to at least be that, but 600 would be optimal.

Current voltage in this greenhouse is 277v.

2. Place of performance and applicable wage determination. Attachment 1 (Performance Work

Statement) identifies the work location as

Greenhouse "A" at the Cold Spring Harbor

Laboratory, Upland Farm Campus. However, the SF

1449 "Deliver To" block, the document headers, and the attached Service Contract Act wage determination all reference Ithaca / Tompkins

County, New York. Please confirm the actual place of performance. To the extent the work will be performed at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

(or at any location other than Tompkins County), we would like to request that the Contracting

Officer obtain and incorporate the wage determination applicable to that place of performance. Answer: The greenhouse project is located at 260 Lawrence Hill rd. Cold Spring

Harbor, NY 11724. This is in Suffolk County, NY.

Updated wage rates are included.

3. Applicable labor standards. The solicitation incorporates the Service Contract Labor Standards

(FAR 52.222-41) and an SCA wage determination.

Because the scope includes installation work

(e.g., conduit, receptacles, and electrical connections), please confirm that the Service

Contract Act, rather than construction

(Davis-Bacon) wage standards, governs this requirement for pricing purposes. Answer: The

Service Contract Act Applies.

4. "Or equal" products and system compatibility.

Attachment 1 specifies a Wadsworth Seed 24 control platform "or equivalent approved system," and AGAR 452.211-70 (Brand Name or Equal) is included. Please confirm that a Priva Compass system is an approved equivalent. Answer:

Alternate systems will not be preapproved.

Quoting vendor must verify proposed system meets all requirements. Should an alternate system be proposed, the quote must include literature detailing system functions and capabilities, and pricing must include training and customer service to ensure operators are able to fully operate all components.

5. Questions and responses. Please confirm the Continued ...
