Additional Notes
The requirement for Baldor Reliance brand motors (part# SUM70506) is critical due to the non-standard housing of existing motors, which ensures compatibility with existing speed reducers. Using alternative brands would necessitate significant structural frame modification, estimated at $102,631, and incur recurring costs. The brand-name procurement is estimated to save approximately $48,577 compared to modification costs.
