1. Clarify pallets on hand: The total network number of pallets of 27,827, on page # 25, exactly matches 27,827 pallets continuous storage for Frederick. Is that an error or do I not understand something?
2. Clarify Implementation time line: What volumes distinguish Phase I from Phase II?
3. As I understand, this RFP does not include transportation. However some transportation functions, such as delivery status and PODs, are included. Can you clarify?
4. Are warehouses to be food grade? If so are they to be food grade compliant or certified?
5. How much advance notification will the 3PL receive for inbound merchandise?
6. Define ambient temperature range. Will Frederick area require heating and will the Las Vegas area require air conditioning?
7. Will there be any HAZMAT? If so what quantities by class?
