About this file

This is a Questions and Answers Log for Solicitation #140A2326R0010, an Electrical Distribution System Investigation solicitation issued by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Bureau of Indian Education. The document captures contractor inquiries submitted on March 14 and March 20, 2026, with responses provided by March 26, 2026, addressing clarifications necessary for bidders to prepare their proposals.

The substantive questions and answers reveal the scope and context of the investigation. Two contractors, Mooweep and PacWest, sought clarification on critical project parameters including electrical utility contact information for coordinating power outages and device installation, identification of critical load centers (Buildings 76, 73, 77, and 66 containing UPS systems, data rooms, and life safety circuits), and history of HVAC failures potentially related to electrical power issues. Additional inquiries addressed energized work permit requirements from the City of Riverside, California codes, and jurisdictional authority, with the Department of Bureau of Indian Education confirmed as the Authority Having Jurisdiction. One contractor clarified that the solicitation represents a preliminary electrical assessment and investigation to gather information regarding potential Rough Order of Magnitudes (ROM) and costs for infrastructure improvement, rather than a final design or implementation contract. The questions and answers demonstrate that this investigation is campus-wide in scope at the Soboba Indian Health Service site and that subsequent solicitations may follow based on findings.
