Questions and Answers Dated: 4 January 2021

1. When would you expect the bearings to be ready for pickup by the supplier?

Answer: Both bearings are currently packaged and ready to be picked up (Monday-Thursday 0700-

1700).

2. Should the supplier also arrange return shipping?

Answer: The contractor is responsible for all shipping as identified in Section 3.1.1 of the specifications.

3. Two difference shipping addresses are mentioned in the RFQ and Specification. Since they are in the same zip code, it should make little difference in quoting, but can you confirm the correct address? (See Spec 3.1.1.A, and RFQ, Pg 4)

Answer: The shipping address in the specifications will be used for the shipping address of both bearings. The address listed in the RFQ is the main address that is contained within the contract writing system.

4. Some of your requirements require providing information 10 days in advance of work, and the final inspection requires 7 days advance notice. Based on these requirements, when do you expect the work to start?

Answer: The work will begin on the date of award, which is anticipated to be made around 14 January

2021.

5. I saw that you need the spare bearing back quickly. What type of turnaround are you looking for on the spare and the damaged bearing, assuming it will now become the spare (with additional stock)?

Answer: We have specified a 30-day turnaround time on the bearing requiring a skim cut and a 90 day turnaround on the bearing requiring rebabbitting.

6. Witness of final inspection may be required. Could this be done remotely using technology to allow live witnessing or recorded inspection?

Answer: Although virtual inspections may be entertained, final inspection details will be determined when bearings are available following contract award.
