II. SCOPE OF WORK/SPECIFICATIONS

Answers to Bidders Questions:

1. Question: Will you allow the vendor to install smaller propane tanks where the annual volumes do not require the tank sizes as outlined in Table 1, as long as the vendor can guarantee continuous propane supply through the use of telemetry (tank readers)?

Example: Where Table 1 requires a 1000 gallon tank for Savannah Residence Hall, but the annual volume is only 500 gallons- would a 500 gallon tank suffice and be approved?

State’s Response: Tanks should be provided as noted on the chart (Table 1) based upon variation of usage on campus.

2. How many existing tanks are throughout the campus. And what size is the tanks?

State’s Response: See Section III. SCOPE OF WORK/SPECIFICATIONS, Table 1 on page 17.
