| VAMC Feeder Relocation Pre-Bid RFI Log | ||||||
| RFI# | Discipline | Information Requested | Date Created | Date Responded | Engineer Response to Owner | |
| 1 | Civil | Is it acceptable to extend route further North when coming out of the ATSs to avoid going through impound yard? | 3/3/2022 | 3/13/2022 | We do not believe this is acceptable. The intention is to stay out of the fencing in this area however going further north would likely impead on the wetlands area and this must be avoided. | |
| 2 | Electrical | On Sheet EJ101 (Duct bank detail), it states to provide 6” Schedule-80 PVC conduit. However, the conduit will be encased in concrete. | ||||
| Can we use Schedule-40 PVC instead, which will save costs? | 3/3/2022 | 3/13/2022 | Schedule 40 PVC where encased in concrete is acceptable. Any direct bury should still be schedule 80 PVC where indicated. | |||
| 3 | Electrical | On Sheet EJ101 (Manhole construction detail #2), it states to provide a sump pump in the manhole. |
Does each manhole receive its own sump pump, or is there one sump pump to be shared among them?
| Where does the water get discharged from the sump pump? | 3/3/2022 | 3/13/2022 | Each manhole will have a sump per the detail. The intent is to discharge the sump into the nearest storm structure or ditch. | |||
| 4 | Electrical | On Sheet EK101, Construction Note #1, it states that the contractor should install an owner-provided air switch. | ||||
| Can we get a submittal or catalog number for this air switch? | 3/3/2022 | 3/13/2022 | Switch is an Eaton Type MVS Medium Voltage Switchgear Assembly. Master P.L.: G18P3DK-P. GO & It: SLY0945605-001. | |||
| 5 | Electrical | On Sheet ES101, it shows long distances where the (2) duct banks run parallel to each other. | ||||
| Could we install (1) eight-way duct bank where convenient? This would save costs. | 3/3/2022 | 3/13/2022 | We do not believe this is acceptable. During design it was the direction of the owner to keep them separate for protection (i.e. in the event of an excavating event that damaged the ductbank). | |||
| 6 | Electrical | On Sheet ES103, it shows Substation East site plan (the fenced area). | ||||
| Can you confirm all fencing is provided by the utility company, and not by the contractor? | 3/3/2022 | 3/13/2022 | All components of the substation (including fencing) to be designed and provided by the power company. Contractor responsible for the air switch components and fencing as shown. | |||
