About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) addendum for a Request for Quotes (RFQ) issued by the State of Oregon, specifically for the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Enterprise Asset Management (EAM). The RFQ solicitation #S-10700-00013334 seeks to procure air compressors and an air dryer for Revenue and Print Plant Buildings, with quotes due on April 14, 2025, at 2:00 PM PST. The procurement includes one 10 HP air compressor, two 25 HP air compressors, and a refrigerated air dryer. The Q&A document addresses technical specifications and clarifications from potential bidders, including requirements for PSI, oil-free preference, run times (18-hour days normally, 24-hour operation intermittently), and confirmation of a one-time purchase.
The Q&A addendum provides detailed responses to bidder inquiries about equipment specifications, such as variable speed drive capabilities, turndown ratios, and equipment configuration. Notably, the state will use existing pressure vessels, tanks, and filter setups, and does not require additional condensate treatment. Bidders are encouraged to quote on air compressors meeting the RFQ specifications, with flexibility to propose alternatives like the Quincy QGSV series. The document also indicates a preference for quotes that include both standalone and integrated dryer options, allowing for pricing comparisons. The procurement emphasizes finding the best value solution that meets the technical requirements for the Revenue and Print Plant Buildings' compressed air system.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
(Dated: April 02, 2025)
1. Question: First off with the 10 hp machine, none of our suppliers have – and I am unable to find
– any direct drive, variable speed 10 hp. machine (either screw or scroll), anywhere. Do you have a specific model that you were looking at so that we could see exact specifications for a unit like that?
Answer: Bidders are encouraged to quote on 10 hp air compressor(s) that are meeting the Compressor Specifications in the RFQ which may include Quincy QGSV series air compressors and other similar commodities if they meet the Compressor Specifications.
2. Question: Second, you indicate that all three of these compressors are to be provided tankless, which is no problem. Are there remote air vessels somewhere that will hold air for this system (ideally, before the air dryer) or will the system be used completely without any compressed air storage?
Answer: Yes. Pressure vessels are existing and in good order, no need for vessels to be included.
3. Question: Finally on the 20:1 turndown ratio — I understand that to mean that the compressor has the ability to run at approximately 95% flow without unloading, is that what you are asking for?
Answer: With a direct drive, variable speed 20:1 turndown means it has the capability to run anywhere from 5-100% capacity as needed instead of running loaded/unloaded.

4. Question: 25 HP VSD compressor? Can I quote with integrated dryer??
Answer: Please provide quote for integrated dryer unit as alternate along with compressor only.
5. Question: Refrigerated dryer to match cfm from a 25 HP compressor? This would be a 2nd dryer?
Answer: This would be primary dryer, if integrated is being quoted, would like pricing difference between stand alone units as well.

Answer: No. We are using existing tank.
7. Question: No filter?
Answer: No. We are using existing set up, and we will change filters as needed.
