RFI Questions and Answers

1. On the 40 Ton Chiller, Does It Have Its Own Dedicated Outdoor Disconnect?

Answer: Yes, both chillers have their own disconnect.

2. Where Do We Park the Crane for Removal and Installation of a New Chiller?

Answer: You can park the crane on the grass as long as turf protection mats are used to avoid extensive damage from a crane.

3. Does The Chiller Need a Hail Guard Condenser Protector?

Answer: Whatever standard comes from the manufacturer.

4. Do They Have an Automation Bldg. System and Protocol?

Answer: Yes, we use Niagra building automation

5. Freeze Protection Plan for Glycol Heat Trace Drain System Etc.?

Answer: Non glycol system, heat trace is needed

6. Does The Replacement Chiller Need a Buffer or Pump?

Answer: No, pumps are currently installed in the basement of the building.

7. Does The Customer Need Louvers on Chiller Side Panels or Sound Reduction?

Answer: The chiller should have louvered side panels.

8. The Scope of Work states the new chillers shall be “properly connected to our Building Automation System.” Can the government confirm that it is the intent of this project to connect the new chillers to the existing BAS in the exact same configuration as the existing chillers and, therefore, no modifications to BAS sequences, hardware, or control strategies are required?

Answer: The current chillers are connected to our existing Building Automation System (BAS), which is Niagra protocol, so the new chillers need to be connected to our current system.

9. A bid guarantee is indicated as required on the Standard Form. However, I was unable to locate specific details regarding the amount requirements for the bid guarantee. Could you please provide clarification on these requirements?

Answer: Bid guarantee is 20% of the value of the quote price.
