ADDENDUM 1
TO: VENDORS
FROM: BRITTANY HARVEY, PROCUREMENT OFFICER
RE: INVITATION TO BID NO. ITB CS 23 24 109
FLASH POINT TESTERS
This addendum is to provide answers to questions received in reference to this invitation to bid.
Question / Answer
1. Ensure sample temperature range of 0 ºC to 225 ºC- For the 0-225C, do we need to include a chiller to meet the lower temperature requirements? Or does the unit have to be able to meet this without the need of any additional accessories? For example, external chiller.
The instrument must be capable of running samples within the temperature range listed.
Samples, if needed, will be cooled externally (separate from the unit). Instrument must be capable of determining flash points from 35 °C to 225 °C as per D7094.
2. Five-minute sample analysis completion.- The 5-minute sample time per sample needs clarification. Is this 5 minutes at what temperature? Time will vary depending on the expected flashpoint.
The intent of this requirement was for a maximum sample throughput of 12 samples per hour. Expected throughput is 5 – 7 samples per hour with flash points in the range of
110 °F to 150 °F.
This Addendum is hereby incorporated into and made a part of the above noted Invitation to Bid. All other terms, conditions and specifications of this Invitation to Bid will remain the same. For questions regarding this Addendum, please contact the Purchasing Office at email at Bids@FDACS.gov.
