Amendment A00002: Answers to Industry Submitted Questions

National Technology & Development Program, Missoula, MT

Generator Installation

The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to industry submitted questions during the RFI period. No additional questions will be answered unless deemed in the best interest of the Government by the Contracting Officer.

QUESTION 1:

“Does the Gov't have a budget range established for the project?”

ANSWER: The budget range is not disclosed.

Question 2:

Can you provide a location of the existing gas service?

ANSWER: The gas meter is approximately 25 feet from the proposed location of the generator. It is located outside the southeast wall of the boiler room over a concrete pad. *See Photos

Question 3:

“Is it possible to include information regarding the meter? (size, etc.)”

ANSWER: Northwestern Energy sent an engineer to inspect the meter and gas line. The engineer proposed replacing the meter with a current model that would accommodate the current demand from the building’s boilers plus the generator. The Forest Service will be responsible for the meter sizing with Northwestern Energy. Meter replacement may occur concurrently with the performance of work under this contract.

Question 4:

“We are to send all quote directly to you, correct? We are registered on the SAM database, but we do not need to upload our quotes there?”

ANSWER: All quotes are to be submitted via email to matthew.cox2@usda.gov.

Question 5:

“What is the Ampicity of the ATS?”

ANSWER: Performance Work Statement, Section B. 1., bullet 2.

Question 6:

“The Generac model in the quote is not a prime power unit. Should be quote a prime power unit or a standby power unit that is equal or better than the Generac?”

ANSWER: The generator shall be capable of operating reliably for up to 72 hours to cover power failure on the evening of a 3-day weekend. If that specification calls for a prime power unit, then that is the case.
