Question 12: Regarding the historical windows, the specified Peerless 9150 windows have been discontinued. Will the Army Core accept an equal or other alternate to what is called out in the Spec?

Answer 12: A Peerless 9150 (Single-Hung) window or equal is acceptable for this project. The basis of design is the Peerless 9150 (Single-Hung). Which is a window type that was customized for West Point and SHPO approval and used on all previous CBUP barracks renovations.

The product is not listed on the website but is also not discontinued.

This has been confirmed with the Upstate NewYork Peerless Products Sales Representative. Please see below:

"Hi Eric, as we discussed earlier, Peerless IS quoting the Bradley Barracks project.

Peerless will be quoting the same exact window as used in the last 6 Barracks projects at West Point, no exceptions will be taken...

The 9150 Single Hung quotation is being prepared right now, for four requested sub bidders, as specified in the contract documents.

Our standard West Point window material quote for the 9150 SH will be sent out this week, pending any postponement.

Please let me if there is anything more you would need"

Thank you
