RFI Responses

• Are asbuilt drawings for the facility available? I'm interested in the structural and electrical for the building and civils for the site. For the size you are looking at we may need to design rooftop AND carports.

o The Agency has the original structural & electrical asbuilt prints which will be provided after award.

• Is it possible to get a site map location indicating where are the electric meters that will distribute power to the buildings. Your electric bill will indicate the quantity and meter numbers.

There is a large open field it looks like adjacent to green houses and a parking lot. Is the open field available for ground mount solar panels? Ground mount is the most cost effective method of solar power generation. The roofs will not be able to fully accommodate the power requirements for 425,000 kWh. Its either carports/canopies or ground mount. Carports and canopies are the most expensive of solar power generation.

o I’ve attached a site map and marked where the two meters are located. I’ve crossed out Mod B and greenhouses as they have been removed. The most conducive area for panels in the Back field is where the greenhouses had been located. The contractor would need to verify how much of the rest of the field could be used as there is an electrical sub panel vent pipes and posts where an experiment is going on. (map attached separately)

• Will the government require any type of bonding for this contract (bid bond, payment bond, performance bond)?

o If the award is 35k or more the following applies:

The Contractor shall submit one of the following payment protections:

• Irrevocable Letter of Credit

• Payment and Performance Bonds

• Escrow account equal to contract total

• We would like to know if the solar plans need to have the engineering stamp because we would like to submit multiple designs.

o The Final Construction plans (end product of contract) have to be engineer stamped, but that is not required for the initial proposals. As part of the contract, PSW will be working with the contractor to finalize the design that will be engineer stamped

• Regarding Factor C - Past Performances, are consultants allowed to submit overseas projects as reference projects/clients?

o Past Performances – Overseas projects can be submitted, the client must be accessible and verifiable.
