Can these tents be stacked or is it all water barreled? We have never used water barrels and only concrete blocks. What is the power output needed for each tent? The RFP lists electric generators but wasn t sure if there was a specific wattage or power need to figure out what size generators are best. The contractors have been provided with the diameters of the tents. It is up to the contractor to determine what is required for lighting of the tents. For portable restrooms, did you need standard porta Jon s or nicer bathroom trailers with water and power? Standard portable restrooms will be sufficient. Quantity Discrepancy: There appears to be a discrepancy between Section B.3 Price/Cost Schedule� and the Requirements of Space.

Could you please confirm which document should be followed for accurate quantities? Corrections have been supplied to Contracting. Changes will be implemented. Heater Requirement: The heater requirement appears to apply only to the Winter Gear Tent (two heaters noted). Can you confirm whether this is the only location requiring heat, or if additional tents will also need heating units? There are heaters required for VBA and Vaccination Tents. Generator Substitution: The Price Sheet specifies two (2) 20 KW generators.� Would it be acceptable to substitute these with one (1) 40 KW generator� providing equivalent or greater capacity? The number and size of generators will be strictly up to the contractor. Generators must be noise-reduction and must be able to supply power to every tent.
