Questions and Answers Solicitation #1240LP26Q0151 - BHNF Remove and replace electric water heater:

Q 1: Clarification about the Statement of Work B5- “Install dowel rods to connect concrete base to concrete floor. Unless otherwise indicated, install dowel rods on 18-inch (450-mm) centers around the full perimeter of concrete base.

For supported equipment, install epoxy-coated anchor bolts that extend through concrete base and anchor into structural concrete floor.”

A1: There is no concrete base for this installation, so those references are to be considered deleted. The water heater is to be installed on the existing concrete floor. No concrete work will be required with this installation. The water heater will be supported by the existing concrete floor.

Q2: Is there a site visit scheduled?

A2: No formal site visit is scheduled.

Q3: The SOW identifies the A.O. Smith Gold Xi Series DVE-80A 100 as the basis of design.

Will the Government accept an equivalent commercial water heater from another manufacturer if it meets or exceeds all stated specifications?

A3: Yes, the government will accept an equivalent commercial water heater from another manufacturer if it meets or exceeds all stated specifications listed in the SOW.

Q4: Are any permits or inspections required for this project? If so, should those costs be included in the firm-fixed price, and may the contractor’s licensed subcontractor obtain the required permits?

A4: No additional permits are required. The contractor must be a South Dakota state licensed plumber.

Q5: The solicitation references a “2-month base period,” while the SOW appears to describe a one-time removal and replacement project. Can you please confirm that this is a single, one-time water heater replacement with no recurring services or additional base-period requirements?

A5: This is a single, one-time water heater replacement with no recurring services or additional base-period requirements.

Q6: Are there any restrictions regarding delivery access, working hours, building access, or scheduling of water/electrical shutdowns that should be considered when preparing the quote?

A6: There are no known delivery access issues. Working hours are standard for the federal government. Building access and scheduling of water/electrical shutdowns will be coordinated with the contracting officer representative’s schedule.

Q7: Please confirm the exact room/floor where the existing water heater is located and whether stairs are required anywhere along the removal and installation access route?

A7: The water heater is in the ground floor mechanical room. The removal/installation route does not include stairs at any point.
