A.2 VENDOR QUESTIONS & RESPONSES

1. Following discussions with Russelectric/Siemens, we were advised that an RPTCS controller upgrade is needed to properly maintain the affected ATS units and provide a reliable preventive maintenance solution going forward. We were also advised that parts for the existing legacy controllers are no longer being manufactured, making continued repair increasingly difficult. For this reason, the RPTCS upgrade appears to be the most practical long-term solution.

- Would the Government accept the RPTCS controller upgrade as an acceptable method of completing the required ATS repairs under the Statement of Work?

o Yes, the Government will accept the RPTCS controller upgrade as an acceptable method of meeting the agency’s need.

2. It is difficult to accurately quote the repairs that are needed until the tests are performed, and the diagnostic tests must be performed prior to repairs being made. Will the contractor be allowed to make amend to their quoted price once it is determined what repairs are needed? Is it possible to change the price schedule, a CLIN for the diagnostic test and a CLIN for the repairs?

o A new Price/Cost Schedule is provided. One line-item is a flat fee for diagnostic’s which offerors will provide and be evaluated on. The other line-item is a not-to-exceed (NTE) that will be determined by the government at the time of award. Offerors will not provide pricing for that line-item. After the diagnostic test is completed, the contractor will provide a quote for repairs/upgrades. If the cost is not found fair and reasonable, the government will pursue repairs from another source.

The government may increase the NTE value post-award, if it is determined that additional funds are needed.

3. As we work on finalizing the upgrade path for the South Texas Veterans project, our team has noted that the existing switches under series 3299 cannot be upgraded directly due to their vintage and will need to be quoted as a full replacement.

- To ensure we configure the correct replacement units to match your system, could you please provide the following technical details?

• Voltage: 480V – 3-phase

• Amperage: 600A

• Pole Configuration: 3-pole

• Enclosure Type / NEMA Rating: NEMA 1 indoor

• Service Entrance requirement or any specific controller options: Not Applicable
