Question 2: We offer a slightly larger size that offers more versatility. It is 36" x 79" (Running Surface - Width x Length) product allows for more room to work on plyometric exercises. Will us offering an alternate bid going to be ok? No, we have no interest or intent performing plyometric exercises on the treadmill. Question 3: Our treadmill offers a touch screen console in the sense that it has a LED display and a smooth button panel surface to operate the machine. Is this acceptable or is a touch screen such as an IPad what is being looked for? A normal touch screen is acceptable; such as an IPad Question 4: The product specified has a cross bar at the back of the machine right about lumbar height on the spine of a user. I noticed this and it is an accident waiting for a user and a time. All of the three manufactures (including Hudson) in this field other than the product specified (Perform-X 30/30) do not have a bar for safety purposes. If this will be a requirement we will in all likelihood not bid due to the fact that meeting that spec will be against our better judgment and put the user at unnecessary risk of injury in the event of a fall at high speed. Is a rear cross bar a requirement? Yes, the rear cross bar must be included for training purposes. Question 5: More often than not when we install a high speed treadmill it includes what is referred to as a gantry. It is a structure that allows a body harness to be suspended over the running surface so that in the event of a fall the user will not be severely harmed by being launched off the treadmill. The harness allows for the adjustment of the strap so that it does not impede the workout but prevents the rapid departure of the user in the event of a fall. This is a requirement but it is a recommendation. Will it be acceptable to offer an alternate bid with this feature? No, we have no space for an overhead apparatus. This feature is not needed for the training intended. product specified. Will this be an issue? Yes, the space we using for the treadmill requires exact dimensions.
