AMENDMENT 0001
The purpose of this amendment is to answer requests for information received:
1) Can you please ask if there are bushing height or dimensional requirements since these appear to be replacements for existing?
ANSWER: We don’t have any special dimensional requirement, except by the footprint of the existing transformer. The new transformer needs to fit in the existing concrete pad, pads are approximately 80" x 60".
2) Is this bid open to reconditioned units?
ANSWER: No. We require brand new units only.
3) Can you also ask if they are interested in removal/disposal, or selling their existing transformer? They would need to waive the UL requirement.
ANSWER: Not applicable at this time. We are just acquiring the transformer and getting delivered it to the base. Once we are in the process of replacing the existing transformer with the new equipment, the government could be open to discussion.
