Lucky Peak Nursery New Greenhouse - 1240LT26Q0137 Questions and Answers 003

Note: Questions were copied as they were received with some spelling errors corrected. Some questions mention “bid” “pre-bid” etc. That terminology was left in the questions, but this solicitation is a Request for Quotations under the Revolutionary FAR Part 12.

1. Greenhouse #2 Scope and Area

Section 000503 contains language describing repair of an existing wood-framed facility, while the drawings require construction of a new greenhouse. The contract identifies the new greenhouse as 38,701 SF, while Cravo’s four 42-foot by 228-foot houses total 38,304 SF.

Please confirm that Section 000503 is intended to govern construction of the new Greenhouse #2 and identify the controlling dimensions and contract area.

2. Cravo Structural Design Criteria

Sheet G1.03b identifies the 2024 IBC and a 102-mph wind speed. Cravo’s proposal is based on the 2018 IBC and a 90-mph wind speed.

Please confirm the required building code, wind speed, exposure, snow load, crop/equipment load, and other structural design criteria. Confirm that Cravo must revise its engineered design to comply with the contract requirements.

- Greenhouse must meet or exceed designs loads outlined in specifications

3. Greenhouse #2 Foundation Design

Cravo excludes foundation design, reinforcing, and stamped foundation drawings. The available Cravo installation drawing is marked “Not for Construction” and applies to Greenhouse #1.

Please provide the Greenhouse #2 foundation design or confirm the party responsible for its delegated design. Confirm the required pier diameter, depth, reinforcement, concrete strength, frost protection, stub embedment, and connection details.

- Already answered in amendment 0001 (A76)

4. Slab Reinforcement and Thickened Areas

Sheet A1.02b requires a typical 5-inch fiber-reinforced slab and a 6-inch reinforced slab with #4 bars at 24 inches on center each way within the first 25 feet of each greenhouse house.

Please confirm the limits of the 6-inch reinforced areas, reinforcing details, transitions to the typical slab, joint requirements, and whether additional reinforcing is required around greenhouse piers, trench drains, equipment, and door openings.

- 6” thickened slab across the full width of the first 25’ at the main entrance bays, where forklift traffic occurs. Use #4 bars @16” O.C. both ways per detail A7.01b, to support the 3.5 ton forklift load noted on Sheet A1.01a.

5. Personnel-Door Quantity

Sheet A1.02b shows three Type 105 personnel doors, matching the three insulated doors and frames included in Cravo’s proposal. Cravo drawing 2023-112-A04 appears to show five personnel-door locations.

Please confirm the final number and locations of personnel doors and associated exterior concrete pads.

- Already answered in amendment 0001 (A76)

6. Exterior Sliding-Door Dimensions

Sheet A2.02b identifies the exterior sliding doors as 12 feet wide by 11 feet high. Cravo’s proposal identifies 10-foot-high exterior sliding doors.

Please confirm the required clear opening dimensions and whether Cravo must revise its door assemblies.

- Already answered in amendment 0001 (A76)

7. Greenhouse #2 Heating Systems

Sheet M1.01b indicates that heating will include both gas-fired blower/heater systems and infrared radiant-tube heaters. The later heater markup identifies 48 LP-fired radiant-tube heaters but does not show the blower/heater systems or fabric distribution ducts.

Please confirm whether both heating systems are required. If the blower/heater system remains required, provide the required equipment count, capacity, fabric-duct quantity, routing, and installation elevation.

- Both systems are required as shown in the drawings and specifications.

8. Heating Design and Propane Requirements

Cravo’s proposal describes Greenhouse #2 as unheated, while the contract drawings require a complete heating system.

Please confirm the required indoor design temperature, outdoor design condition, heating-load criteria, equipment redundancy, total propane demand, available service pressure, regulator arrangement, connection point, and whether all heating equipment must be capable of simultaneous operation.

- Already answered in amendment 0001 (A58)

9. Greenhouse Gutter and Storm Drainage

Cravo excludes downspouts and piping required to convey water from the greenhouse gutters.

The drawings also require trench drains to connect to an existing storm-sewer line leading to a drainage pond, but the complete route and final connection point are not clearly identified.

Please provide the required downspout quantity, locations, sizes, routing, and connection details.

Also identify the trench-drain discharge route, pipe sizes, invert elevations, connection point, and referenced drainage pond or manhole.

- Already answered in amendment 0001 (A61, A62, A63)

10. Irrigation Service Requirements

Sheet A1.02b identifies a 3-inch irrigation service, while related details appear to indicate a smaller connection.

Please confirm the irrigation-service size, available flow and pressure, backflow requirements, final connection point, and required simultaneous demand for the four irrigation-boom systems.

- The 3-inch irrigation service has been stubbed to the facility, follow plans for any reductions in line sizes that may be required.

11. Cravo Motor and Control Schedule

The Cravo package includes greenhouse motors but excludes wiring, conduit, contactor panels, and environmental controls. Final motor quantities and electrical characteristics are not provided.

Please provide a coordinated motor schedule identifying every roof, shade, exterior roll-up, interior partition, sliding-curtain, and blackout motor. Include voltage, phase, amperage, horsepower, control grouping, limit switches, contactor requirements, and required interface with the Argus system.

- Already answered in amendment 0001 (A18)

12. Radiant-Heater Electrical Circuits

The heater markup identifies 48 radiant-tube heaters, while Panel H shows four minimum infrared-heating section circuits.

Please confirm whether the 48 heaters are powered individually, grouped by greenhouse section, or served through local control panels. Provide the final circuit count, connected load, conductor size, overcurrent protection, disconnect requirements, and control arrangement.

- Already answered in amendment 0001 (A18)

13. Grow-Lighting Scope

Sheets EG01, EG10, and EG20 require grow-light circuits, disconnects, and control coordination, but a complete grow-light fixture schedule and layout are not provided.

Please confirm whether grow-light fixtures are contractor-furnished. If required, provide the fixture manufacturer and model, quantity, layout, voltage, connected load, mounting requirements, control zoning, and interface with the greenhouse environmental-control system.

- Already answered in amendment 0001 (A18)

14. Electrical Service and Feeder Allocation

The electrical documents indicate shared infrastructure serving the Headhouse, Existing Greenhouse #1, and New Greenhouse #2, including the new service and greenhouse feeders.

Please confirm the complete limits of the 400A service work, feeder sizes and routing, Panel G and Panel H connections, and which equipment serves each building. Provide a coordinated one-line diagram showing all required service, feeder, disconnect, grounding, and metering work.

- Already answered in amendment 0001 (A18)

15. Communications Backbone

Sheet EG20 references an optical-fiber pair, while other project requirements indicate a larger multimode fiber backbone between the Existing Greenhouse, Headhouse, and New Greenhouse.

Please confirm the fiber type, strand count, conduit size, routing, termination locations, LIU requirements, data-cabinet requirements, Category 6 cabling, and responsibility for network switches, routers, and other active equipment.

- Already answered in amendment 0001 (A18)

19. I cannot find any specs on the Radiant Heat system for the two greenhouses. General note #1 on M1.01b says for the contractor to provide a design for heating and ventilation according to the specifications. There are no specifications for the radiant heat or the floor heat in the spec book. I do not know what these buildings would require for heating. And without specs or a supplier for the radiant heat and floor heat I am at a lost as to what and how much material to bid.

- Per General Note #1 on Sheet M1.01b, the Contractor shall provide a design for heating and ventilation of the existing greenhouse and new greenhouse. The systems shall be approved by the Contracting Officer per the specifications. The general notes and keyed notes on Sheet M1.101b, project specifications, and plans provide a basis for the Contractor’s design. The final quantity takeoffs and materials for the heating and ventilation system in the greenhouses is dependent upon the Contractor provided design.

20. On the PDF’s there is a discrepancy on the air system. On P102 the plumbing print shows 6 air drops terminating approximately at 44” above grade and 1 hose reel. On the architectural print A3.02a the architectural sheet shows 7 hose reels terminating at +/- 10’. Which of the two plans is correct.

- Sheet P102 is correct, the air should be at 44 inches above the ground.
