AMENDMENT REASON: INCLUDE RFI CLARIFICATIONS

A. THIS AMENDMENT IS TO INCLUDE RFI CLARIFICATIONS

B. THE PROPOSAL DUE DATE AND TIME REMAIN UNCHAGED.

Question 1-A. What is the minimum fire rating of the ICRA enclosure - it is not (specifically) specified in the drawings/specs?

Detail 1/E003, states: Minimum fire rating shall match rating of closet or enclosed walls.

General notes on E001 states corridor walls and plumbing partitions shall be considered 1 hour fire rated; floor slabs, vertical shafts and stairwells shall be considered 2 hour fire rated.

Question4-C. Arc Flash study will not be able to be complete at time of panel board submission due to lack of conductor information – please clarify the government’s response on this question.

The Arc Flash Study and Circuit breaker coordination study needs to be submitted with or prior to submitting panelboards. This includes obtaining conductor information that is needed to complete the study.

Question 8-A. Is it safe to assume then, that all existing conditions that will need to be remedied will constitute a change order (or not be the responsibility of the contractor)?

As previously stated, existing code violations should be brought to the VA intention for direction when discovered.

Question 8-B. It is not possible, at this time, to know how many conductors will need to be replaced for the branch circuits, should we give an allowance or would all of them be considered change orders? If we are to give an allowance, please provide an assumption for all bidders to utilize.

Branch circuit extensions needed to allow for completion of work are required per the contract documents.

Question 8-D. More clarification, it is understood that the new panels will need printed panel schedules. Our question was in reference to the existing panels and if they have their panel schedules – AND that they include accurate information… OR will the contractor need to trace out all branch circuits?

Typically, the panelboards have panelboard schedules or the schedules are on file. Contractor does not need to trace out all of the branch circuits. Refer to contract documents.
