AMENDMENT 0001: 1 June 2023, 2:45pm.

This amendment addresses the following questions and provides responses:

Q: The requirements provided do not provide sufficient information on the specific metal powders being stored and the options listed are not rated for storing metal powders.

A: The containers of metal powder will never be opened and exposed to the environment inside the storage building. This type of storage container is sufficient for its intended use.

Q: Automatic dry chemical fire suppression systems support Class A, B and C fires only and are not rated for Class D fires. Manual fire extinguishers are only available for Class D fires only. Please request the model of the dry chemical fire suppression system that the specifications are based since standard systems are not rated for Class D fires.

A: Since a Class D automatic fire suppression system is not available, please provide manual Class D fire extinguishers per the statement of work section 2.3, option 2.

Q: Also cabinets are not rated for storing metal powders and separate storage bays will be needed for separating incompatible chemicals or powders being stored. Incompatible metal powders will need to be stored in separate storage bays with duplicate HVAC systems to support each bay.

A: The containers of metal powder will never be opened and exposed to the environment inside the storage building. Separate storage bays and rated cabinets are not necessary. The statement of work specifies shelves or flammable storage lockers, not cabinets per section 2.8 options 1 and 2

Q: What is the temperature range needed to maintain for the heating and cooling options and is continuous running ventilation needed?

A: The building will need to be maintained a relative air humidity 10 – 75 % and a room temperature 18 – 25 ºC. Continuous ventilation is not needed.

Q: Please confirm the explosion proof rating for all electrical options and the electrical supply voltage and phase available since multiple voltages and phases were listed and it is unclear what voltage and phase is required.

A: Explosion proof rating should be Class 2. The incoming power to the storage container will be single phase 208/120v, 100 amp service. The recommended circuit panel is a 100 amp, 250V, 20 circuit panel in the container.
