The requests for information from prospective bidders collected through date of this Amendment have been answered in the attachment. Answers resulting in changes to contract specifications, drawings, and Scope of Work are reflected above.

Q69. If an electrical one line is unavailable and JCI has not provided any information on the electrical requirements of the equipment, how can a contractor provide a price for the electrical feeders to be installed?

A69. The JCI unit identified in the drawings is the basis of design unit only. Contractors are not required to install this particular unit. The bidding contractor, electrical contractor, mechanical contractor, etc. should coordinate the work and materials provided by each trade with result in a complete and functional end product. The VA has provided a one-line diagram of Building 43.

Q70. JCI still has not provided any information on the mechanical units of the project, can the VA provide this information to assist in the completion of this bid?

A70. Mechanical unit requirements will vary based on the selected unit. The JCI unit identified in the drawings is the basis of design unit only.

Q71. M-400 does not contain enough information for an electrical contractor to reference the latest version of the NEC to provide pricing for the electrical feeders. Can the required electrical information for the mechanical equipment be provided? Information needed; FLA, HP and Voltage in order to design/build the electrical feeders for the VA.

a. 43-SF1, please provide FLA and HP of complete unit.

b. 43-SF2, please provide FLA and HP of complete unit.

c. Does 43-SHC1 have any power requirements?
