Question and Answers for the Alcova Battery System Replacement

1. As Nicad batteries are generally narrower and require minimal maintenance, my preliminary rack designs favor a 3step 2tier configuration vs. the specified 2step 2tier configuration. This design yields shorter battery enclosures. Can this design be proposed as the main design or should I propose as a lower cost alternate to the 2step 2tier racking?

A: Three tiers would be fine as long as the enclosures fit into the specified front print in the solicitation.

2. The specification does not stipulate but there is a potential maintenance convenience consideration with the battery enclosure design. Will the battery enclosure be accessible from both sides or does the battery room anticipate mounting the enclosure against a wall?

A: Mounted next to a wall, so maintenance access has to be from the front.

3. I will be attending the Battcon technical meeting in Orlando, FL next week; my return flight, if on time, does not return to Portland until about 1:30pm MT on Friday, May 12, 2023. Would USBR consider an extension of the bid call date to 5pm that day or even sometime the following week?

A: This amendment extends the due date to May 29, 2023 at 1500 MD.
