QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS: 1. May we ask what the offloading capabilities are at the facility? And What was the method of delivery for the material delivered in the past? Answer: The salt is delivered inside a tanker-style trailer. The trailer has a discharge pipe in the rear end and a hose is connected to it and then to the inlet pipe on the CEP building. The salt is then pumped into the brine tanks by use of the tractor that is pulling the trailer via a pneumatic PTO system. The same way was used before. 2. salt requested, should Packaged bags, or loose be emptied in a storage container? No. And should this be coarse industrial? No. Answer: There is no grade specified in the Statement of Need. As long as it meets the specifications stated. Please read the STATEMENT OF NEED (SON). It will be used for water treatment, therefor water softener salt would be required. 3. Any particular type of salt? Answer: Must be granular and not powder. 4. My contractor is asking about specs and we have gone through the solicitation. Is there any more information you can give regarding the truck/ pneumatic system used? No? Is there a company already in place or a previous company that I can learn from to better fulfill this need? No? I thank you in advance for your help and time. Answer: James A. Haley has a service contract through MAR COR DIALYSIS for repair and maintenance. They have provided bulk salt in the past. Since bulk salt is a commodity buy, a separate contract for the bulk salt must be in place. This is the only information available.
