TECHNICAL QUESTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS

1. What is the parking space dimensions, that the boiler needs to fit into?

Answer: length 20’ x width 10’

2. What is the maximum towing weight limit for the portable boiler (basically, what is the towing capacity of your pickup trucks?)?

Answer: 8,500 lb dry weight. If you do not drain the water out before you move the boiler then this weight needs to include water in the boiler and feed water tank and we will need to say so.

The enclosed trailer shall have a 2-1/2" ball hitch.

The portable boiler shall have a maximum towing weight of 8,500 lb dry (when boiler/ feed water tank filled with water?)

The Coast Guard intends to pull the portable boiler with a 3/4" ton pickup truck.

Answer: Clarification only

4. The boiler and boiler system equipment shall not be skid mounted.

5. In paragraph 2.8.1 the "new freestanding 17' inside trailer" means a new enclosed freestanding trailer that has an inside length of 17'.

Is this adequate for the Coast Guard?

Answer: The specification has been clarified above. The trailer shall be an enclosed trailer vice a van trailer; the trailer shall be new;

the trailer shall have a 2-1/2 ball hitch; it is the intent of the Coast Guard to pull the trailer with a 3/4 ton pickup truck. The inside length of the trailer shall be 17'. The trailer shall fit in a parking space of the dimensions defined above.
