Question and Anwers – Lockers and Drawers

Question 1: In the women's changing room, a bench was shown to us which is intended to serve as a reference/example. This bench is permanently connected to the backrest and the coat rack section. In the solicitation, however, these two items are listed separately, with the requirement that the backrest be freestanding.

Response: The coat rack and back rest can be one unit or two separate units as listed in the solicitation.
