A: No Are plywood or particle board shelves acceptable? A: No Do the shelves need to be adjustable? Room 153 (South) Helicopter Parts shows 11 individual ranges of shelving in a footprint of 25' deep X 35" wide, is this correct? Room 154 (North) MISC Shelves show 7 individual ranges of shelving in a footprint of 20' deep X 35' wide, is this correct? If room 154 has only seven ranges do you want the floor and rail system to go the entire length (35')of the room? A: Yes. Do the shelving uprights need to be opened or closed?

Bullets not followed by an "A:" - refer to attached drawings. Group 8 Questions: COMMENT: After looking at the Q & A and drawings - the shelving width sizes that were drawn are not typically standard sizes and only 2'0" per section across for the majority of the systems. Also the system on the South Wall for Helicopter Parts would only leave less than a 2' access aisle while on the North Side there would be a 10' aisle. CLARIFICATION: With the regards to the isle space on the South end, we opened a space between the shelves for clarity on the floor plan. Based on the dimensions s (412"or 34'-4") that leaves a total of 3'-4" for the isle. On the North end, the isle is 11'-4". Units A/C on the South end are 4'-0", we have shown them as 4'-2" per unit so it would be easier to understand the floor plan. If the user needs to lose a row, preference is to drop Row C from the Lakota LUH-72. But at the same time user would like Row A Lakota to become a hybrid. User would like that row to become a combination of A and C cabinets. A Cabinet type should be the majority. (Roughly 2/3) Q-1: Would alternate shelf sizes and layouts providing more useable capacity be acceptable solutions to the overall mission statement? A: Yes. Q-2: Will the due date for responses be extended a few days? A: Yes, Change from 11:00AM 14 February 2012 to 4:00PM 16 February 2012.
