4 Solicitation What is the shipping method? Overseas: Integrated Booking System (IBS)

Domestic (Japan): Commercial practice 5 SOW Scales 4.1.4.1

4.1.4.2 Forklift guards are not required around the scale display stands? No. The forklifts do not have access to the areas if floor mounted.

6 SOW Ball Is the number of spare ball units specified? No. Just needs to fit the requirements of spacing outlined in the statement of work with the spacing. Ultimately they should start at least 6 inches inside each of the perimeter of the pads and be no greater than 6 inches spaces from one another at center.

7 Site Visit See Fig 1 Is the width of the tine trough required to be 2'5 "(736.6mm)?

If tine trough is 2'5" wide, width of ball transfer unit between each scale will become less than 40 ".

We think that tine trough width should be at least 500mm or more.

Is there any problem with the 500 mm width operationally?

Please refer to the statement of work. The dimensions you stated in your question do not match the dimensions we provided in the statement of work.

4.1.2.1 and 4.1.2.2 Additionally, the width of the tine trough should not affect the outer dimensions of the scale foot print.

8 SOW Ball 4.1.3 Are the pallet stoppers required only on the apron side? The statement of work outlines that the pallet stoppers are built into the tine troughs.

9 Can you provide us the following materials?

・Plan view of the warehouse ・Electrical drawing (Wiring system diagram)

Awaiting response from Civil Engineering Squadron. A second email request was sent on 4 June.

10 SOW Scales See Fig 2 Can We cut existing fork deflectors (welded on angle frame of pit) with a power tool? I don’t know, I am not a metallurgist or engineer. I would assume yes.

11 SOW Ball 4.1.5 Please specify how to fix new fork deflectors. (To be weld on angle frame like current deflectors or to be fixed on the floor with anchor bolt?)

Anchor/bolt in case one is damaged and needs to be replaced.

12 See Fig 3 We should get power supply from the control panel of the existing table lifts placed near the wall? (200V)

Yes.

13 See Fig 4 We saw an outlet for 100V power supply near the wall, can it be used as power for scale only? (In case of not using the power supply of the existing lifts.)

No, we outlined in the site survey that the wall plugs are NOT allowed to be utilized. Why wouldn’t they utilize the power from the existing lifts?

14 See Fig 3 Please tell us the capacity of the control panel of existing lifts.

(Voltage, current value)

The breaker box nearest the lifts has two 208 volt breakers.

15 Is it possible to borrow a hoist crane in the warehouse? When no mission operational needs are warranted the contractor can use the lift.

17 SOW Scales 4.1.2 According to standard, 463L pallet dimension is 108"(2743) x 88"(2235).

This dimension seems to be a little bit narrower and longer than existing pallet in site.(2600 x 2400) We should follow both?

Please refer to the statement of work. The dimensions you stated in your question do not match the dimensions we provided in the statement of work.
