Solicitation Questions Project Title: HVAC Unit Replacements

RFQ/RFP Number: 1305M327Q0010

Q# Date Recv'd Question Response Date

Provided to Ctrs

1 10/24/26 The cover and SAM notice say total small-business set-aside, but the RFQ also includes 52.219-27 for SDVOSB concerns. Is this open to all qualifying small businesses, or restricted to eligible SDVOSBs?

This is open to all small businesses. The inclusion of clause FAR 52.219-27 is an error and will be removed in Amendment 0001. 10/28/26

2 10/24/26

SOW section 6 requires on-site completion within 90 calendar days after notice to proceed. The project-schedule evaluation says 90 days after receipt of equipment and materials. Which event starts the 90 days? We understand the overall limit is 240 days after award.

The 90 calendar days will start when the NTP is issued, after the contractor has confirmed all equipment and materials. 10/28/26

3 10/25/26

The cover and 52.228-13 allow a payment bond or irrevocable letter of credit for 100% of the price within 10 days after award. The RFQ also includes 52.228-15. Is that payment protection sufficient, or is a separate performance bond also required?

The inclusion of FAR 52.228-15 is an error and will be removed in Amendment 0001. FAR 52.228-13 applies as written in the solicitation. 10/28/26

4 10/25/26 The cover page and FAR 52.219-6 state a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS 238220. Section 6 references NAICS 236220, and Section 4 lists 52.219-27 (SDVOSB). Please confirm the set-aside type and NAICS.

See Question 1 10/28/26

5 10/25/26 Please confirm whether only a payment bond or irrevocable letter of credit under 52.228-13 is required, or whether a performance bond is also required (SF 1442, Item 12a; 52.228-15).

Bids Bonds and Performance Bonds are not required. See Question 3. 10/28/26

6 10/25/26

Section 6, Factor 1 measures completion from receipt of equipment, while the SOW and CLINs measure it from the Notice to Proceed. Will the NTP be issued after equipment delivery? May on-site work at Flagstaff and Battle Mountain be scheduled around winter access within the 240 days?

The 90 calendar days will start when the NTP is issued, after the contractor has confirmed all equipment and materials. Yes, Installation may be scheduled around winter access.

10/28/26

7 10/25/26 May the units be replaced one at a time, with the second unit cooling the shelter, or is temporary cooling required during the changeover? One unit at a time is acceptable, as the units are redundant. 10/28/26

8 10/25/26 Could you share the existing units’ model and serial numbers, any required electric heat (kW), and the NEXRAD alarm interface points, including whether -48 VDC is available for controller backup?

Model # for Battle Mountain and Phoenix is W72AC-BOZZPxxxJ WMCBC-O8B. Flagstaff is older equivelant with R22 refrigerant, I do not have serial numbers. Heating is not required. There are no controllers currently, therefore controller backup would need to be field supplied.

10/28/26

9 10/25/26 Current-production units use EPA-required low-GWP (A2L) refrigerant.

Will these be acceptable as “equal” if they meet all salient characteristics and fit the existing openings without modification?

Yes 10/28/26

Q# Date Recv'd Question Response Date

Provided to Ctrs

10 10/25/26 Will the Government accept quotes for individual CLINs (one or two sites), or must quoters price all three CLINs (0001, 0002, and 0003)? No; quotes for individual CLINs will be considered incomplete. 10/28/26

11 10/25/26

The CLINs and SOW Section 6 say on-site work must be completed within 90 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed. Section 6, Factor 1, says completion within 90 calendar days of receipt of equipment and materials. SF 1442 Block 11 says 240 days after Notice to Proceed, while the CLINs say 240 days after award. Which governs, and about when will the Notice to Proceed be issued after award?

The 90 calendar days will start when the NTP is issued, after the contractor has confirmed all equipment and materials. Once the contractor receives the equipment/materials and confirms readiness, the Notice to Proceed (NTP) will be issued. On-site work must then be completed within 90 calendar days following the NTP. The entire process—including ordering equipment and materials, receipt, and all on-site work—may not exceed the 240-day cap from the date of contract award.

10/28/26

12 10/25/26

Section (x) and clause 52.228-13 require a payment bond or an irrevocable letter of credit. SF 1442 Block 12a and clause 52.228-15 call for performance and payment bonds. Which payment protection is required?

Bids Bonds and Performance Bonds are not required. See Question 3. 10/28/26

13 10/25/26

What type of connection does the existing NEXRAD alarm system accept (for example, dry contacts, normally open or normally closed), and where is the termination point? Can existing alarm wiring between the shelter and the alarm panel be reused?

Existing alarm wiring for alarms may be used . They are just 2 thermostat wires that terminate on thermostat block of Unit. 10/28/26

14 10/25/26 Do the replacement units need electric heat strips? If so, what kW rating? The controller specifications list heating stages, but the unit salient characteristics do not mention heat.

Heating stages are only charactheristics of the specified controller, heating is not required. 10/28/26

15 10/25/26 Can the Government provide the model numbers or nameplate data for the existing Bard units and controllers at each site?

Model # for Battle Mountain and Phoenix is W72AC-BOZZPxxxJ WMCBC-O8B Flagstaff is older equivelant with R22 refrigerant there is no controller currently at any of these locations

10/28/26

16 10/25/26 Is there an existing fire/smoke device at each shelter that must be connected to the new controller's fire/smoke shutdown circuit? As stated in SOW device is field supplied. 10/28/26

17 10/25/26 Are optional remote temperature sensors required, or is the controller's standard local sensor acceptable? No they are not required. 10/28/26

18 10/25/26 May the existing disconnects and power wiring be reused if they are in good condition, or must new disconnects be provided?

Wiring should be replaced to the junction box located on oppisite side of wall, roughly 6 feet of wire and the only disconnect point is electrical panel and the disconnect that is built into the bard.

See SOW "v2".

10/28/26

20 10/25/26 SF 1442 Block 13d shows 0 days, but Section 6 requires 90 days. Please confirm quotes must be valid for 90 days. Yes; quotes must be valid for 90 days. 10/28/26

21 10/25/26

Does the Government require the prime contractor to hold Arizona and/or Nevada contractor licenses for this work, or may properly licensed subcontractors perform the licensed trade work under the prime?

Sub contractor being licensed is acceptable 10/28/26

22 10/25/26 FAR 52.219-14 is not listed among the solicitation clauses. Does a limitation on subcontracting apply to this small business set-aside? If so, what percentage applies and how will compliance be measured?

FAR 52.219-14 does not apply to this acquisition because the value is less than the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. 10/28/26

24 10/25/26

Are the new units or controllers required to be tied into a facility fire alarm or fire life safety system at any site? If so, please identify the existing equipment at each site and who is responsible for supplying and testing the interface. If not, may the factory fire/smoke jumper remain in place?

The site does not currently have a fire alarm /fire safety system. The SOW states that the contractor must supply or be included by manufacture a fire detection device that shuts the units down when fire/smoke is detected. Its functioality is to be tested by the installer.

10/28/26

25 10/25/26

Does the Government require local or state building, electrical, or mechanical permits for this work at each site? If so, are they the contractor’s responsibility and cost? If the Government performs its own inspections in lieu of permits, please describe that process.

Permits are not required and the TPOC will sign off on project once completed 10/28/26

26 10/25/26

For vendors unable to attend the 11/2/2026 site visits, will the Government provide photographs or drawings of existing site conditions, including the existing units, wall openings, electrical disconnects, and any fire/smoke devices?
