FA442721Q0044, Carousel Questions Due: 21 April 2021, 9:00 AM, PST

Response Due: 26 April 2021, 4:00 PM, PST

1) Each carousel shelf or "carrier" is to, per the spec, have "TWO TIERS". What is the acceptable clear height, or clear height range, for each storage tier within the carousel shelf/carrier?

A: Acceptable carrier clear height is 14-16 inches

2) Associated to above question, per spec, "Each shelf shall have a 1-2 foot height requirement".

That is a significant range, and I believe the answer to question #1 will help resolve this topic.

A: 1-2 ft was a range given for flexibility, carrier height shall be 14-16 inches.

3) Will a machine width of between 12'1" and 12'3" be accepted? To maximize capacity for your team and to offer a COTS design, we may need to utilize a width in that range

A: 12’3” will be acceptable. If it needs to be wider than 12 ft we have some space to make adjustments

4) Is there a minimum shelf weight capacity?

A: We would like the shelves capacity to be 600 lbs or more.

5) Is the vendor to include "removable storage boxes"? If so, can you provide specifications; e.g material type, approximate width, subdividable, etc?

A: Yes, the vendor is to provide removable storage boxes. The material can be plastic with an approximate width of 4-6 inches. Subdivides are acceptable but not necessary.

6) Is the end user able to receive the shipment and stage the material in advance of the installation crew arrival? If no, please offer all applicable ingress details, e.g. dock location, ingress distance, etc.

A: The end user can receive the shipment and provide storage prior to installation crew arrival.

7) Electrical: How far is the Electrical Supply from the intended carousel location? Does the panel have sufficient capacity for new equipment addition? What voltage is available?

A: In a straight line the electrical supply is approximately 20 ft away from the install location. There are four electrical panels and each one has available space to add new equipment. Two panels are rated at 208 volts/3 phase and the others are 480 volts/ 3 phase.
