NDARNG Armory Commercial Kitchen Equipment/Appliances

AMENDMENT No. 0005:

          Questions and Answers raised by an interested and qualified vendor last week:

                QUESTION 1: Item # K4 -- This is a countertop unit and no type of stand, table, or cabinet was called out for it to be mobile or to be installed on.  Drawing shows it out in the dinng area.  No sure how to quote this other than as is.

                ANSWER 1:  Milk Dispenser must be mobile.

                QUESTION 2:  Item # K9 -- This is only a dispenser, it does not make ice and has no lid on top as it's meant to have an ice maker installed on top to make ice for it to store and dispense.  not even sure if any plumbing connections are called out in the drawings for one to be added in.

                ANSWER 2:  Ice Dispenser / Ice Maker, needs to hold and produce ice.

                QUESTION 3:  Item # K 45 -- This unit was originally a Cleveland gas unit.  It is now called out as a Vulcan electrical unit.  The accessories are still the Cleveland gas unit accessories.  Can make changes to an electrical Cleveland to keep the accessories the same some what.

                ANSWER 3:  Tilting kettle and accessories must be similar to Vulcan Electric.  No Gas.

                QUESTION 4:  The "Building Contractor to Install" is on line items that are just accessories.  Is the Contractor installing the whole unit for us or just the single accessory?  Doesn't quite make sense.  This is on multiple items.

                ANSWER 4:  Contractor shall install the whole unit, to include all accessories.

                QUESTION 5:  On the Drawing's Kitchen equipment schedule they have that the GC is supplying the hoses for certain items and the gas hoses for certain items .. but in the specification list it does not mention this under that called-out accessory.  Just need to confirm if we are not to include those items.

               ANSWER 5:  General Contractor is supplying hoses for gas items.

               QUESTION 6:  Item # K 49A -- This double stack oven is called out with a bakery depth model number but then states it to be a standard depth model in the description.  This is like a $10,000 difference and our company wants to make sure we quote the actual model needed.

              ANSWER 6:  Only standard depth is needed.

             QUESTION 7:  Item # K 22 is a little vague with no model numbers called for the multiple items listed in the description .. one item we believe is actually item K 21 and just miss-typed.  In the drawing it seems to show all of K 22 items to be installed under this K 21 table but this table is called out with an under shelf and legs of the over-shelf running through.  Need more clarification to ensure the correct items are being quoted for the owner.

              ANSWER 7:  A drawing of K 22 is attached within this Amendment No. 0005.  It is an overhead rack.

                                                                      ----- END of AMENDMENT ------
