New Greenhouse Construction Florence, SC Questions and Answers
1) Is there a process to be an approved manufacturer? (i.e. alternate to Atlas Greenhouse?).
Answer: The SOW states Atlas, or equal, so your proposal should clearly show that the alternate you are proposing is equal.
2) What are the wind and snow load requirements for Florence? (I think it is 12-130 mph wind load now)
Answer: The greenhouse manufacturer is required to provide stamped/sealed drawings that have been evaluated and determined to meet the wind and snow loads for South Carolina.
3) In the greenhouse description it states that the frame is to be "square aluminum tubing" however, in the detailed greenhouse description galvanized steel framing is discussed. Is the greenhouse frame to be structural steel tubing or aluminum?
Answer: The framing should be galvanized steel and not aluminum
4) If an "equal" greenhouse frame is substituted and is provided with structural plans sealed by a registered SC engineer to meet the required code can the size and gauge of frame members vary from spec?
Answer: Yes
5) Greenhouse controls - Is a Wadsworth Enviro-Step controller required for each zone (2 controllers required)? Will CO2 sensors be required for each zone? Will a software package that allows for remote monitoring be required?
Answer: One controller should provide independent control of both bays of the greenhouse, but sensors should be installed throughout both bays. Software needs would depend on the controller.
6) Hanging basket rails - Drippers for hanging baskets are described in irrigation system. Are suspended hanging basket rails required and if so how many and where are they to be located?
Answer: Hanging basket rails are not required in the SOW.
7) Irrigation System - A Sterling 12-zone irrigation controller is specified. Is one controller sufficient to control both zones?
Answer: Independent controller for each bay.
8) Fertilizer Injector - One fertilizer injector is specified. Is one injector sufficient for both zones?
Answer: A fertilizer injection system and irrigation system are to be provided for each bay.
9) LED grow lights are specified as Zelion HL300. How many lights are required?
Answer: 4 lights per bench for a total of 24.
New Greenhouse Construction Florence, SC Questions and Answers
10) Do you have specifications for the list station required for the drain line? Would it be possible to run the drain line parallel to the current water line and tie into the drain for the pre-existing building shown in attached picture?
Answer: No, if the lift station is required, it should be designed by the contractor. The line that you propose to connect to is 4”. If that is sufficient capacity to tie into, the contractor is free to use it.
11) Do you have a wattage requirement for the emergency backup generator?
Answer: The SOW states that the emergency backup generator should be designed by the contractor to operate 100% of all system components for this greenhouse project.
12) Will the due date/time for proposals be extended?
Answer: No, the due date/time will not be extended.
