x The purpose of this amendment is to provide another question and response received for this project.

Jeannette Morphew Contracting Officer 621-22-137 Replace Bldg 162 Emergency Generator Question: This is from the General Requirements section (pg. 109 of the total Specs document). This states that the VA will install the new utility transformer. I know the period for RFI’s has passed for this solicitation, but I would like to ask you to consider clarifying this for the contractors bidding this project. If the VA is expecting to install/supply this new transformer that would drastically change the scope of work for the contractors bidding this project.

Also, the way this section reads it sounds as if the expectation is to have this new transformer operational prior to having the existing transformer taken offline. If this is the case, a new set of medium voltage conductors will need to be ran from the substation to this location. This process is not consistent with what is shown on the drawing set for this project and would also drastically change the scope of work required from the contractor for this project.

Answer: That is worded incorrectly and should state the contractor to install the new utility transformer. The new transformer does not have to be installed prior to removing the old transformer. The new transformer will reuse the existing wiring to the old transformer. As it states in that section of the phasing a temporary switchboard will be used to maintain electrical service while the transformer is being replaced.
