Solicitation No. 140R3024R0001 Amendment 0004, Crane Testing, Replacement & Repair Attachment 9, Questions & Answers

Questions and Answers:

1) Question: Mechanical section specifies "explosion proof enclosure" but no rating is provided.

Please provide the desired rating.

Answer: The enclosure referenced pertains to the receiver enclosure. NEMA 4 rating is sufficient, 'explosion proof' not required. The transmitter should be all weather type for use indoors or outdoors.

2) Question: Model MLTX2 is requested however the desired capabilities will not fit within the MLTX2. May offerors provide a similar but larger model to accommodate all desired functions?

Answer: Incorrect information was provided for controller inputs. Controllers should be similar to those already updated for similar cranes. Controller functions should be 3 paddle, 4 toggle with horn and e-stop. Left paddle to control Troller movement. Center Paddle to control main hoist. Right paddle to control bridge movement. Toggles control Trolley jog, bridge jog, bridge brakes and of/on/start. For further detail see controller pictures attached.

3) Question: Will the government provide a Post Exhibit for the sites staffing requirements?

Answer: A post exhibit is not available. The current contractor often flexes availability based on mission needs.

4) Question: Please provide the original telemotive job number or specifics on desired functions for the joystick and all 12 toggles.

Answer: Per the drawings the Telemotive job number appears to be R5896 and R5897. Joystick and 12 toggle requirement was mistakenly input on this project, see responses above.

5) Question: Please clarify what information is desired with "screen feedback" and how the current system feedback is/will be sent to the radio controller.

Answer: Screen requirement was added due to other current controllers having a screen. The screen is not required for these controllers. If a screen type controller is provided, information desired would be functional data such as; information on mode in use (trolley, bridge, main hoist, or aux hoist) speed, direction, etc.

6) Question: Please confirm only the radio control systems require replacement. Other crane control system may remain in place.

Answer: The remote controller and associated receiver system is what requires replacement.

7) Question: For load testing, how far is the water source (ie. Spigot) located from the testing area? What size is the current water connection?

Answer: There is a 3" line reduced down to 1/2" industrial fitting approximately 20' away. For testing the line could be reconfigured up to a 3" connection.

8) Question: For load testing, is a water drain available and how far from the test area is such a drain?

Answer: Yes, a 3" drain is approximately 20' from the test area.

Solicitation No. 140R3024R0001 Amendment 0004, Crane Testing, Replacement & Repair Attachment 9, Questions & Answers

9) Question: Provide hook height from floor when hook/block are in the upper most position.

Answer: The hook is approximately 45' from the floor.

10) Question: Provide pictures of area, cab, current control panels, and work area.

Answer: Please see images in Attachment 10.

11) Question: There are some old Telemotive receiver drawings sent in, but I can’t read the old Tele job number. Please provide the Telemotive job number from the drawing.

Answer: Per the drawings the Telemotive job number appears to be R5896 and R5897.

12) Question: Is there going to be a job walk for the Task Order for the bid? We will need to see the cranes to be able to bid this one correctly.

Answer: A site visit is scheduled for Thursday, November 16, 2024 at 10:00 am PT at Hoover Dam. Please RSVP by November 15 to Kristen Turner at khturner@usbr.gov .

13) Question: On Attachment 2, page 2, section “Equipment Supply” are you requesting one spare transmitter per crane or one spare total for both cranes?

Answer: One spare transmitter and waist belt per crane. (See revised Attachment 2).
