13) Question: During the walk I volunteered to have one of our installers, who is familiar with the ‘lift’ type system of working with modular furniture, come to the building and assess the furniture in the XP area. All of us who attended were concerned that area’s furniture might not be suitable for a ‘lift’. Our expert will not be available until early next week, but the assessment should be immediate. Will that work for you? There will still be almost 2 weeks from that assessment and the bid. Should we set up a second site visit?
