1. Amendment A00006 is hereby incorporated into RFQ number 36C244-18-Q-0066 and shall become part of any resultant Purchase Order. This amendment contains the following information:

a. Contractor Questions and Government Answers.

2. The Government is providing the following Contractor Question and Government Answer received to this solicitation:

Question 1: In Amendment 3 to the above-referenced solicitation, the Government’s reply to Question 5 was: “Answer 5: The system is an emergency system and has no load on it. It would be hard to transfer normal loads to the emergency system for an extended period of time. Vendors should bring in a load bank for the system. Vendors should bring in a load bank for the system. Vendors would need to provide a 1000 or 1500 KW load bank.” Can you clarify where you (and for how long) you would want to attach a load bank? Without a single line drawing of the system to refer to, it is difficult to determine how the system is distributed and where a load bank would best be suited for a simulated load. Seemingly this would require a load on each feeder breaker (dozens), which would be at a great expense. May be an unnecessary expense considering that all connections will be tightened and tested during maintenance.

Answer 1: Our loads transfer for 9 minutes. By the time we switched the last AS, some of the others will have transferred back to normal. If a 15 KV, 1000 or 1500 KVA load bank is gotten, that would pick up all breakers at the same time. Our medium voltage is 13, 200 volts. The load bank can be attached to the line side of one of the 13.2 switches. Our sub stations are fed by 2 feeders with main – tie - main (3) breakers. They would only have to hook it up once then we could open one switch and close the other to energize the other side of the tie breaker.

3. The due date for this RFQ is NOT extended and remains as follows:

The last day to ask any questions is Wednesday, January, 24, 2018, at 4:00 PM ET.

All quotes must be received by WEDNESDAY, January 31, 2018 at 4:00 PM ET to be considered for award.
