Things to watch (6)
- Serious: Total small business set-aside. Only small businesses can bid; larger firms cannot send quotes.
- Worth checking: Local permits and fire-code approval before installing. You must get all permits and inspections from the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ: the local code official) and fire code approval for each gate's emergency opening before installing.
- Worth checking: Entrance must stay secured during construction. You must provide and maintain temporary measures to close the opening when the old gate is removed and the new one is not working.

- Worth checking: Existing power and dimensions must be field verified. The Government does not guarantee the voltage, circuit capacity or entrance dimensions; you carry the risk of what you find on site.
- Minor: Government supplies nothing. You must provide all materials, equipment, interface devices and test gear; no Government property, software or licenses are furnished.
- Minor: Off-hours work needs written approval. Onsite work happens during normal operating hours unless the contracting officer approves other hours in writing.
