CONTINUATION PAGE
| 1. | Will this job site require union labor? Our current installation crew is non-union. |
| Not required | |
| 2. | B.2 Price/Cost Schedule requires unit pricing in EA. It also requires install/removal and training in JB. What does JB stand for? |
| JB is short for Job, since the install/training is not a physical deliverable item. | |
| 3. | Installation and Removal/Disposal are required yet we have no knowledge of site conditions or full scope of work required. Is there an opportunity for a site walk-through? |
| We’ve included picture below, that should hopefully suffice | |
| 4. | Typically when we remove equipment and install new equipment we do not disconnect or reconnect utilities. Or provide any site modifications which might be required to install the new washer. I am assuming a general contractor will be handling these items? |
| Facility Maintenance Staff (FMS) will hire contractors or perform in house the utility disconnect and reconnect and perform necessary site modifications. | |
| 5. | The washer typically is installed in a pit. Would you happen to know the pit length, width and depth? |
| The pit is 117” wide, 177 “ long and 27” deep. The current cart washer does not take up the entire pit so there is grating over areas that it does not fill. | |
| 6. | Do you have any photos of the loading dock, doorways and hallways, perhaps elevator dimensions. Anything that will give us an idea of site access for equipment removal and equipment installation. |
| The loading dock is on level B2. The kitchen is above on level B1. There is a freight elevator from B2 to B1. The dock will accommodate a 53’ trailer with a reasonable tractor. Tractors with extra long sleepers have a difficult time at our dock. Skilled drivers can make it happen. | |
| Elevator: 88” wide, 93” tall, 86” deep. |
8’ corridors with 88” wide by 7’ doors on the path to the space.
Space has a 44” wide by 7’ door off of the 8’ corridor
