Questions/Answers:

1. Can you please tell us if there is a dock available for unloading or a portable ramp?

Yes, there will be a dock available for unloading.

2. Could you also please verify that PE Stamped drawings are not required? Seismic condi�ons were listed, but we did not see anything about PE Stamped drawings being required.

PE drawings are not required for seismic conditions. However, for the fire suppression system under the mezzanine Appendix E section 3.2.1.12. states that the fire suppression design and hydraulic calculations shall be sealed by a qualified registered Professional Engineer or a R.M.E.

(NICET Level IV) technician.

3. Is there an electrical panel within 100’ of the scale, mezzanine and mobile aisle since all require electricity?

There is an electric panel within 100’ of the scale and mezzanine. The distance has been increased to 200’ for the mobile aisle with anticipated distance around 170’. The location of the electrical room has been added to the drawing. The revised Appendix B (REV 1) and drawing are attached.

4. Pallet Scale for 463L- Is there a 110 volt outlet near where the scale will be placed? If not and we need to run one, how far away is the closest panel?

There will be a 110-volt outlet available in the area of the pallet scale.

5. Pallet Scale for 463L- Does the scale need to be “legal for trade”?

No, the scale does not need to be “legal for trade”. It does need to comply with the certification and calibration requirements in reference Appendix F section 3.2.10.

Questions/Answers Set 2 Date 01 April 2024

20’ W x 15’ H

7. Pallet Scale for 463L- Do you want guard on just the long loading side, or the 3 sides not against the wall?

Guards shall be placed on the 3 sides not against the wall. Appendix F section 3.2.10. and the drawing have been revised.

8. Pallet Scale for 463L- What is the total capacity required for the scale and maximum weight of pallet?

Appendix F section 3.2.10.2. states the scale shall have a minimum capacity of 10,000 pounds. Maximum weight of a pallet can be 10,000 pounds.

9. Pallet Scale for 463L- Readability, or grad size - this is how the scale increments. For example on a scale that has a 1 pound readability, you would see every 1 pound applied to the pla�orm. On a scale the has 2 pound readability, you would see every 2 pounds applied to the pla�orm. On a scale the has 5 pound readability, you would see every 5 pounds applied to the pla�orm.

Example:

1 pound readability -- 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 etc.

2 pound readability -- 0,2,4,6,8,10 etc.

5 pound readability -- 0,5,10,15 etc.

I would expect at least a 2 pound or 5 pound readability on a scale that size, but wanted to be sure of exactly they're expec�ng.

The scale shall have a 5 pound readability. Appendix F section 3.2.10.1. has been revised.

10. RE: Row spacers in the pallet rack –

3.2.8. appendix A asks for (3) RS per pair of frames – I believe we will only need (3) in the “A” rack (14’ tall) and then (2) in the rest of the configura�ons – am I correct?

Questions/Answers Set 2 Date 01 April 2024

Yes, 3 row spacers for 14’H pallet rack and 2 row spacers for 7’H pallet rack would be acceptable. The revised Appendix A (section 3.2.8.) is attached.

11. Also – in the flue space where we are straddling a building column – do you want row spacers there? If so I can es�mate the length needed.

Row spacers are not required where the pallet rack is straddling the building column.
