Questions and Answers
Solicitation 12405B24Q0001
Air Handler Unit Repair
October 31, 2023
1. Will the contractor be responsible for the HVAC controls?
A. The chillers are controlled by a Siemens system that is separate from this contract. We had the system upgraded a few months ago and it is ready to go.
2. Will the USDA coordinate the HVAC controls separately from this contract?
A. Once the contract is awarded, the plan is to have Siemens and the awardee here at the same time to both work through the system.
3. Has the HVAC controls portion of the project been reviewed by the current control’s contractor to verify functionality?
A. Yes
4. Do the controls currently function?
A. They do, and they are “on” for the purposes of the chiller testing. However, potential awardees will not be able to modify controls as that is done only by Siemens or a representative (we don’t have the software to do it).
5. What are the model number and serial numbers for the chillers and air handlers?
A. Chiller: serial, STNU151200061, model AGZ030EPMME-E00; Air handlers: serial, FBOU161101134 and FBOU161101135, model OAHOO3GDGC.
