25. Appendix G: These three items, (A) single point watering system and electrolyte level indicator light and (B) battery roller stand, and (C) mobile water cart with hose & fill link, are recommended by the manufacturer to be included with the Rider-Reach Forklift requested. Without these items it is extremely difficult to refill the water compartments in the battery. This is based on feedback from the end user of a previous contract who had the same spec that did not have these items included. Thanks for the feedback. These three items may be included at your discretion as it is not specifically called out in the requirements.

26. Appendix F: Could you please confirm that the pit height is the same (20") at the front and back of the of the pit? Pit dimensions are provided in AF Drawing ALG310-01. For additional site prep, the site POC may be contacted, and, as needed, to possibly arrange for a site visit.

27. We’ve reviewed the description of the Rider-Reach Forklift and have supplied forklifts before from Crown and other manufacturers. A similar model we found would be the Crown RR (Rider “single” Reach) but this does not have an onboard charger or 24V battery – all your other specs match this model closely, but it seems that the description you provided align around a specific model or manufacturer you have in mind. I wanted to provide a little more clarity on this Rider- Reach – The closest model we found is a Crown RR5715-35. Note that this would not include an on-board charger – we are una-ware of a model able to handle the required specifications with an on-board charger. The battery with this sized unit is incapable of being charged by a standard 110V, and requires a hard wired charger (we can offer an AC power cord if the correct drop is installed prior to an order to Crown). Other vendors have been able to provide such forklifts with on-board chargers on previous solicitations with similar requirements. The on-board charger requirement is not a single/specific manufacturer requirement.

28. Appendix D, pg. 8, 3.3.1 LIGHT FIXTURES The PD calls for T-8 fluorescent lighting fixtures, and we offer LED as a standard. Are you OK with LED Lighting as an alternative, as long as the foot candles and lumen output are equal to or exceed the fluorescent lighting request (Meeting the minimum 50-foot candles lighting at a height of 3 feet from the floor and evenly maintained)? This is less maintenance over time and lower energy cost. Yes, LED meeting the minimum 50-foot candles are an acceptable equivalent.

29. You mention light switches shall be provided with recessed cover plates – This isn’t typical for modular office walls so we are just confirming. Yes, a cover plate is required.

30. In reference to the extra 10ft of conduit requested: Where do you want this conduit to go?

Are you looking to have this rolled up and hung on a hook installed to the power pole? Is the power pole already in place and installed, ready for use? A power pole is to be provided by the contractor. The 10ft is to allow the power pole to be relocated as needed.
