2. Q.: If contractor is awarded as winner, how many days do we have to deliver the equipment from award day? A.: 60 days after receipt of order.

- Quantities – 2 each top unit C4ET-6.10-ES-MXP-DI-NSF and 1 each bottom unit C4ET-10.10-ES-MXP-DI-NSF: A.: we need 1 COMBI OVEN, STACKED UNIT, that includes the top, bottom and staking kit. We also need 1 top unit since we have a bottom oven (steamer type C4eT 10.10 ES -N and C4eD 10.10 ES)

- Is there already 1ea C4ET-10.10-ES-MXP-DI-NSF available on site? Or why do you only need 1ea “10.10”? If you have one available that is to be used as the bottom oven for one of the top ovens, then you would have to definitely stack a Convotherm unit on top with a stacking kit. You can place another brand of combi oven on top of a Convotherm (Or a Convotherm on another brand of combi oven). A.: Yes, we currently have 2 bottom unit 10.10 (C4eT 10.10 ES – N and C4eD 10.10 ES) and we are purchasing a stacking kit to go with the top unit.

- Also stacking the “6.10” on a “10.10” will create a height of the stacked unit of

1844mm t the height point. Stacking a “6.10” on a “6.10” will create a stacked height of 1572mm, but of course provide for less capacity. This is similar for any brand of combi oven. Please clarify. A.: we currently have a “6.10” on a “10.10” and the height is just fine
