Amendment II

127EAX24Q0044 - Install 2 New Backup Electrical Generators – RFI Responses

1. The statement of work mentions the replacement of the existing transfer switches. Will you please provide the capacity (in amps) as well as the NEMA rating for each of the transfer switch enclosures? Amperage is shown in transfer switch photo in SOW, 200A for both units. NEMA rating is 3R for both units.

2. What are the permitted working hours for this project? And will there be blackout periods when work will not be permitted?

Working hours are during normal operation hours listed in SOW. Should the contractor need to work outside of these hours it must be approved by the COR and coordinated prior.

Location of this project is within the city of Alamogordo with the electric utility provider being Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) with major power outages being uncommon. In the event of an extended outage the backup power system for the building would need to function as intended for operations of the radio communication equipment.

3. Are there special personnel access permissions or clearances required to work on these sites? No special access permissions or clearances are required to work at this location.

4. Upon review of the description of work attached to the RFQ, our manufacturer's research into the generators to be replaced at Alamogordo, NM indicate that the 50kW unit to be replaced was originally built for natural gas. This despite paragraph 2 of the Description of Work saying they were both LP powered. Was this unit converted in the field or was this an oversight? Please clarify. This was an oversight. The 50kW unit for the Air Tanker Base currently runs off natural gas and the replacement unit will need to run off of natural gas as well. The 75kW unit for Dispatch currently runs off of liquid propane and the replacement unit will need to run off of liquid propane.

5. Does the USDA intend for existing LP tanks to remain and be reused? The existing LP fuel tank will remain in its original location and be reused to supply the 75kW generator unit

6. specs for new generators that need to be installed? The new generators shall meet the existing units specifications at a minimum, shown in the Statement of Work.

7. what are the requirements for the payment bond. Payment bonds are required for this contract in accordance with FAR 52.228-15 Performance and Payment Bonds- Construction. Payment bond for 100% of bidded price, due 10 days after award.

8. clarification on the price sheet, there is not a separate CLIN for the removal of the two older generators, will this be revised? No, the line items are all inclusive. No government furnished equipment will be provided and the contractor is responsible for providing all the labor, materials, tools, equipment, services, testing, supervision, and incidentals necessary to perform the work described in the Statement of Work.

Your pricing should include all Taxes, Including Federal and New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax where applicable.

9. Have the two new generators that need to be installed, have they already been delivered to the site, or did I need to include the price for the two new ones with my bid? See response above.
