Attachment 1 - Salient Characteristics.pdf

This document specifies salient characteristics and minimum acceptable requirements for an industrial-grade rotary screw air compressor procurement. The required system must be 5 horsepower with a minimum 120-gallon air tank capacity and achieve a minimum pressure rating of 185 PSI. The compressor must operate on 208V, 3-phase, 60 Hz electrical input and maintain a maximum acoustic noise level of 70 dBA. The system must include an integrated refrigerated air dryer with automatic condensate drain, an integrated air filtration system, an integrated control panel with auto start/stop controls and pressure gauges, and a safety pressure relief valve. A critical requirement specifies that the proposed system must be fully compatible and integrate with the existing on-site Auto bagger or equal to P/N T-1000-S14 Advanced Poly-Bagger Packing System without requiring structural facility modifications. The compressor must include the standard manufacturer warranty.

Offerors proposing an alternative or "equal" product must submit technical brochures, manufacturer specifications, or other descriptive literature demonstrating that the proposed alternative meets or exceeds every salient characteristic outlined in the requirements table. Failure to provide sufficient documentation demonstrating compliance with all salient characteristics may result in the quote being evaluated as technically unacceptable.
