A1.) Typically, 40xx steel
Q2.) The solicitation also mentions that that the low end of the qualified temperature range is 200°F. That is very low for a furnace that will also be used at up to 1250°F. Can you please confirm the minimum temperature requirement?
A2.) 200F is our minimum required temperature required
Q3.) Paragraph 7.7 of Amendment 0001 states both a 3-year warranty period and a 2-year warranty period. Can you please tell me which warranty period is required?

Q7.) Can you please define the distance that the furnaces must be rigged from the entrance doorway to the location where they will be installed?
A7.) About 250 feet south and 85 feet east – however, the riggers will determine final route
Q8.) Can you also please define whether loads be placed in furnaces that are at room temperature or preheated?
A8.) Most loads are processed from room temperature
Q9.) Can you please define your heat up rate requirements (time to heat a 2000 lb. load to 1250F)?
A9.) No heat up rate requirements will be defined at this time
Q10.) Please define any additional heat up rate requirements that you may have.
A10.) No additional heat up rate requirements will be defined at this time
Q11. Please provide the available space of the areas where the furnaces will be installed (length, width, and height).
