Mobile Production Trailer Questions and Answers: 1st Set

Solicitation: FA461019QA013

1) Q: Will the trailers be required to have a grounding rod package when deployed?

A: No, trailers will not be required to be grounded.

2) Q: What base frame material is required, aluminum or steel frame? (Aluminum will provide maximum life span with ultimate rust prevention & corrosion resistance, but is also lighter than steel & has a stronger per square in yield than steel frame).

A: Both steel or aluminum would be acceptable.

3) Q: Is the floor required to be insulated as well, or just the walls & ceiling? Is a defined R‐value rating requested?

A: No special insulation is being required for the floor. However, this is assuming that the floor has industry standard carpet flooring for production trailers that normally provides sufficient sound deadening within the trailer. There is no R‐Value rating being requested.

4) Q: Are there specific materials requested for the walls & ceiling, or whatever is standard? Will components be added to the interior walls?

A: No specific materials are being requested for walls and ceiling, so long as the materials being offered are in‐line with industry standards for production trailers. Ceiling should be insulated and can be laminate. Components will be added to the interior walls.

5) Q: Has a material for the operator tables been defined? (Aluminum, laminate, stainless steel, etc.)

A: No specific material is being requested for the operator tables.

6) Q: For the exterior lights, do these need to be switched together or independently?

A: Switched together.

7) Q: I did not see a specified quantity of interior 20A receptacles.

A: 8 sets of receptacles, 4 on each side wall equally spaced.

8) Q: To save energy, we could go to all 12V high output LED lighting. This is simply a suggestion…

A: LED lights are acceptable, so long as they offer sufficient lighting, and are compatible with the generator that will be used to provide power to the trailer during missions. Generator provides 120v AC household current.

9) Q: In order to have clearance, we will need to add a pair of bogey wheels under the rear corners of the trailer to prevent the rear door step from dragging and being damaged during transport.

A: Bogey wheels for protection are acceptable.

10) Q: Under section 3.2 the third bullet point – is an 8”x8” door with fibrous bristles an acceptable solution?

A: Yes, an 8”x8” door with fibrous bristles is acceptable, so long as the door provides an air / water tight seal when shut.

11) Q: Just below that, the fourth bullet point in section 3.2 – Do you have any existing pictures of this set up on your current trailer? (if available, please supply)

A: Similar to the picture provided below.

12) Q: Is any cabinetry storage or windows required?

A: No cabinetry storage or windows are required.

Mobile Production Trailer Questions and Answers: 2nd Set

Solicitation: FA461019QA013

1) Q: In regard to environmental control, we have learned that roof top RV type systems do not do well in high heat for all of the items to be integrated as well as personnel. We would like to offer in our proposal a real Wall mount air conditioner on the trailer rear that will cool and heat through real air plenums. Had you considered this option previously?

A: No, that had not been an option we had considered. Our requirement is that the Trailer be environmentally controlled as long as a rear AC unit does not interfere with rear access door or ladder to roof that could be acceptable.

2) Q: We also note that there is no specification as to the amount of insulation to be installed in the floors, walls and ceiling systems to be most important in controlling the interior.

A: Requirement already clarified in previous round of questions/answers and is currently posted on FBO.

3) Q: Please confirm that the successful vender is to provide all connectors on the IO panel as defined.

A: Yes. Vendor will provide required connectors on Input/output access panel already identified on Salient Characteristics.

4) Q: Please confirm that the generator will be external and is not part of this request for pricing.

A: The generator is not part of this trailer solicitation.

5) Q: We note that the power system does not include isolation transformers and a load center, can these important items be considered?

A: Isolation transformers can be used for power distribution. Trailer must be equipped with either a 100A breaker or two 50A breakers to provide enough power to equipment racks, interior/exterior lighting and accessory outlets. Customer will use a 208VAC, 3‐phase diesel generator and will isolate (per leg) for power distribution through trailer panel.

6) Q: Will the steps and the handrails for the roof system require OSHA standards?

A: Yes, OSHA standard apply.
