Addendum 2

Questions and Answers:

1. Are the two Stainless Steel tank requirements a Must Have for Keys Energy to evaluate a Bid?

KEYS will evaluate proposals received for the base bid, alternate bid 1, or alternate bid 2. Bidding one of the three options is acceptable.

2. Can international manufacturers (outside North America) submit bids provided all ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards are fully met?

Yes. Bids from international manufacturers, provided that all applicable ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards are fully met can be submitted as well.

3. Would a domestic U.S.-based service partner satisfy the requirement for field service availability in the Southeast?

Yes., a U.S.-based service partner is acceptable.

4. If barge delivery is required due to bridge restrictions, will KEYS assist with coordination or provide guidance for offloading at the Florida Keys Aqueduct facility?

5. This RFQ requires 1 design for full stainless-steel tank and radiators. A second design is for a steel tank with stainless steel cover and stainless-steel radiators. We can’t build all stainless steel tank, but we can build a steel tank with a stainless steel cover. We can’t use stainless steel radiators. Also, we won’t be able to use the Acrolon Ultra High gloss paint. We will use our standard paint. Will the customer accept a bid with these exceptions?

There are 3 options to bid:

-All stainless steel tank (Base bid) -Mild steel tank with stainless steel top (alternate bid 1) -All mild steel tank (alternate bid 2)

All 3 options must have stainless steel radiators, stainless steel control cabinet, and stainless steel nitrogen cabinet.

Alternate paint options are acceptable if KEYS deems it to be an equivalent.

Yes. The scope of work includes fabrication, delivery, unloading, field assembly, and field testing. KEYS will have a foundation ready upon transformer arrival.

7. The current Transformer Accuracy is not specified in spec-please provide. Also, this seems to be a replacement unit. Can you confirm if there are any dimension restrictions? If possible, please provide the dimensions or the previous nameplate.

All CT’s should be C400 accuracy class except for X1 and X2, which are C100s. An outline drawing of the existing transformer is attached for reference. Clearance issues are not a concern at this substation due to ample space.

8. Would you be open to considering a bid for transformers manufactured in South Korea, including the steel tank?

While KEYS maintains a preference for North American manufacturing, bids from international manufacturers can be submitted as well, provided that all applicable ANSI, IEEE, and NEMA standards are fully met
