********************QUESTIONS/ANSWERS**********************

 

Question 1.       The specifications of the SOW indicate a cantilevered-design platform.  Would a non-cantilever-type solution be considered if it met or exceeded the operational requirements?

          Answer 1:  No, the platforms must be a mechanical cantilever type.

Question 2.       The SOW specifies that the motion be controlled by means of a PLC. It appears that the current "newer" units on the floor may simply employ limit switches and relays; is this acceptable for the new systems, or is computer control mandatory?

           Answer 2:  The platforms must be pushbutton operated and PLC controlled.

 Question 3.       What will be the operational voltage supplied for powering the lifting mechanism?

           Answer 3:  480V, 3-phase is available at the electrical bus.

Question 4.       The 6 inches per second travel speed seems to be somewhat excessive when moving a large platform that interfaces closely with very expensive engines.  Is that actually what has been determined to be the optimal speed of travel?  Would a variable frequency drive be desirable that would allow speeds "as high as" 6"/sec, but could be moved at a much slower rate when practical?

                 Answer 4:  It would be acceptable for the speed to be adjustable if the 30ft/min can be met.

********************QUESTIONS/ANSWERS**********************

 

QUESTION 1:    Part I, Item (4), Section (b.).  The existing units are anchored to thefloor, but are free standing as not to tie off to the existing steelstructure.  Is the current requirement the same?

        ANSWER:  The requirement is the same and clarified in the updated SOW 

QUESTION 2:  Part I, Item (10) Please confirm that government is removing the lifts and all connecting utilities, in full.

        ANSWER:  This is confirmed and clarified in the updated SOW.

 QUESTION 3:  Will there be a staging area available for material during the installation?

        ANSWER:  A staging area will be provided in building 9001.

QUESTION 4:   Can you please clarify; does this indicate a working load rating of 3000 lbs, or an engineered proof load rating of 3000 lbs?  As required by OSHA, a platform such as this is to be engineered to a 4X factor of the working load rating.  If that WLR is 3000 pounds, the proof load would be 12,000 pounds.  Is this correct, or does your 3000 pound value include the safety factor?

        ANSWER:  Yes, in those terms the 3000 pounds would be the working load rating.
