ADDENDUM # 1
Attached are the vendor questions with State responses regarding RFQ #7602809 Schneider Modular Battery Replacement Service – CCRI
Vendor A
Please advise if you are looking for 16x SYBT4 each or total for PS1331333409 and PS1211331463 in line item 1
Please advise if you are looking for 2x SYBT4 each or total for PS1331333409 and PS1211331463 in line item 2
The line items describe the required batteries. There are 16 strings of 4, and then 2 strings of 4. Each unit requires 36 batteries total. The line items represent a cost savings per the manufacturer. This project is something that Schneider is aware of. The manufacturer can be contacted for additional clarity. This bid requires manufacturer provided service, Schneider SKU WUPGMBRS7X24-MB-00.
Can the work be performed doing normal business hours
NO. Off Hours are required for this service. We require Schneider SKU WUPGMBRS7X24-MB-00.
Are both units in the same building
YES
Do you have a loading dock
YES. Freight to the loading dock must be included as part of the bid.
Who will transport the modules from the receiving area to the UPS equipment
CCRI
Is the installer responsible for the disposal of the replaced batty modules
YES. The installer must dispose of the replaced battery modules.
Vendor B
The RFQ doesn’t have a line for freight charges, but I would assume you want that included in the bid. These batteries are heavy and shipping charges will be several hundred dollars. I would like to get
an accurate freight quote for this and include it in the pricing. Can you please ask the site to complete and return the attached freight quote request form?
Freight must be included as part of the bid. Please see the attached Freight Quote Request Form.
Vendor C
I was wondering if there is an estimate project value and start date for the project above? The start date has not been determined. This service will require a power down and that will have to be planned according to our schedule.
