Tiffany Garfield Design Build Replace Chillers at Viera 36C24818R0238 Request For Information Set #2 April 11, 2018

1. Original Solicitation page 19 of 99, item 21, states “Replacement of existing BAS system to BACnet is an option to ease in multi-system integration”. Does this statement mean that the existing Trane BAS control system does not have to continue to be used and that control systems of other manufacturers are allowed to be installed for overall BAS control of the facility if the change will allow a more competitive price?

VA: Yes, BACnet system.

2. Original Solicitation page 19 of 99, item 10, states “Demolish the existing CMU block screen wall and build a mechanical building with approximately 4400 SF floor area with all required utilities for the three new water-cooled chillers and associated equipment”. Instead of a new building, will new outdoor modular package unit water cooled chillers that do not require a new building be acceptable? In other words, can we place new package water cooled chillers outside without a new building? The proposed outdoor units do have their own immediate packaged enclosure. The cooling towers would be outside of a building regardless.

VA: Modular not acceptable.

3. There is only about 4400 SF of space available in the existing chiller yard area. With cooling towers being outside the new building footprint (since they are outdoor units) and only 4400 SF of space available, the outdoor cooling towers would reduce the 4400 SF available area by about 1000-1200 SF to 3200 SF. Is the 4400 SF requirement allocated for chillers and the cooling towers combined making the resulting building somewhat smaller (since cooling towers are outside the building footprint)? If a building is required, is 4400 SF necessary if we can satisfy all requirements in a smaller building?

VA: The proposed layout is 4400 SF building and cooling towers will be located at back (existing parking lot). This is just a proposed layout, this is a design build project.

4. Can the VA provide historical electrical demand load data on the existing facility emergency power system?

VA: This may be provided after Phase 1.

5. Can the VA provide historical electrical demand load data on the existing normal power utility services to the facility?

6. To meet N+1 redundancy, will the contractor be required to provide a minimum of (2) new emergency generators

VA: May be. Again this is a design build project.

7. Apart from utility transformers, are there any components within the existing chiller yard or associated electrical systems that are owned by FP&L?

8. Does the VA own the two 480V oil-filled utility transformers feeding the facility and the chiller plant? Are these transformers and their associated primaries owned by the utility company?

9. Upon loss of normal power at the facility, do existing non-emergency chilled water valves fail in the closed or open position

10. What are the redundancy requirements for any temporary systems used during this project?

VA: Please refer to references provided in the solicitation.

11. What are the chiller redundancy requirements upon loss of normal power?

12. Will the new chiller enclosure building require fire sprinklers and fire alarm?

13. Standard master VA specifications limit automatic transfer switch (ATS) size to 800A maximum. Will the VA permit a larger ATS for this project (as a variance to the master VA specifications)?

VA: Design shall be in compliant of VA Master specifications.

14. Will Phase 1 proposals be kept confidential for the entire duration of the proposal and bid process? In other words, will any non-VA personnel be able to view Phase 1 proposals prior to award of contract?

VA: all proposals are kept within the source selection team for the duration. This is government personnel only.
