Questions and Answers

1. Could you please confirm if the dimensions listed in section 3.3 of the PWS are flexible, or are they strict limits?

5. For clarification, does the rental price for 10 trailers over 5 years cover two trailers onsite?

RENTAL PRICE SHOULD BE QUOTED COST PER MONTH. IF AN ADDITIONAL

TRAILER IS REQUIRED A 2ND TASK ORDER WOULD BE WRITTEN AND THE

MONTHLY RENTAL WOULD BE OFF OF THAT FOR A 2ND ONE. (EXAMPLE:

MONTHLY TRAILER RENTAL $2950.00 PER MONTH) IF WE GET 4 TRAILERS IN

A ONE MONTH PERIOD IT WOULD BE BILLED AS 4 REGENERATIONS AND 1

MONTHLY RENTAL , IF A 2ND TASK ORDER IS USED FOR THE 2ND TRAILER IT

WOULD BE BILLED THE SAME WAY.

PWS 2.1 (B) CALLS OUT TABLE 1 UNDER 2.1.1 WHICH PROVIDES THE

INFLUENT WATER QUALITY AND FLOW RATES, SEE 2.1.1 / AFTER PASSING

THROUGH DI TRAILER BEFORE IT REACHES THE HOLDING TANKS IT GOES
