Generator Questions Pertaining to Solicitation

36C25719R0017

1.When were the batteries last changed?

Answer: There is a date on the batteries

2.When are the load tests completed.

Answer: They must be coordinated with the VA prior. The two generators in Bldg. 163 must be scheduled 2 weeks in advance

3. Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) physical inspection is in the base year but not in the option years.

Answer: Unsure, I looked and in 1a Contractor Responsibilities: excluding the automatic transfer switches. This is stated on all option years. ATS is excluded from this specific requirement.

This is a contract for the annual maintenance of the generators and not the power distribution equipment.

Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) are not included for scope of work for this requirement. Do not include any pricing in proposal for ATS, as it is not required and will not be done under an awarded contract for this requirement.

4. Is there a requirement for quarterly inspections?

Answer: NO.

5. Are you to follow NFPA 110 load test specifications?

Answer: Yes

6. Do the docking stations where the wires are connected for the load test have cam locks? Answer:

NO

7. What type of Coolant is used?

Answer: Per manufactures recommendations for each Particular unit.

8. Are funds set aside for any un foreseen repairs.

Answer: Yes; Per Item # 0003 base year the VA will determine how much funding will be allocated for repairs which will be identified on Awarded Contract and set aside for repairs. Item # 1003,2003,3003 and 4003 for option years.

9. Is there a requirement to have the exterior of the coils cleaned for air flow purposes? If so what method? Dry ice, pressure wash or compressed air?

Answer: No

VA personnel will perform this task.

10. Is there an existing contract and if so what is the Contract ID to review contract?

Answer: There is no existing contract. The last contract has expired, Previous awarded contract number is 36C25718P1157 which was a purchase order award; current statement of work is modeled from the last SOW; with the exception of the requirement to: Flush and clean the cooling system and replace the coolant in the base year. This requirement was not in the previous purchase order award; It is intended that the cooling system be flushed with the manufacturers recommended chemical flushing agent.

11. It is stated in the SOW that once work has started it must be completed within 45 days

Answer: That is correct 45 Days
