Electrical Motor Control Center Installation Project One – Stoneville, MS Questions and Answers

1. In reviewing the documents looking for the liquidated damages for this project (for bonding request purposes) but cannot find the data. Could you please tell me where to find it, or how much it is?

Answer: Liquidated Damages have not been recommended for this requirement and are not included.

2. Are we to abandon the existing UG conduits/conductors in place after they have been disconnected from the power source? Answer: Yes.

3. There was mention of installing a new (owner supplied) generator as a part of this project. The site representative reiterated their desire for that work to be a part of this contract. Please confirm and if so, please provide instructions on the exact requirements of the contractor. Also, I have not taken a really deep dive into the documents, so please forgive me if this is already covered in the documents.

Answer: The WARU Genset has been added as a separate line item, please see document titled Specifications WARU Genset for further details.

4. Will you be sending out an attendance sheet for today’s site visit?

Answer: Sign in sheet has been added as an attachment.

5. Are power cords from the aerators to the disconnect pedestals provided by others?

Answer: USDA will provide aerators, supply cords, and male cord plugs. Contractor will provide the receptacle as shown in the plans at the pedestal.

6. Will power cord plugs to match receptacles be provided by others?

Answer: See Q5.

7. How do the aerators function when placed in Automatic? There does not appear to be any control wiring shown on the drawings. Is this wiring by others? The only specific reference found in the specifications with regard to the installation is in Section 01 00 11:

SECTION 01 00 11

1.1.3 Principal Features of Work:

A. Remove existing Aerator controls, wiring and associated hardware.

B. Provide and install new motor control center to operate aerators and interface with new oxygen monitoring and control system being installed by others. Provide all wiring and interface for a complete and operable system.

Answer: USDA requires the control panel switches to have an Automatic setting available for possible future oxygen monitoring system that will be installed and wired by others at a later date.

8. Is a drawing available which locates the oxygen monitoring system panel(s)?

Answer: See Q7.

9. Is there an installation and operation manual for the oxygen monitoring system available which defines the power requirements?

Answer: See Q7.

10. Would the USDA consider extending the deadline for the quotes? This would allow contractors the time to produce their best offerings.

Answer: We will extend to August 18, at 2:00 p.m. Central.
