Answers to the following Request for Clarifications (RFC) are as follows:

QUESTION NO.1: Work Item D-06, 5 Year Boiler Certification; : 1: Lead Time on the new valves will likely be longer than the performance period will allow, should this be the case, contractor recommends a clean and visual inspection of existing Re-Install to be replace by CG once the New Valves arrive on site post performance period. Would that be acceptable?

And worked together, is that acceptable?

3. Can the base Kodiak Support Services take the boiler water, I believe that may even be a requirement?
