Heat Pumps A/C Units

The purpose of Amendment A004 is to answer the following question:

Q. I just wanted to clarify. We were told Friday, onsite that the ACs needed to be replaced although the solicitation states just delivery. Please clarify what is needed. Also, if in fact you do need just the equipment, would you like it delivered by my team or just shipped to the site?

A. The solicitation states the requirement is “ five (5) Heat Pumps A/C Units as outlined in the attached Specifications.” The CLIN structure states 5 heat pump ac units with shipping and handling. The delivery is your choice. No installation is required. The AC units Spec sheet states, “the purchase of five (5) a/c heat pumps to replace damage ones in Falcon Dam field project.”Amendment A002 was posted to answer the question if the units were only for delivery or was installation needed as well. As mentioned on the response, the requirement is for delivery without installation.
