c. "The cleaning line shall be capable of processing 120 parts in an 8 hour shift".

I am assuming the 120 parts referenced is of the maximum size listed. I need to know the process/cycle time in order to determine basket/ tank size to accommodate this throughput. Can you let me know A. is the 120 parts the largest parts? And B. what is the cycle time in each tank for the parts of the 120 pieces/per day.

d. In the scope section 3.7.3.1; it talks about relocating the existing parts washer, serial #03-201; and in section 3.3.4.7 it talks about providing a new parts washer. The question: would we be providing a new parts washer, or are we relocating the current parts washer?

Answer: The contractor shall provide a new parts washer, not relocate the existing parts washer. The wording from Section 3.7.3.1 requiring moving the parts washer to be moved should have been deleted when we changed the parts washer from an option to a requirement.
