QUESTIONS: General 1) The contract warranty requests a one (1) year warranty that consists of the whole unit and not just the parts replaced or repaired. Will you revise this to a standard repair warranty? Response: Yes. Please see the revised warranty below under section three (3). 2) Can you confirm if Vacuum Pressure Impregnation is necessary for the motors in this contract? Response: Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) is only necessary as referenced by OEM specifications of the equipment. 3) Please provide details on what is required of the tear down reports. We offer 3 levels of reports. A level one report consists of a minimal report on the condition of the pump and repairs required, a level two report includes measurements and clearances and a level three report will include digital photos as well. Response: SAWS nomenclature may be different than some of the vendors. To clarify, a Repair Work Scope will be provided to SAWS within five (5) business days and provides SAWS with the estimate as to what needs to be repaired/ replaced, along with the estimated quote (cost) to make those repairs. The Final report shall be provided to SAWS thirty (30) days after SAWS has accepted the submersible pump train or centrifugal pump. Please reference page thirteen (13) fifteen (15) under Documentation. 4) Can the bid date be moved to August 6th? Response: Yes. Bid date has been changed to August 6, 2014. 5) Can you please revise Repair Work Scope/Quote time to 15 days? It is important that a good Repair Work Scope/Quote is performed to properly diagnose the problem and determine the correct course for repair. The requested timeframe will make it difficult to put together an informative report. Response: SAWS requires the Repair Work Scope/Quote be submitted to us within five (5) business days. Please reference requirements under Repair Work Scope/Quote on page sixteen (16) item one (1). Page 2 of 5
6) We ask that the requested time to repair a pump be considered to be after parts are on hand? Response: This is already addressed in the bid document. Please reference page thirteen (13) under Documentation fourth paragraph. 7) We ask for a 30 day repair time for large pumps? Response: SAWS requires all pumps to be repaired within twenty (20) business days. Please reference page sixteen (16) under Service item two (2). If repair is estimated to take longer than twenty (20) business days vendor shall contact SAWS for approval prior to proceeding with repair. Extension of days to repair pumps will be handled on a case by case basis. 8) Can the tear down cost be by size (HP) or by group? Response: Please see revised price schedule below under section IV. II. Due Date for question(s) was extended as discussed in the mandatory pre bid meeting Date revised to July 24, 2014 5:00 p.m.. III. Revised warranty specification. The first two sentences have been removed from the warranty section. Warranty: The warranty period will consist of the whole unit and not just the part that was replaced or repaired. Warranty will start on the date of acceptance of Submersible Trains and Centrifugal Pumps. If a pump is returned on warranty, then the warranty period will be extended the same number of days that the pump is in the contractor's shop for repairs. The vendor warrants to SAWS that all work will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with SAWS specifications, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards and all new material, workmanship or design, data and other requirements set forth in the Agreement. The vendor shall provide a written non pro-rated one (1) year warranty (parts and labor) that shall apply to all Submersible Trains and Centrifugal Pumps for a period of one (1) year from the date of accepted repair.
