exhaust fans (i.e. Greenheck, Dayton, etc.)?

Answer: Manufacturer of current fans/ models listed is Schaefer

2. If the listed model designations provided in the statement of work are not specific to horsepower, voltage, phase, duty, and materials of construction, please provide the specific sizing, power, and materials of construction requirements for each model. Also, any required options, if applicable. Answer: Voltage 115, HP

¾-1/5 on two speed, HP ½ on single speed, Equivalent to those models

3. It is taken to mean from the statement of work each exhaust fan driver will be a heavy duty TEFC electric motor with a 1.15 service factor. Will this be sufficient, or does the owner want the contractor/vendor to source premium efficient

TEFC motors if they are an available option from the manufacturer? Answer: It will be sufficient

4. Please provide the picture on the PWS, page 5, of the 'Figure 1 Building 38'. The picture is not registering on the pdf document Building 38 is our main Administration bldg. it has nothing to do with fans Answer: Updated pictures are uploaded.

5. The specified Schaefer model numbers below do not appear on Schaefer¿s current website:

¿ (9) 366S34

¿ (9) 366S34-2

¿ (7) 246S34BD

¿ (7) 246S34BD-2

Could you please confirm whether these model numbers are still current, or if there are updated/replacement model numbers that should be used for pricing?

If updated models are acceptable, please provide the applicable model numbers or specifications so we can ensure our quote is fully compliant.

Answer: Model numbers are the existing fans to be replaced. Updated models are acceptable and potential contractors should work with suppliers to determine equivalent.

d. Model 246S34BD-2 Schaefer offers models which it recommends as direct replacement for these units with similar performance in terms of CFM, but none are two-speed; all the new models are ½ horsepower, 5 blade, single speed fans. Will the USDA accept the recommended replacements or are contractors expected to source fans from alternate providers to match the existing units having ¾ horsepower and 2 speed motors? Note units from alternate providers might require additional modifications to the greenhouse framing whereas the Schaefer units will fit in the existing spaces. Answer:

The USDA will accept recommended replacements.

Any alterations to the facility to replace the fans will need to be included in the pricing quoted.

7. If the USDA is willing to accept the manufacturers recommended replacements, would the

USDA like an adder to retrofit the new Schaefer fans with 2-speed and ¾ horsepower motors where applicable? Answer: Quote should include any components required by manufacturer to function as required in Performance Work Statement. If upgrades are available, vendors may quote the upgrade price separately but evaluation will be based on the pricing for the base work.
