QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Below are the questions received and the government’s responses:

Q1: Does the HPU need to have the exact same foot print?

A1: No, the foot print does not have to be exactly the same as shown on the reference drawings. The dimension will be dependent on the actual components, but we do need a unit in the general configuration for handling and installation.

Q2: Does the HPU need to be elevated off of the ground as shown in the pictures?

A2: Yes, it must be elevated because the HPU will be located on the lock wall which is subject to flooding.

Q3: Can the HPU have a “T shaped” reservoir?

A3: The T-shaped reservoir is generally acceptable, but we want to insure that components are located at an appropriate height for a mechanic to service.

Q4: Is it necessary to have the steel structure around the HPU ?

A4: Yes, the steel structure helps to protect the unit when moving and when installed on the lock wall.

Q5: Is the USACE opposed to updating the components? i.e. service valves, and or pump/motor assemblies.

A5: The drawings provided were for reference only. Updating of components is acceptable although, as a sealed bid, award will be made to the lowest priced, responsible bidder.
