2/26/24 M006 is issued to add the following information regarding the PSW:

1. On the PSW document on the requirements section on page 5 section A refers to a 300 Gallons Diesel fuel tank as follows:

New Power Generator: Rating 300 KW/375 KVA capacity, 60 Hertz frequency,

300 Gallons Diesel Tank, Energy Efficient Generator, Minimum/Maximum 3-Phase 480/277 Volts, Main Power Outage Self-Restart, Phase Monitor, Ultra-Coat Rotor Protectant, Air Quality Compliance (ISO 8573), and Engine Electrical System (24 VDC, Battery Charger Alternator, and Negative Ground Polarity).

Then section D describing the fuel tank it refers to a 660 Gallons fuel tank

Diesel Tank: Comply with UL142 (underwriters laboratory), Attached Type Tank, Capacity 660 Gallons, Double Walls, Vents, Factory Pressure Tested 2-PSI, Rupture Basin Alarm, Fuel Level system, Painted, and Stainless-Steel Hardware. Fuel Lock-off Solenoid, Primary Fuel Filter.

Question is if it's still ok to ask which size is the one required 300 or 660 gallons?

Answer: We concur to remove section D in the PWS. These 660 gallons was an extra portable tank beside the 300 gallons already included in the Generator, but we decide to remove it from the requirements for this project and keep the 300 gallons tank that comes with the Generator.
