HEARING PROTECTION DEVICES

All written questions are reproduced in the same format as submitted by the Vendor.

Question #1 As far as the payment, is it possible to get an advance payment to make the purchase for the Hearing Protection Devices?

Answer #1

NO

Question #2 I wanted to ask if the hearing protection devices you seek are single use earplugs or more towards a multi use device such as an earband or ear muff?

Answer #2

SEE SECTION 2 – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Question #3 Do you want corded or uncorded ear plugs?

Answer #3

Question #4 Is the product meant to protect against continuous steady state, impulse noise or both?

Answer #4

Question #5

Given that the OSHA Action Level for Hazardous Noise is 85dB, and the Permissible Exposure Level is 90dB, would FDLE consider a product that would slightly exceed 80dB maximum output? 3M Peltor electronic hearing protectors maximum output is 82dB which is well below OSHA's requirements.
