrusion specifications.
5) Do you require a barrier system that would allow pedestrians to walk through but would
prevent all vehicle traffic, similar to a Delta Scientific TB100 or TB150 Portable Barricade
System?
Answer: Again, the more versatile the system is, the more consideration it will get. That
includes the preferred ability for pedestrians to pass through, including meeting ADA
standards.
