Addition 2

Posted: 12/7/2022

Type of Addition: change due date NOT AN ADDENDUM

Overview: This is NOT AN ADDENDUM.  Please do not acknowledge.  Answering vendor questions, which will be published to all when we get answer.  That will be in the form of an addendum.

Deadline: 12/14/2022 1:00 PM

Addition 3

Posted: 12/7/2022

Type of Addition: Addendum 2

Overview: The following changes, additions and deletions have been provided:

CHANGE the due date from 12/7/22 1:00pm to 12/14/22 1:00pm.


QUESTIONS: The following questions were asked, and the answers follow:


Is the generator location at the discretion of the contractor? Yes

Do the generators need to supply enough power to run all aspects of the building they are connected to? For example, the 40Kw nor the 45Kw may not run the air conditioning at station 1.
The generators need to power lights, HVAC, refrigerators, hot water heaters, alarm system at all stations, and the back-up 911 room at Station 1. If you do not think a 45kw will be adequate for Station 1, then propose a higher capacity and explain why a lower capacity would not work.

Will underground gas line be an acceptable way to get fuel to the generators? Yes

Do all generators need to be Liquid cooled? No

Is there Lead time limitations? We'd like the generators as soon as possible, but we don't think there is much anyone can do about lead times.

Do they need to meet specific noise requirements? No

Will aluminum wire be acceptable? Yes

This addendum must be acknowledged, or your proposal may be deemed non-responsive.

If you've already submitted your proposal and want to make changes, you may rescind it at any time before the due date/time and re-upload it before the due date/time.

If you've already uploaded your proposal, but you have no changes, no action is required on your part; however, if you're selected as a vendor, we will request a letter affirming that you've received the addendum and it doesn't affect your proposal.
