About this file

This document is an Amendment to a Request for Quote (RFQ) for electrical work at a Veterans Affairs medical facility. The solicitation (36C25925Q0638) involves refeededing electrical from the Generator Room to Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) #3 at the VA facility, with specific requirements for working in active emergency room and MRI areas. Key details include:

The amendment includes vendor Q&As addressing critical operational constraints, such as limited 4-hour downtime for ATS-3, requirements for coordinating work in emergency rooms, and specific electrical specifications (4) 4/0s and (1) #4 ground in a 2 1/2" or 3" conduit. The project requires careful scheduling, with work to be performed during normal business hours (7:00am to 3:30pm), and mandates that the new electrical feeder must be in place before demolishing the existing feeder. The amendment also updates wage determinations for Oklahoma County and provides an Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) form for the construction project.

RFQ 36C25925Q0638

Refeed Electrical from Generator Room to ATS #3 Vendor Questions and VA answers in red

CONTRACTOR Q&As #1

Question No. 1: How many days' notice do we need to provide to access the two ER rooms and pipe out of both?

Answer No. 1: Please provide an overall schedule to include the days that you will need access to the rooms as a submittal prior to start of work

Question No. 2: How long can each ER be shut down? And can both be shut down simultaneously, or will they need to be phased down?

Answer No. 2: Please provide an overall schedule to include the days that you will need access to the rooms as a submittal prior to start of work

Question No. 3: Is there a way to coordinate access to the 2 ER Rooms in the same day, shut down the ATS 3, which powers all or most of the hospitals MRI machines, and Panel EGR to tie it all in, in the same week and shut down ATS#3 and the panel feeding it, all in the same week?

Answer No. 3: Part 1: both ER rooms would be able to be closed at the same time, in doing so a barrier would have to be placed at the entrances, as only one tile can be out at a time otherwise.

Part 2: ATS-3 is critical and down time is limited to four hours in total, it can not be down for a week.

Question No. 4: What are the hours we can work, without noise affecting patients with drilling through concrete walls?

Answer No. 4: There is no best time to work. Patient occupancy fluctuates. COR work hours are 7:00am to 1530pm.

Question No. 5: What are the busiest days for MRIS?

Answer No. 5: It varies, as it supports our emergency patients as well as regularly scheduled patients, two weeks’ notice and coordination will ensure goal is met for outage.

Question No. 6: How long can we shut MRIS down?

Answer No. 6: No more than 4 hours. Provide schedule of work

Question No. 7: Do we need to shut down the Panel EGP, which supplies ATS #3 and features a 225 amp breaker, in order to work on it, or can we work on it while it's live?

Answer No. 7: Panel EGP is only energized when the generator is running, there will be no problem in shutting the main breaker off, located left of the panel in generator control gear, as long as electrical staff is made aware at the time, no notice would be required for this portion of the project.

Question No. 8. Please confirm award contractor will have access to the emergency room during construction.

Answer No. 8: Yes, the contractor will have access to the emergency room, however, the COR will have to badge the contractors in

Question No. 9: Since construction will be performed in an active emergency room, will an ICRA plan be provided to all bidders?

Answer No. 9: Yes an ICRA will be provided to all bidders

Question No. 10: Can the VA specify conduit and wire size/type that needs to be installed?

Answer No. 10: 4) 4/0s 1) #4 ground, in a 2 1/2'” or 3” conduit, contractor’s choice.

Question No 11: Can an alternate route be considered? Outside above the canopy walkway possibly? This would keep us from having to go through ER areas.

Answer No. 11: Conduit needs to be ran with existing conduits, everything currently ran on the outside is for temporary equipment only, permanent utilities need to be physically secured and away from damage.

Question No. 12: Does the new feeder need to be in place and ready to terminate before we can demo the old feeder? Or can we demo old feeder as we install new feeder?

Answer No. 12: Yes, new feeder needs to be in place prior to demo of existing feeder, providing continuity of backup generator feed serving critical loads and patients.

Question No. 13: Please confirm if we can do all of the install during normal working hours.

Answer No. 13: Normal business hours would be best as this is an emergency room, which never shuts down.

** Workers in this classification may be entitled to a higher minimum wage under Executive Order 14026 ($17.75) or 13658 ($13.30). Please see the Note at the top of the wage determination for more information. Please also note that the minimum wage requirements of Executive Order 14026 are not currently being enforced as to any contract or subcontract to which the states of Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi, including their agencies, are a party.

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 classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average 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 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 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

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 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210

The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by 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 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210
