I have a question about the solicitation that concerns the specification about off the floor. Your requirement is that the floor should not be resting on the ground? Does this mean that no part of the floor can contact the ground of that the majority of the floor cannot contact the ground. This has serious engineering ramifications that could result in increased cost or a proposal that is not competitive if this requirement were clarified R3. The kennel should be sufficiently elevated so that as no part of the floor touches the ground. Q4. Is there additional information on the kenneling requirements (size and more detailed specifications)? If the kennels are used today are there any pictures of their design. Any help would be appreciated. R4. This is a new requirement. The kennels are not currently being used. The government would like offerors to provide a unit that they feel will be sufficient.
