Knee clearance extends at least 19" under the table

Table Height adjustable from 30" to 37.5" Tall

Table surface material needs to be ESD (electro static dissipative)

Tables to be equipped with built-in power strip on side of table

Tables to be fabricated with 2" x 2", square 18-gauge furniture grade steel tubing

Answer
Hello,


I am unsure of your question but I will address the ADA requirements. The measurements listed in the bid requirement will meet the ADA requirements due to the adjustability of the tables along with the wheels.


As for the knee requirements, that is only applicable if there is a crossbar in the middle of the table whereas in our requirements, we require the crossbar under the table providing support be installed on the very back of the table, not middle.
