Anchor all equipment to building floor or structure as shown or as recommended by manufacturer with allowance

for thermal expansion as necessary.

Control and Instrument Panel: Rigidly attach enclosure to structural element of the building. Locate panel so

that all control switches and indicators are within 1700 mm (5.5 feet) of the floor and are located alongside the area

where personnel will be loading the unit.

Initially operate incinerator at firing rates and time periods recommended by the manufacturer of the

refractory to provide proper curing of the refractory. Provide printed curing instructions from refractory manufacturer

at the site prior to first start up.

Personnel Protection for High Surface Temperature: If incinerator has surface temperatures exceeding 40 degrees

C (70 degrees F) above ambient, provide removable chain barricades mounted on 1070 mm (3 1/2 feet) high removable steel

posts spaced 1200 mm (four feet) on centers. Locate barricade at least 900 mm (three feet) away from hot surfaces.

Provide yellow polyethylene chain with removable hooks at each post. Provide sign attached to each chain reading,

“Caution, High Temperature”.

Do you have model YD-500 as a mobile unit? In case of a major crisis in one of the clusters we would like to have

the option to move the unit closer to the location to avoid transporting the dead cows. Do you have any mobile

solution?

Please elaborate what additional equipment we will need to buy to operate each unit? I need to know the total cost

per unit.

Does the unit need to be under a roof?
How is the loading of the dead cow into the incinerator done?
How is the incinerator emptied?
Are there any limitations on how we should dispose the remains from the incinerator?
Does the unit require a dedicated trained operator? How long does it take to train one?
Do you send your engineer for installation, commissioning and operation?
Assuming we have 3 dead cows a day per incinerator – how many hours a day it would take to complete the job?
In case of crisis can the unit work continuously 24H a day?
Is there any impact of smoke or smell on the surrounding?

3.2 INSPECTIONS AND TESTS:

General: Demonstrate to the Department of Veterans Affairs that all equipment complies with requirements. The

Contracting Officers Technical Representative (COTR)/Resident Engineer (RE), or their representative shall witness all
