Q1: Provide site visit sign in sheet.

A1: Sign-in sheet is attached to this amendment.

Q2: Per the scope of work to install 3 new Atlas Copco Compressors (Brand name or equal) per the site visit and field verification the 3 new units will be installed 90 degrees to face Beverly Drive if allowed?

A2: Yes, that is correct. (New Work #6)

Q3: Per the scope of work to install 3 new Atlas Copco Compressors (Brand name or equal) it is suggested to upgrade the equipment for exterior installation or to have heaters for winter seasons.

A3: Yes, the units must have pre-installed heaters for winterization with the units. (New Work # xix)
