About this file
This is a Question & Answer document from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Office of Preparedness and Emergency Management (OPEM) regarding Bid #BD-25-1031-OFFIC-OFANF-108828 for warehouse refrigeration at 20 Forge Parkway, Franklin, MA. The document addresses technical specifications for a commercial refrigeration installation, including requirements for a door opening of at least 48" wide to accommodate standard 48"x40" pallets, floor load capacity of up to 4,000lbs per pallet, and integration with a building-wide electronic access system. A site visit is scheduled for October 30, 2024, from 9:30-10:30 AM at the Franklin location.
The technical specifications indicate that the refrigerator will be placed adjacent to an exterior wall with 2-4 feet of service access space, and the refrigeration drain line can run directly to the exterior wall. The unit may be floorless as the warehouse floor cannot be modified for a recessed installation. The door can be either swing or sliding type, but must accommodate material handling equipment such as manual or electric pallet jacks (no forklifts). The unit must integrate with the building's keycard badging system for security access.
