Q51 - Annex B, 3.15 a: It is noted that the MERV 14 requirement is extremely stringent and normally reserved for medical rooms and clean room environments. Assuming this is the requirement, must all shelters be sealed to the extent that a positive air pressure may be maintained inside the shelters? A51 - To be considered technically compliant the shelters offered must meet the requirements outlined in Annex B Q52 - Annex B, 3.16.e: We suggest that parts like the PVC liner, tent frame, solid tent floor, ground stakes etc. do not need a transit case to get protected against rough handling since these parts are normally packed in flexible strong PVC bags. Is this acceptable? A52 - No this will not be considered an acceptable solution. Q53 - Do the HVAC units require a local disconnect switch to turn unit off for safe servicing on the unit or will service people simple unplug the power? A53 - The HVAC and Air Heater units must have a local on/off switch to deactivate them when not required. The service personnel will follow the instructions provided in the training and listed in the service manual to ensure save servicing of the HVAC. Q54 - Maintaining an internal ambient condition of C at +49C will be very uncomfortable for the interior occupants especially after entering the shelter from the external ambient temperature condition. Please confirm that this is the required internal cooling required at this extreme external ambient temperature (+49C) condition A54 - Confirmed, The HVAC must meet the requirements as specified in Annex B. To provide for user comfort the thermostat for the HVAC must be capable of controlling the HVAC to provide an internal shelter temperature of between the minimum possible ambient condition and at least +30 degrees Celsius Q55 - Please verify if the HVAC unit requires its own filter and to what MERV level is preferred? A55 - The HVAC and Air heater must be compatible with the Air Purification device as specified in Annex B. When not connected to the Air Purification device, air from the HVAC and Air Heater must pass through filter with an efficiency rating of MERV 6 in accordance with ANSI/ASHRAE: Q56 - Does the 4 soldier maximum weight limit also apply to the HVAC and air heater units if they are mounted on wheels? A56 - No the 4 soldier maximum weight limit does not apply to the HVAC and the Air heater unit. Should the provided solution require that the HVAC or Air Heater units exceed a maximum weight of 92 kg, than those units must be provided with removable wheels allowing for transport over unpaved terrain, and be forkliftable with forklift guides or a forkliftable base.
