1. Question: Can you tell us what the difference is between line item (1) and (2)? This appears to be an average of 50‐60 cylinders a month. Is that correct?

Response: Quoted unit prices should be included with the Pricing Schedule line item that is most closely associated with the work.

Section 4.1 describes the requirement for initial cylinder supply and initial fill of CO2 (Qty:

57/EA). Section 4.2 describes the requirement for routine supply and delivery, and not to exceed quantity. The estimated gas consumption is 57 CO2 cylinders per month. See Section 4.2.1

(Amendment 0001).

2. This is industrial grade CO2, correct?

Response: See Section 4.1.1 (Amendment 0001).
