QUESTION #1: Would a solution utilizing 2 EA 20ft ISO containers to make up the 16’ x 16’ x 8’ space requirement be acceptable to the Government?

ANSWER #1: No, the Government requires the ease of seeing up this classroom without the use of heavy equipment and operators to set it in place. In addition, the Government requires the ease of transporting this item across rough terrain.

QUESTION #2: Should the trailer system be integrated in the building, or can the building components be placed on a trailer at the time of movement?

QUESTION #3: Would solar power to supplement the diesel generator be considered?

ANSWER #3: Yes, as a supplement, solar power will be considered. However, with the limited amount of light in the winter and during cloudy conditions, the Government requires a reliable power source (diesel generator) to support the electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and COMM requirements.

QUESTION #4: Are there requirements for the number of entry/exit points and windows?

ANWSER #4: Yes, the wall must be movable as to allow items to be loaded into it, but can be closed in a solid structure that has sufficient insulation to withstand winter weather conditions. The doors are primarily for personnel entry only and the unit must have at least one. The Government requests a minimum of 2 EA windows, one on each side of the classroom that can serve as an egress window in the event of an emergency.

QUESTION #5: Does the Shelter require a floor? If so, can the trailer be incorporated into the design and be a part of the floor?

ANSWER #5: Yes, the modular classroom requires a flooring system suitable to withstand ground moisture conditions and can easily be cleaned and maintained. The trailer may be incorporated into the flooring system provided that it does not interfere with the overall 16’ x 16’ dimensions, and can be folded up in suitable dimensions for towing.

QUESTION #6: Does the shelter need to be insulated?

ANSWER #6: Yes, it is intended for year-round use, and must be cost efficient to run both heating and cooling systems.

QUESTION #7: Are the trailer dimensions correct (8’H x 4’W x 20’L)?

QUESTION #9: Are there any paint/color requirements?

ANSWER #9: There are no specific requirements for paint, although skin should be durable to meet the 30-year life cycle requirement.
