X X X The purpose of this amendment is to address all questions submitted to the contracting office. See attachment for all questions and answers.

Solicitation # 36C24618Q0278: Question and Answer

1. We highly recommend that the synthetic media be allowed, to provide significant energy savings and the best value, can this be done? Synthetic media is acceptable.

2. For pricing purposes, please tell us what to enter in the boxes labeled base year and option years. Is this the “cost per piece”, or the “cost each” multiplied by the quantity? Please enter the cost multiplied by quantity for each section. OY1 represents 2019 pricing, OY2 represents 2020 pricing, and OY3 represents 2021 pricing. Estimated usages are based on an annual need (See amended schedule for estimated annual usages).

3. Is item #1 a MERV 8 pleated filter or a framed poly disposable, or a poly ring panel? Framed poly disposable

4. Item #22 is a 3-ply poly ring panel, not a poly disposable or poly pad. We recommend that you provide a clarification, so that incorrect (cheaper) filters are not quoted. This is a poly disposable

5. Items #38 & 39: please specify how many pockets per bag. 8-pockets

6. What is the difference between items # 42,43, 48? They are the same, but for different areas of the hospital. This is just how the schedule was broken down

7. Items 23, 27, 33: What type filter is this? Minipleat or MERV 8 prefilter? 23 and 33 should be MERV-8 pre-filters and 33 is MERV-15 final-filter

8. What is the difference between items #24 and #26? They are the same, but for different areas of the hospital. This is just how the schedule was broken down

9. What is the difference between items #30 and 31? They are the same, but for different areas of the hospital. This is just how the schedule was broken down

10. HEPA filters: Specifications are printed for HEPA standard capacity filters and HEPA V-Bank High capacity filters on pages 9 and 10. My question is, of the MERV 17 filters listed on page 15, which ones are STANDARD CAPACITY FILTERS and which ones are HEPA V-BANK HIGH CPACITY filters. V-bank high-capacity, if available
