657-25-104 - CONDUCT 3-YEAR ELECTRICAL TEST, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

REPORT

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM SITE VISIT AT JOHN COCHRAN AND JEFFERSON

BARRACKS DIVISIONS, ST LOUIS HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

(JANUARY 13, 2025)

1. We would like to gain clarification on the NETA required certification. I know that is listed as a requirement, but unfortunately we at this time do not uphold that certification. Typically, in order to obtain the NETA certification, 80% of the overall businesses revenue has to come from testing. We can qualify our testing as “3rd party tested and approved” but not NETA certified. We do have NICET certifications.

a. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recognizes NICET certifications as equivalent to National Electrical Testing Association (NETA) personnel certifications. The

Contractor shall demonstrate that its company certifications and qualifications are equivalent to those of a NETA Accredited Contractor, as defined by NETA's standards and guidelines. The Contractor shall provide documentation and evidence of its equivalent certifications and qualifications.

2. I know the first page states that, “This testing will be in accordance with International

Electrical Testing Association, Inc. (NETA) –Maintenance and Testing Specifications, 2019 ed”, but I read that as the process. On page 6 it states,” Contractors shall be certified by the

International Electrical Testing, Association (NETA) or equivalent certifying organization as

Certified Technicians with each having completed the Occupational Safety & Health

Administration (OSHA) approved 10-hour construction safety training. NETA certification level shall be at the appropriate level for accomplishing the varied maintenance, inspection and testing requirements identified in this SOW.

a. The VA recognizes NICET certifications as NETA equivalent for personnel certifications.

3. I want to be sure that everyone is being required to bid this work utilizing a level 2 or greater trained thermographer.

a. A Level 2 or greater thermographer would be desirable, it is not a VA requirement.

4. There is a table listing quantities of components but nowhere in the Statement of work does it specify what level or type of testing they want.

a. Refer to VHA Directive 1028, 8.j Testing and Maintenance (6)(a)-(h)

5. Breakers- if we are doing Primary and or Secondary testing for the breakers? Please

Confirm that we are testing all breakers over 225 amps or is this just what’s on this table?

a. All testing of electrical components shall be “TESTED IN PLACE”, and testing is required for all breakers 225 amps and over, however all molded case circuit breakers

(including frame sizes 225 amps or less) must be tested to determine if contacts open and reclose when breaker is manually tripped and restored as per VHA Directive 1028.

6. Generators- are we only testing the breakers or do we have to do a load bank test?

a. Load Bank testing of the generators is performed by a separate contract and not included in this contract.

7. ATS’s- what level of ATS testing are they wanting? It appears that CK power is testing the

ATS already.

a. CK Power is not currently testing the ATS’s. ATS Maintenance and Testing is to be part of the Scope of this project. Refer to NFPA 110 Chapter 8 Routine Maintenance and

Operational Testing for a Level 1 system.

8. Transformers- are we just cleaning and torquing or perform full transformer test?

a. Refer to VHA Directive 1028, 8.j Testing and Maintenance (5) Transformers.

9. Fused Switches- what level of test are they wanting?

a. This testing will be in accordance with International Electrical Testing Association, Inc.

(NETA) – Maintenance and Testing Specifications, 2023 for fused switches.

10. High Voltage switches are not on this list, but I know for a fact that Jefferson Barracks had an old antiqued High Voltage switch please advise.

a. Per JB Maintenance and Operations, the largest switch in the Jefferson Barracks facility operates at 4160 volts and should be tested in accordance with NETA, NFPA, and the manufacturer's guidelines.

11. It was verbally discussed that we would be able to schedule our outages in consecutive days example Monday -Thursday four tens. That will allow us to have one hour set up and tear down each outage with the allowed eight hours shutdown per night. This is important because it allows us to schedule our crews on evening Shift work versus paying them overtime. Please get this in writing so we can bid more aggressively.

a. The contractor should anticipate working nights and weekends for all outages, as certain areas and shutdowns will need to be performed on weekends due to the operational requirements and usage of the space. Some workdays may need to vary in length to ensure all of the days scheduled testing can be completed in the agreed upon schedule, preventing duplicate shutdowns where applicable. See proposed work schedules for testing in the SOW.

12. I would like you to ask that everyone will be reporting antiqued equipment as deficiencies or only thermal problems. This is important because our team normally reports all deficiencies found and only a handful of those are thermal problems. I need in writing how they want us to handle visual deficiencies such as code violations? An example would be “Multiple conductors under one lug, missing knock outs, dirty equipment, and or arcing residue? In the Cochran location there was a section of switchgear in a room that had a leak, and they had plastic over the top of it to keep it dry yet we all could see rust residue that had leaked from the inside of the switchgear onto the floor. My local one electrician are not accustomed to turning a blind eye to this type of deficiency.

a. As per SOW Section 4. Deliverables: A complete written and digital test and maintenance report of the work performed shall be provided to the VA within 7 days of completion of the testing and maintenance at each campus, Information shown in the report shall be as listed in the SOW Section 4. – Deliverables.

13. Page 6 calls for a bid guarantee. We don't usually have these on service-type contracts. Page 7 of the solicitation references a "General Construction Solicitation." Is this truly required or a carryover from a template or other solicitation?

a. This contract is being solicitated as a construction project. In accordance with FAR

28.102-1(a), 40 U.S.C. chapter 31, subchapter III, Bonds (formerly known as the Miller

Act), requires performance and payment bonds for any construction contract exceeding

$150,000. Per FAR 28.101-1(a), A contracting officer shall not require a bid guarantee unless a performance bond or a performance and payment bond is also required.

14. Page 10, Factor 2 reference construction experience. Should this and other related sections be changed to require electrical testing experience?

a. Offerors must submit no less than TWO (2) examples of their successful technical electrical testing experience with projects that involved technical requirements similar to the requirements of this project.

15. There are references starting on page 5 under "Bid Item" referencing International Electrical

Testing Association (NETA) Maintenance and Testing Specifications, 2019 ed. This is an outdated testing reference. The most current reference is ANSI/NETA MTS-2023. All such references to the 2019 edition should be changed to ensure equipment is tested in accordance with the latest standards.

a. VA Healthcare Environmental and Facilities Programs (HEFP) has adopted the 2023 version of NETA MTS, all references to NETA MTS should be 2023 instead of 2019.

16. The solicitation references hard copies of bids will be required for our bid submission. Is this in place of emailed copies or as a supplemental to the emailed copies and how is the submission date impacted by the submission of hard copies?

a. Original Bid Bonds must still be received ATTN: Cedric Graham., Network Contracting

Office 15 (NCO15), 3450 S. 4th Street Trafficway Leavenworth, KS 66048 via US

Postal Service or other courier prior to the solicitation closing time. A copy of the bid bonds must be submitted with the emailed proposal submission.

17. What is the certification needed for labor performing tests?

a. First page, “This testing will be in accordance with the International Electrical Testing

Association, Inc. (NETA) – Maintenance & Testing Specifications

b. On Page 6 it states, Contractors shall be certified by the International Electrical Testing

Association (NETA) or equivalent certifying organization as certified technicians with each having completed the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) approved 10-hour construction safety training. NETA certification level shall be at the appropriate level for accomplishing the varied maintenance, inspection and testing requirements identified in scope of work.

c. What is the certification needed for scope of work, NETA or is NICET recognized or equivalent? Current requirements as I read NETA certified.

i. Testing will be performed in accordance with InterNational Electrical Testing

Association Maintenance and Testing Specifications (NETA MTS-2023)

ii. The VA recognizes NICET certifications as NETA equivalent for personnel certifications

iii. NICET and NETA offer various levels of certification tailored to different roles within electrical testing and maintenance industry, the technicians onsite need to be certified to the particular level corresponding to their duties.

18. During on site meeting, it was stated once contract is executed the agreement is for 365 days to complete. However, in the document it defines a specific schedule for Jefferson

Barracks end of May 2025 and John Cochran September 2025. Is this a hard schedule, or do we have a year to complete?

a. The Period of Performance is listed as 365 days to allow time for the contracted work to be completed and also allow time for deliverables and final paperwork for administration of the contract. However due to the nature of the contracted work and affected systems, some phases of work needs to be completed when the impact is less, such as testing is required completed when cooler temperatures exist such that we do not turn off the AC to patient wards for 12 hours in summer but also not in too cold as to affect heating when the steam plant needs to be tested. Under Section 5 Scheduling and Power

Outages, item B, The Contractor shall, within 30 calendar days after award, prepare and submit to the VA COR for acceptance a schedule showing the order in which the

Contractor proposes to perform work, and proposed dates on which the Contractor contemplates starting and completing work. In this section, the VA is referencing May

2025 and September 2025 as proposed dates to have testing occur, these dates are recommendations for your use in creating your schedule.

19. Confirm working hours of 6:00PM – 2:00AM is this for all work in the scope or related to shutdowns?

a. The contractor should plan to work nights and weekends for all outages, as specific areas and shutdowns will need to take place on weekends due to the usage of the space. Please note that many of our electrical panels are situated in hallways or small closets within hallways, necessitating that work be conducted after normal business hours or on weekends for electrical safety for our visitors and patients, unless prior written authorization is obtained from the COR.

20. Crew size – Are we able to add more labor to complete quicker?

a. Facility to provide (2) electricians – therefore 2 crews from contractor. Can we get more support from facility to add a 3rd crew?

i. Due to manpower constraints that will be allowed to dedicate to this project, we cannot commit more than 2 VA personnel on any shift.

21. 28 days of scheduling notice for each outage, based on initial schedule/timeline provided at kickoff. If we run into an issue say on Day 2, that might deviate contractor from initial schedule, is 28 days still required for shutdowns?

a. The 28-day scheduling notice for each outage will only be required for the initial schedule, and not for subsequent adjustments to the schedule. The Contractor should build in a makeup day or contingencies to their original schedule. This will allow them to make adjustments as needed without requiring additional notice periods. Any rescheduling for contingencies can be approved by COR provided they do not significantly change the original schedule or impact hospital operations.

22. When feasible work will be conducted during normal working hours 7:00AM – 4:30PM.

Conflicting work windows. Can all work be performed during the day besides shutdowns and testing? For example, IR Scan, can that be performed during normal hours?

a. The contractor should plan to work nights and weekends for all outages, as specific areas and shutdowns will need to take place on weekends due to the usage of the space. Please note that many of our electrical panels are situated in hallways or small closets within hallways, necessitating that work be conducted after normal business

23. System function tests

a. Who determines the 5% - 10% random testing? Onsite facility electricians or contractor?

i. Assuming this pertains to Section 3.F - Quality control of Contractor and Sub-contractor Employees. The contractor would randomly select 5% and 10% of the items they tested/maintained as part of their Quality Control Plan. The quality control plan shall include at a minimum the below items as listed in the SOW.

1. Photograph each component tested inspected and maintained prior to any work completed; upon completion of work on that specific component, a second photograph will be taken verifying the original position of any switch is the final position; the final photograph shall include a sticker indicating the date that the component was tested and/or maintained. The photographs shall include date and time stamps.

2. Randomly test (5%) of components that were removed for testing to ensure correct phasing upon re-insertion.

3. Randomly test (10%) of the components that were removed for testing to ensure proper reconnection of conductors/cables.

4. Provide digital files showing the results of any quality control testing/documentation.

24. Outage test – Need clarification on contractor all costs associated with services of local utility for duration of the test?

a. What financial responsibility does the contractor have regarding this item

i. The contractor is liable for all fees and costs associated with AmerenUE, which include permit fees, service call fees, after-hours fees, disconnect/reconnect fees and any other miscellaneous fees or costs that may occur from AmerenUE during the 4 hour test of the Essential Electrical System as required by VHA

Directive 1028, NFPA 110 and The Joint Commission.

25. Outage test – assuming local facility team is responsible for oversite and fueling of emergency generators supporting the facility?

a. VA Maintenance and Operations (Electric Shop) is responsible for fueling of emergency generators supporting both facilities during this project.

26. Some equipment did not have current within last 5 years arc flashing labeling. Will a current arc flash analysis document be provided to show compliance on all electrical equipment.

Required to be updated every 5 years per standards.

a. Recent Arc Flash project is in final stages of completion. The report can be furnished as required to show compliance.

27. Based on the SOW, we have 365 days for the Period for Performance, but it states in the schedule that The Contractor is required to complete all work at Jefferson Barracks on or before May 31, 2025. All work shall be completed at John Cochran on or before Sept. 30, 2025. This appears to contradict the POP, and we’d like some clarity on how scheduling will take place, specifically on scheduling flexibility when comparing the POP to the targeted deadlines for execution between each site.

a. Answered in question 18 above.

28. Will 480v power will be provided? If so, what will be the means of connection?

a. Per Section 2. G. of the SOW, The Contractor shall supply their own portable generators, lights, etc., as needed to accomplish work during power shutdowns. The

VA will not furnish materials or equipment for the contractor’s use.

29. The SOW states “In most VAMC, VA staff are not available to assist the Contractor in accessing/opening electrical equipment; therefore, the Contractor must not assume such support will be available and, accordingly, shall hire a local electrician, have proper staffing, PPE, and equipment to perform such tasks without VA assistance. Most VAMC will not provide more than two electricians to escort the survey, so the Contractor shall plan accordingly and not have more than two teams on-site per trip.”

a. If the contractor has adequate capabilities, staffing, PPE, and equipment, will we have autonomy to utilize more than 2 teams while executing the PM scope? Given the amount of items to be tested, we wonder if this limitation may bottleneck our ability to efficiently execute the SOW.

i. Many VA spaces are secured behind locked doors or require PIV access to get to some areas, VA security requires contractors and visitors that are not background checked and appropriately badged to be escorted. Due to manpower constraints that will be allowed to dedicate to this project for escorting and access controls, we cannot commit more than 2 VA personnel on any shift.

30. Regarding emergency power system, please confirm we are only testing the automatic transfer switches and breakers for the generators –generator testing is not required.

a. Load Bank testing of the generators is performed by a separate contract and not included in this contract, however all other aspects of the emergency power system shall be tested as per VHA Directive 1028, NETA MTS-2023, NFPA 110 and any other applicable codes.

31. Need to specify the VA POC for the utility (Amren)

a. Currently the VA POC for AmerenUE is our Electric Shop Supervisors onsite.

32. Can relay testing be completed during weekday dayshift?

a. The contractor should plan to work nights and weekends for all outages, as specific areas and shutdowns will need to take place on weekends due to the usage of the space. Please note that many of our electrical panels are situated in hallways or small closets within hallways, necessitating that work be conducted after normal business

33. We were told the contracting team would supply test sheets from 2022. This will help us clear up specific items such as how many transformers will require testing of oil samples.

a. The test report from 2022 will be provided, refer to this report as a guideline for the necessary inclusions. Note that there has been construction at both campuses since the report was issued, which may have resulted in the demolition of some equipment listed.

For updated counts, please consult the Arc Flash drawings and one-line diagrams.

34. 10% of breakers tested / what amperage / or do all get primary tested

a. We require Secondary Testing for breakers and testing is required for all breakers 225 amps and greater, however all molded case circuit breakers (including frame sizes 225 amps or less) must be tested to determine if contacts open and reclose when breaker is manually tripped and restored as per VHA Directive 1028.

b. For your 10% question, this pertains to Section 3.F - Quality control of Contractor and

Sub-contractor Employees. The contractor would randomly select 5% and 10% of the items they tested/maintained as part of their Quality Control Plan. The quality control plan shall include at a minimum the below items as listed in the SOW.

1. Photograph each component tested inspected and maintained prior to any work completed; upon completion of work on that specific component, a second photograph will be taken verifying the original position of any switch is the final position; the final photograph shall include a sticker indicating the date that the component was tested and/or maintained. The photographs shall include date and time stamps.

2. Randomly test (5%) of components that were removed for testing to ensure correct phasing upon re-insertion.

3. Randomly test (10%) of the components that were removed for testing to ensure proper reconnection of conductors/cables.

4. Provide digital files showing the results of any quality control testing/documentation.

35. Please confirm the electric shop will set up temporary lighting / supply 200A test power.

a. The electric shop will provide temporary power and lighting for the affected services in the hospital only. Per Section 2. G. of the SOW, The Contractor shall supply their own portable generators, lights, etc., as needed to accomplish work during power shutdowns. The VA will not furnish materials or equipment for the contractor’s use.

36. We would like to request a 14-day reporting turnaround period vs 7-days.

a. The VA will agree to a 14 day reporting turnaround period for Deliverables instead of 7 days as originally specified in Section 4. A – C

37. Please clarify what equipment is present in the medium voltage buildings.

a. All equipment including switchgear and breakers, etc will be listed on the current one line and arc flash drawings from the most recent arc flash study that was attached to the solicitation.

38. Site N8, 1, 9, 5 are present on the Jefferson Barracks Arc-Flash drawings, but not present on the suggested Jefferson Barracks schedule. Have there been any onsite changes between the last time this testing scope was executed in 2022, and when the arc- flash was last conducted in 2023?

a. The arc flash drawings and one-line diagrams issued are the most current versions.

Jefferson Barracks and John Cochran are continually updated, and the testing data from 2022 may not reflect the latest information found in the one-line diagrams from the

2023 arc flash project.

39. How many oil-filled transformers are there between both locations that will require oil samples?

a. John Cochran Campus has 2 Oil-Type Transformers, Bldg 3 and Bldg 7.

b. Jefferson Barracks Campus has 12 Oil-Type Transformers, Bldg 1, 2, 3, 18, 23, 24, 25, 51, 51A, 52, 53 and 58.

40. The tests should be done based on NETA, but it is not clear which devices should be tested.

At some points Switchgears, relays and metering devices are mentioned, but Table 1 only lists Panels, Circuit Breakers, Generators, ATSs, Transformers, UPSs and Fused Switches.

Should we consider that the specifications make generic mentions and that only the devices listed in "Table 1: Quantities of Electrical Distribution System Components" should be included in the proposal?

a. Refer to the Test Reports from 2022 as a guideline for the necessary inclusions. Note that there has been construction at both campuses since the report was issued, which may have resulted in the demolition of some equipment listed and possible installation of new equipment. For updated counts, please consult the Arc Flash drawings and one-line diagrams.

41. Can the Circuit Breakers 225 Amps or greater listed in Table 1 be tested by secondary injection?

a. Yes, All testing of electrical components shall be “Tested in Place”.

42. Regarding infrared scanning: It is clear that it is necessary to provide a report with infrared photographs for equipment in abnormal conditions. Is it necessary to provide digital photos of all devices even if they are in normal conditions?

a. Only equipment with deficiencies.

43. Will a load bank test be required for the generators?

a. Load Bank testing of the generators is performed by a separate contract and not included in this contract.

Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the

Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses

(29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).

The body of each wage determination lists the classifications and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classification rate.

Union Rate Identifiers

A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than

""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers.

0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over time that are reported to WHD in the rates in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classification.

Union Average Rate Identifiers

The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:

UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.

The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.

Survey Rate Identifiers

The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007

6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier.

?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).

State Adopted Rate Identifiers

The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007

01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.

The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS

1) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:

a) a survey underlying a wage determination

b) an existing published wage determination

c) an initial WHD letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter

d) an initial conformance (additional classification and rate) determination

On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be directed to the WHD Branch of Wage Surveys. Requests can be submitted via email to davisbaconinfo@dol.gov or by mail to:

Branch of Wage Surveys

Wage and Hour Division

U.S. Department of Labor

200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

Regarding any other wage determination matter such as conformance decisions, requests for initial decisions should be directed to the WHD Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.

Requests can be submitted via email to BCWD-Office@dol.gov or by mail to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations

Wage and Hour Division

U.S. Department of Labor

2) If an initial decision has been issued, then any interested party (those affected by the action) that disagrees with the decision can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7).

Requests for review and reconsideration can be submitted via email to dba.reconsideration@dol.gov or by mail to:

Wage and Hour Administrator

U.S. Department of Labor

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue.

3) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative

Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to:

Administrative Review Board

U.S. Department of Labor

Washington, DC 20210.
