Response: Clarification Provide fireproofing (Arc Proofing) for individual cable conductor in manholes, handholes and vaults. Extend the tape 1 inch into the ducts.

Question 5:

One line drawing on ES100 indicates a new cable from CP to HV MH-

23. Is this correct. If so, are we to splice to existing cable in HV-MH- 23?

Response: Clarification As indicated by sheet note 6 on sheet ES100, scope shall include replacing utility and camp Loop 15 KV feeder cables with new, size as indicated on sheet ES100.

15BFA025B00000036/0002 Page 2 of 14

Question 6:

Please provide medium voltage single line diagram. It is not clear the number of circuits that are to be replaced. Note 6 on ES100 indicates to provide 1 set of single conduct 4/0 15 KV. Note 1 on E601 indicates the same replacement but it indicates a loop system. Please highlight one line drawing indicating the circuits to be replaced.

Response: Clarification As shown on both sheets ED601 and E-601, there is a total of only (4) existing medium voltage circuits to be replaced. (2) circuits operate as one loop to supply prison, and the other two circuits operate as another loop to supply the camp.

Question 7:

Please provide loads for each building so back-up generators for outages can be sized accordingly.

Response: Clarification As per sheet E-601, both Genset 1 and Genset 2 are 750 KW, 480/277V each. Therefore, backup generator provided must be 1,500 KW minimum.

Question 8:

Existing HV gear appears to have a 2’ spacer/vault that it is mounted

to. Does the new gear require this vault? Is there a reason for this existing vault?

Response: Clarification New gear shall be self-supporting, and floor mounted on a level concrete pad as indicated in specification 261323.

Question 9:

Key Note 4 on sheet ED101 indicates to demolish existing generator remote annunciator monitoring panel and associated control wire.

Does this include the control wiring from this panel to each building main breaker? Is this cable routed in the low voltage duct system?

Response: Clarification This note only applies to the annunciator in the central plant.

Question 10:

On sheet E-601 Key Note 5 appears above the ATS-1, ATS-2, and ATS- 3 feeders. Is this the correct keynote?

Response: Clarification Keynote 5 is intended to show connection to an alternate source of power via a portable generator connection cabinet.

15BFA025B00000036/0002 Page 3 of 14

Question 11:

Sheet Note 6 on ES100 indicates contractor is to replace utility and camp loop. Does this include the cable from the existing switch to existing transformers?

Response: Clarification Scope will include replacing the cable from the existing switch to existing transformers.

Question 12:

Sheet Note 2 indicates work is to be done in phases and requires an approved phasing plan approved by the contracting officer. When the HVSS is de-energized by the power company and contractor starts demolition of the existing gear isn’t the entire site going down? What phasing is required? It does not appear that the existing generators can be used for temp power to the facility. Will generator back-up be required at each building while HVSS is being changed out? Can the engineers share their thoughts on how the facility is to be powered?

HVSS change out could take some time.

Response: Clarification Temporary gear and all associated infrastructure shall be provided and set up prior to ANY switchover. Temporary generator to be provided by Contractor and sized according to the response to question #7. Refer to specification 015000 section 3.1 for additional details.

Question 13:

Are all abandoned HV cables to be removed from existing duct banks?

Response: Clarification Existing underground duct banks for 15 kV feeders will typically consist of (2) conduits, (1) spare conduit and (1) in use. All new cabling shall be pulled into the empty spare conduit, while existing cabling will be removed after switchover from temp gear to new permanent gear.

Question 14:

Requesting photos of the following:

a. MV SWGR to be replaced specifically nameplates, photos of room and SWGR itself

b. Generator Control Enclosure and nameplate info – ESCP-EST

c. Generator Control XFMR ET-CP

d. Generator nameplate info

Response: Clarification See door details shown in drawings on sheet A-101.

Question 17:

Multiple Key Notes mention installing new MV conductors in spare conduit in Manholes with existing energized conductors. Considering “Hot Work” and safety practices, is this a reasonable directive?

Response: Clarification Pulling conductors in an empty conduit next to live conduits is not considered "hot work" but rather work near energized components.

The work must be performed by qualified personnel, and precautions must still be taken to prevent contact with the nearby energized parts, as outlined by OSHA and NFPA 70E standards.

Question 18:

Clarify Sheet E-601 Key Note 5. Note appears to be in conflict/typo with another note referring to N4X Portable Docking Station and the connected ATS 1, 2, 3.

Question 25:

Can the period of performance be adjusted after award if material/equipment lead times exceed the contract duration, due to current market conditions for switchgear procurement?

Response: Clarification Market research conducted found 430 calendar days is accurate to account for lead time for ordering the switchgear and installation. An increase in the period of performance is not warranted at this time.

Question 26:

Are soil boring reports available for the underground loop replacement at the Camp segment? If not, shall it be assumed excavation is free of rock/obstructions?

Response: Clarification There are no soil reports available, and contractors should assume excavation is free of rock and obstructions. However, this statement does not substitute the need for a contractor locating existing utilities before excavation.

Question 27:

Response: Clarification Remote access must be provided to FBOP staff.

Question 39:

The SOW notes FCI Estill is “currently vacated.” Please confirm whether the institution will remain fully vacated throughout construction, or if there is a possibility of partial re-population that could affect access, escorting, or security protocols.

Response: Clarification See response to Question 23.

Question 40:

The SOW states FBOP will provide water and 120V power only. Please confirm whether the Government-furnished 120V circuits are available at the switchgear building location, or if temporary power distribution must be extended from a remote area.

Question 46:

Our team has continued coordinating with electrical vendors and subcontractors as we finalize our proposal and one item appears to warrant formal clarification to ensure fair competition. Multiple vendors have advised that the specification requirements for integral ground switches, EPDM solid insulation, and hybrid GIS/AIS construction closely align with Schneider Electric’s PremSet system.

Please confirm whether the Government intends for this project to be furnished with Schneider Electric switchgear only, or whether

Response: Clarification Schneider Electric’s PremSet was used as a basis of design. Alternate manufacturers that meet the same performance, safety, and testing criteria will be acceptable as denoted on specification 261323 section 2.2.A.

15BFA025B00000036/0002 Page 11 of 14 alternate manufacturers (e.g., ABB, Eaton, Siemens, Powell, or equal) that meet the same performance, safety, and testing criteria will be acceptable for bidding purposes.
