Questions and Answers 22 March 2018 Q1: The Salient Characteristics document states that the requirement is for the unit of being able to deliver up to 3000 PSI of cleaning power. Karcher Item #: 1.109-075.0 delivers up to 2000 PSI of cleaning power. I am just making sure this is acceptable?

A1: 3000 PSI is the requirement. The line item description has been changed from “MFR: Karcher; Item #: 1.109-075.0; Description: HDS 4.0/20 E Ec Electric hot water washer OR EQUAL” to “MFR: Karcher; Item #: 1.109-076.0; Description: HDS 4.0/30 E Ec Electric hot water washer OR EQUAL”. Both “Attachment 1 Pricing Schedule” and “Attachment 2 Salient Characteristics” have been amended to reflect these changes.

Q2. What is the desired length for the double-wire braided hose, rated up to 4500 PSI?

A2: The following will be added into “Attachment 2 Salient Characteristics”: "Double-wire braided hose, rated for up to 4500 PSI. Hose must be at least 50 feet in length to allow reach throughout the confines of the user's facility".

Q3. Must include installation assistance, start up and training for the electric hot water washer. Do we include the costs associated with this into Line Item 0001 on the Pricing Schedule sheet?

A3: Several questions have been received in regard to the requirement for installation assistance. While nice to have, this is no longer a requirement. However, vendors must provide a comprehensive installation guide to allow the user and the Base Civil Engineering personnel to install the washer themselves. If vendors elect to provide installation assistance, it will be deemed complimentary and/or built into the price of CLIN 0001.

Q4. Delivery FOB Destination NLT 15 April. The unit we are quoting will have to be built and shipped. It could have a lead time of up to 3 or 4 weeks ARO. Is the delivery date flexible?

A4: Lead time of 3 to 4 weeks ARO is acceptable. The delivery date has been changed to no later than 15 May 2018.

Q5. Will the Government consider equivalent models that provide maximum of 2900 PSI? By allowing 2900 PSI, the Government will increase the competition.

A5. The user has re-iterated a hard requirement of 3000 PSI.
