Additional Questions and Answers for Solicitation 1232SDS18JC06 Electrical

Upgrade Project – Baton Rouge, LA

Answers in red:

1. Will the contractors have access to restrooms or should they provide portable toilets?

A. Contractors should provide portable toilets.

2. Specification 26 20 00, 2.11.1 requires panelboard cabinets to be NEMA 4X. NEMA 4X enclosures are typically found in harsh environments and would unduly add cost if not actually required. Please confirm desired NEMA ratings for the new 400 amp MDP and the (4) new flush mount wall panels.

A. The 400 amp and 4 flush mount panels are to be NEMA 1 rated, not NEMA 4X.

3. Should generators be employed to provide temporary power for the freezers, can the generators be located on the north side of Building 13 considering the proximity to the bee hives, or must the generator(s) be located remotely.

A. Generators can go on the north side of Bldg. 13. ARS will move bee colonies out of that area during this work.
