- Description
- The purpose of this amendment is to provide additional information. 1) How many portable units will be purchased for U.S. Navy ships? Answer: No set number can be placed for this as our ordering capabilities will depend on funding, ship availabilities, life expectancies, and other factors. 2) Can we get mounting dimensions for Siemens Military Multix Pro? Answer: Mounting dimensions should now be available via the Drawings document we are adding to the RFI. 3) The High-capability portable has transport restriction of 68" H while low-capability portable has restriction of 75" H and the Low-capability system only has a 75"H restriction. The 68" H transport restriction seems to be restrictive, GE is requesting a 75" H restriction for both systems. Answer: Due to the low hang of certain ceiling structures onboard Navy Ships (i.e. Surgical Lights in OR), the ceiling height for the High-Cap unit was set at 68 to reduce the probability that the unit will come into contact with any low-hanging obstructions. As for the Low-Cap units, since they are almost always set in a tilted-back position during transit, they are allotted a larger maximum height for transport mode. 4) Is 700 lbs. weight hard limit for high capability portable? Is 100 lbs. hard limit for low capability portable? Answer: No; this is a target limit, units that exceed this weight will not be excluded from this review. 5) Does tether for the detector have to be permanent (cannot remove tether from detector)? Answer: Tethered is the more optimal configuration, although if there is a significant cost difference in tethered vs hardwired, and the hardwired configuration could enable detectors to be swapped out in the event of failure in a short amount of time, then the hardwired configuration would be acceptable/preferred. 6) What is meant by "automatic or internal line voltage compensation"? Answer: Due to the fluctuation of the ships voltage, the power that will be fed to the x-ray unit will vary, as such, the calibration of the kVp output of the units has been known to vary in certain units depending upon the exact incoming voltage that is powering the unit, which requires that any x-ray unit to be installed onboard a Navy Ship have a automatic or internal line voltage compensation to accommodate for these fluctuations by the supplied power.
