From Superior Hiking Trail Association regarding the updated RFP:
Hello,
It was brought to my attention that there was a lot of terminology being used in the data sheet, so I have attempted to clarify exactly what is specified. I took all other terminology out and used "timber box steps" to describe a set of stairs built with 6x6s, stacked and pinned, and either filled or decked, as per the definition in the RFP. I also removed the term boardwalk from the datasheet, and specified puncheon instead. Most of the changes are in the datasheet, but I did make some clarifying edits to definitions in the "specifications" section under #3, structure construction.
Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Please use this updated RFP exclusively and discard the first RFP that was sent out.
