- Description
- Q. Re: Combined Synopsis / Solicitation Notice page 3 of 7, 1.2 * All items must include unload, uncrate & set in place 1JB.Followed closely by 1.3, 2nd paragraph, last two sentences: "This contract is for the equipment and freight only as a firm-fixed price. The install will be provided by the general contractor of the construction project." Please clarify what is expected of the bidder after the equipment is delivered to the jobsite. A. This requirement requires delivery and assembly of equipment if required once unpackaged. Q. In either case, hook-up to utilities is not addressed. Please provide clarification regarding the responsibility for utility hook-ups. A. Hook up to utilities will be the General contractor and their installers. Q. Re: Combine Synopsis / Solicitation Notice, page 5 of 7, salient characteristics for the Lynx 330LX or equal, item 2. "Must fit in exact footprint designed to allow for service maintenance access and fitting with larger washer." Also page 5 of 7, paragraph at middle of page: Note: Purchasing these two washers together is essential due to the new clean and dirty side cage washer area being very limited in width. Service clearances will be extremely tight. The cage and bottle washer shall be provided with all serviceable components accessible from either the front or only one side of the unit. In addition, the doors are pass-through vertical sliding so they should not take up any space into the room beyond the dimensions of the machine. This makes it better suited for this tight space. The 2 machines fit snugly together yet leaving enough service space for preventative maintenance and repairs. Please send the drawing showing the "exact footprint designed to allow for service maintenance access and fitting with larger washer," limitations of width, tight service clearances, view showing the 2 machines fitting snugly together, yet leaving enough service space for PM, repairs, etc., as described in the above solicitation statement. The bidder can then superimpose it's equal equipment onto this layout, showing how the bidder's equipment is equal to the specified products, and that they fit into the "designed footprint" in an acceptable manner. A.Drawing will be email upon request. Q. Is this new Veterinary Medical Unit in the planning stages or under construction, where all pertinent details would be available to the bidders and shown on drawings, or does the installation site already exist, in which case a site visit might be appropriate? A. The pits are already poured and we do not have access to the site due to being under construction. No site visits will be allowed. ** There was a mistake in the dates to receive questions. Question and answers will be accepted up until the closing date of this solicitation. **
