1. Would you be able to provide us with the model and serial number of the UPS/battery module that needs the batteries? This is to verify the equipment and be able to supply the correct battery for the equipment

A: This requirement is for the UPS units, as well as battery modules, not just for batteries themselves. Here are the UPS unit requirements:

Basement:

- Comm Closet #1 at least 8kVA, have at least 12 outlets for equipment

- Comm Closet #2 at least 6kVA, have at least 12 outlets for equipment

- 200-240 VAC

- L6-30 plug

- Expected runtime of 40 minutes

1st Floor:

- Comm closet #1 at least 8kVA, have at least 12 outlets for equipment

- Comm closet #2 at least 6kVA, have at least 10 outlets for equipment

- 200-240 VAC

2nd Floor:

- Comm closet #1 at least 6kVA, have at least 10 outlets for equipment

- Comm closet #2 at least 8kVA, have at least 16 outlets for equipment

- 200-240 VAC

3rd Floor

- Comm closet #1 at least 5kVA, have at least 10 outlets for equipment

- Comm closet #2 at least 5kVA, have at least 10 outlets for equipment

- 200-240 VAC

2. The solicitation specifies that each UPS must maintain up to 40 minutes of runtime until a generator takes over the load. The RFQ does not appear to indicate the load percentage at which this runtime is required. Could you please clarify if the 40-minute runtime is expected under: Full load, or Partial load, and if Partial, at what percentage of load (e.g., 50%)?

A: Full load, there are no current UPS units in place to determine the current utilization of the UPS. Power utilization/requirements:

Comm Closet #1 Summary:

- Basement: 6432 watts

- 1st Floor: 5976 watts

- 2nd Floor: 4801 watts

- 3rd Floor: 2815 watts

Comm Closet #2 Summary:

- Basement: 4605 watts

- 1st Floor: 4247 watts

- 2nd Floor: 6872 watts

- 3rd Floor: 2200 watts

3. Is there is a loading dock at the delivery location?

A: No, but there is an elevator to bring the UPS between the floors. Furthermore, there is a short flight of stairs from the facility’s entrance to the elevator. Alaskan Command (ALCOM) J6 has a powered dolly that can bring the equipment up the stairs, if necessary.

4. Load information (total wattage)?

A: Power utilization/requirements:

Comm Closet #1 Summary:
