A1. The period of performance for the all work whether or not alternates have been awarded shall be 180 calendar days.

Q2. The specifications state that there are liquidated damages incurred for not completing the project prior to the established deadline, but there is no monetary value placed on the liquidated damages that we can find. Could you please advise as to what these costs are, if there are any?

A2. No liquated damages shall be accessed for this project.

Q3. As discussed at the site visit, there was to be an asbestos report provided to establish the information needed to accurately price out abatement work that was not provided with the original contract documents. Could you please provide this asbestos survey?

A3. The government will provide the asbestos survey. See attached document

Q.4 Is there a required proprietary controls contractor for the location? Other USDA sites we have worked at have required a specific Digital

Controls contractor to perform work on the system so that the system is operated and maintained by a single system as most control systems are proprietary or specific to the location.

A4. The existing controls are pneumatic and electronic. There is not a proprietary control system at this site.

Q5. Specification section 23 64 26 on Steam

Piping seems to be a bit vague. It does not specify the schedule of steel pipe to be used for the steam piping work, this section seems to deal more with water piping than steam piping. Typical steam piping is schedule 40 and steam condensate return is schedule 80, but none of this information is listed in the specifications.

There is also no specification on the steam traps. Could you provide more information on the steam piping requirements, or make sure the steam piping specification is the correct specification to reference steam piping as applicable to this
