RFP AMENDMENT 0011 RFI ANSWERS (in red)

1) Spec Section 2.33 B: I see the revisions to the cart lifts but new entrances were left in. Currently there are those peele floor sensors/plates in each floor. Those will have to be torn out and then the floor repoured at each landing they are removed from. Are those to be removed? It is part of the entrance's and specs call for all new entrances so I just need to know if that can be left behind or if you guys want it torn out in which case the flooring will have to be repoured and covered on every landing. It can be left in place if that's what you want. But technically it is apart of the new entrances that are being called for.

· Leave the existing floor entrances in place. Reconnect to existing.

2) The specifications for the electrical disconnects for the AMSCO Equipment refer you to the drawings for the NEMA rating. The drawings do not provide a NEMA rating for the disconnects. A NEMA 3R is for a waterproof rating and a NEMA 4X is for Stainless Steel. There is a big price difference between the 2. Please clarify what the NEMA rating is for the electrical disconnects for the AMSCO equipment?

· Disconnect is to be NEMA 4X.

3) There is Fume Hood shown on P-001, however I cannot find any information about the fume hood on the drawings or specs. Can you please clarify if there is a Fume Hood in the Project?

· Fume Hood shown on P-001 is on a master symbol list.

4) Can you please confirm if GE-1 through GE-6 are exhaust valves or clarify what they are?

· See attached revised drawing labeled “Attachment 0011A - Pre-Bid RFI Response Sheets.”

5) Can you please clarify the exhaust hoods above the sterilizers (quantity, size, cfm requirements, basis of design product)?

· See attached revised drawing labeled “Attachment 0011A - Pre-Bid RFI Response Sheets.”

6) For the RO/DI, I’d need to know the following:

i) Pre-filter type (cartridge, bag, etc.) and size?

ii) Carbon filter size (tank and/or media volume)?

iii) Do the RO units operate together or not?

iv) RO buffer tank size?

v) Transfer pump discharge flow rate and pressure?

(1) Are these skid mounted?

· Pre-filter should be a 20”, 10-micron cartridge filter.

· Carbon filter DC-1465 DriSteem. 3.00 cubic foot media volume.

· The RO filters run in redundancy;

· RUN HOURS FOR EACH OF THE RO FILTERS SHALL BE MONITORED AND TOTALIZED FOR BOTH THE CURRENT PERIOD AND LIFETIME OF THE FILTER.

· THE LEAD RO FILTER SHALL BE DEFINED ON THE FIRST OF THE MONTH TO BE THE FAN WITH THE LOWEST TOTALIZED RUN HOURS.

· The pumps are inline type and will not be skid mounted. Flow rate and discharge pressure for each is 24.7 PSI at 43 GPM. Attached it the cutsheet for the inline transfer pumps. File is labeled “Attachment 0011B - UPS_50240_F_B.”

7) We would size the UV sterilizer based on the transfer pump discharge flow rate?

· The UV sterilizer filter and endotoxin filter should be sized for the transfer pump discharge.

8) A plumbing detail drawing showing how all of this is piped would be great, too, if it has been designed already?

· See attached drawings labeled “Attachment 0011C - PLUMBING DETAIL REV.1” and “Attachment 0011D - RODI ROOM ISO REVISED.”
