- THIS NOTICE CONSTITUTES AMENDMENT NO. 001 TO THECOMBINED SYNOPSIS/RFQ FOR VACUUMCHAMBER SYSTEM. Companies shall acknowledge all amendment(s) in their quote. This noticeserves as the official amendment to subject synopsis/RFQ and a written amendment will notbe issued.The purpose of this amendment is to answer the following offeror's questions:Q1) Is there additional information available on this chamber? The information providedis inadequate for a reliable response.For instance, the chamber ID is 11.75 while theOD is 16" Indicating an approximate 2" wall. A1) ID of chamber wall is 11.75", chamber body OD is 12". Upper and lower flanges are16" ODQ2) What is the material of construction? A2) 304SSQ3) Reference is to "both" chambers indicating two chambers. A3) Yes two chambers each with their own pumping systemQ4) Is the 6" feed-through the connection for the 6" turbo pump system? A4) There are two 6" feed-through on the system, one to the turbo pump, one on theopposite sideQ5) Are the feed-throughs over and above those required for the pumping system? A5) Yes, as above the 6 2.75" feedthroughs and one 6" feed through are NOT part of thepumping systemQ6) Is the chamber jacketed? A6) I don't understand the question, no special coatings or shielding requiredQ7) Where are the feedthroughs located? A7) One 6" feedthrough on top, one 6" feedthrough on bottom (pumping), and the 6 2.75"feedthrough located evenly around the sides of the chamber.Q8) Is this a "Bell Jar" system? Is the chamber horizontal or vertical?A8) Looking at a service well which could have a "bell jar" put on top, but mostlybecause that was a standard size that fit our application. Not looking at this time touse a bell jar with this system.Q9) Is there a sketch or drawing available?A9) No, there is not.Q10) Pressure: This is a mostly UHV chamber and pump, except for the top seal- basepressure should be less, clean dry and empty.A10) This is not a question?Q11) Feedthroughs: Assume this means 'ports'- There is a single 6"CF on the top, and asecond one for the pump- side of chamber or baseplate? A11) one 6" on top, one 6" on bottom for pumping, 6 2.75" spaced evenly around sidesQ12) (We don't know what you're putting in there!) Do the (6) 2 3/4" CF include the topreducer, and a blank?A12) Top reducer called out separately from the 6 2.75" blanksQ13) System-related: No mention of controls, or process internals, so we assume basic,manual control panel with safety interlocks. Is this correct?A13) Manual control panel not necessary, was not planning on interlocks, but if you wantto include them......Q14) Hoist for chamber/lid?A14) Not requested.Q15) Full-size standalone system, e.g. our CV302, or build as tabletop with half rack?A15) Not sure what the question is? Q16) Any corrosives/reactives requiring corrosive-series pumps?A16) No corrosives/reactives to be pumped.The due date for receipt of offers is not extended.Companies shall provide the information stated in the synopsis/RFQ posted on the NASAAcquisition Internet Service (NAIS) on September 2, 2008.
