Replace Server Room AC - Canandaigua Project #528A5-18-543 The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to requests for information received by potential bidders. Also, the attendance list from the formal site visit is attached for reference. All Contractors providing a sealed bid must acknowledge amendments on the SF 1449. The scheduled bid opening has been changed and will take place on Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at 1:00 PM at the Engineering Office, Building 118, Room 30, 400 Fort Hill Ave, Canandaigua, NY 14424.

Q.1. How tall is the existing floor in the server room?

A.1.

13” from concrete floor to top of raised floor. (See pic)

Q.2. Do you have the serial number of the existing unit?

A.2. A: Liebert

Q.3. The only 2 doors into the room are 36” man doors. The requested BOD equipment is 47” wide. We need to blow out a door to make it bigger or can we provide an Alt to provide 2 smaller units that will be able to fit though the existing door?

A.3. The door entering the Server Room is a sheetrock wall with electrical, security devices, and supports on the wall. Contractor may elect to open the wall and coordinate all utilities necessary to accommodate the new unit. (See Pic) The VA is not requiring the contractor utilize the basis of design (BOD) unit. The contractor may elect to purchase and install 2 equally sized smaller units that meet the capacity of the SOW, however the contractor is required to verify the power requirements and availability of units and space in B36 electrical room. The government is not responsible for any rework necessary to accommodate 2 units.

Q.4. Drawing E101 Plan 1 Building 37 Server Room, Room 7C near the top says “Existing CRAC Unit”. Should this be “New CRAC Unit” A.4. No, this is the existing electrical plan.

Q.5. Drawing E101 Sheet Notes, Note 6. Please provide details of concrete encased conduit IF needed.

A.5. Electrical duct bank shall follow National Electric Code and shall be concrete encased.

Q.6. Can the tunnel between B37 and B36 be used for necessary conduit runs in Lieu of the concrete encased conduit?

A.6. The tunnels may be used as long as the path does not interfere with existing utilities, including lighting, communication, and fire protection.

Q.7. Drawing E101 Sheet notes Note 7. Does this mean the facility cannot make it fit and therefore the contractor has to make it fit? Please clarify.

A.7. The government cannot specify exact models of equipment; therefore dimensions cannot be verified. If new equipment is required, contractor is to verify if it fits.

Q.8. SOW paragraph 2.6-C says there is an existing 100AMP disconnect to be re-used. Drawing E101 plan 1 Building 37 Server Room, Room 7C calls out a 60 AMP disconnect. Please Clarify.

A.8. These are the existing services connected to the existing CRAC unit. Contractor is to provide a unit that is fully operational with these features.

Q.9. SOW paragraph 2.6 E says the new CRAC unit is to be 480V. Plan 1 Building 37 Server Room, Room 7C calls out a 600V unit. Please Clarify A.9. E-101 calls out a 600V disconnect for the CRAC unit. It does not state that the CRAC unit is a 600V unit. Disconnects are normally sized larger than the unit drawing from it.

Q.10. Please provide pictures of the server room/Existing AC unit, door opening, corridor wall on inside of server room.
