- Description
- MODIFICATION #3: PROVIDE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q2 AND Q3 Q2) Does the requestor have a preference between ClearCeramZ or Fused Silica as a mirror material? A2) Both materials suggested by the vendor (ClearCeramZ and fused silica) are suitable choices for construction of the mirror. If possible, we would appreciate if the vendor could provide separate quotes for the mirror using each these materials so that we might consider the relative merits and costs of both substrates. Q3) After looking up the LIDAR trucks a concern was raised about mounting. It appears the current mirror is affixed via screws in the side of the metal frame. This would limit options with clearceram or fused silica. Can the requestor verify a different mounting method will be used for this larger mirror, or if mounting holes are required? Both materials have excellent optic properties but can be fragile if mounted improperly. A3) The mounting of the mirror is described in the request for proposals (RFP), but here is some additional clarification. The mirror does not have any anchor points or mounting holes in it and is contained within the aluminum frame shown in Figure 1 of the RFP. No fasteners go into or attach to the mirror. A thin layer of polyimide (Kapton) tape is used to prevent any direct metal-to-glass contact. In the stowed (-90 degrees relative to the horizon or "face-down" for transport) position, the mirror is resting on the narrow metal brackets shown around the perimeter of the mirror in Figure 1 of the RFP. The areas that the brackets contact the mirror are shown in Figure 4 of the RFP. Again, there are no attachments to the mirror itself other than resting on these edges. In the operating positions of the scanner (mirror facing -45 to 0 degrees relative to the horizon), the mirror is supported within the aluminum frame by the brackets described above until the scanner reaches the fully open position where the mirror is resting on its short end on the lower aluminum frame member. To keep the mirror positioned in contact with the front brackets (especially while in transport or when in the fully open position), a small amount of compressible foam material will be positioned behind the mirror (only located around the perimeter areas directly behind the support brackets).
