36C26119B0015 Amendment 0007

RFI #10: Drawing E211 note 9 refers to Panel M as existing to remain. Drawing E004 Panel M, panel schedule indicates Panel to be a new panel. Which is Correct?

RFI 10 Answer - Panel M is an existing 225 Amp panel that is to be replaced with a 400 Amp panel. Note 9 changed on drawing E211 to clearly indicate we are replacing a 225A panel with a 400A panel. The panel name will remain Panel “M”.

RFI #11: Please review the entire one-line diagram on plan sheet E002 and Key notes on Sheet E201. It appears that there are undersized feeders to ATS PH. There appears to be double up on the #750MCM conduit runs to panels “M”, “EHLS”, and distribution board “HNMA”. All electrical pull boxes seem to be too small by code.

RFI 11 Answer - A) the Feeders to ATS PH should be have (2) in the description for parallel feeders. Drawings revised to show this. B) the feeders to the ATSs are running parallel feeders for the normal and generator power to each of the ATSs due to the voltage drop. Revised notes to help clarify that we are requiring parallel feeders. C) Electrical pull box call outs revised to meet NEC 314.28. Changes shown on drawings.

RFI #12: Plan sheet E201 – There is a conduit and cable conflict between sheet note #4 and #6.

Please specify what cable is actually required.

RFI 12 Answer - Feeder call out should be “NEW (2)SETS (4)#250CU AND (1)#3CU GND IN 2-1/2”C”. Revised note #4 to match riser note #6.

RFI #13: Sheet E201, note #12 – The Junction box is too small for this application. Please provide a detail and part numbers for how this tension box is to be put together and how the cable loops are to be supported with the springs.

RFI 13 Answer - A) the junction box sized per NEC 314.28 and shown on revised drawings. B) provided new detail on sheet E501.

RFI #14 - Sheet E202, note #2 – Please provide part #’s and a detail of how to install the tension springs with the cable loops. Junction boxes are too small to loop cables.

RFI 14 Answer - A) Provided new detail on sheet E501. B) the junction box sized per NEC 314.28 and shown on revised drawings.

RFI #15: Sheet E211, note #4 – Why does this box need tension springs? Is this box too small for this application? Please provide a detail for the tension spring system you are suggesting.

RFI 15 Answer - A) tension springs are not required. B) the junction box sized per NEC 314.28 and shown on revised drawings.

RFI #16 - 1. Referencing the Spec section 01 45 00 par 3.4B: The CQC System Manager qualification seems incomplete for the number of years and experience required. Please clarify.

RFI 16 Answer – Please see updated spec section 01 45 00 Par 3.4B

RFI #17 - Referencing the Spec section 01 45 00 par 3.4C: The CQC Personnel requirement seems incomplete and unedited. Please confirm what discipline for CQC personnel is required or applicable as stated in the Experience Matrix.

RFI 17 Answer – See update spec section 01 45 00 par 3.4C the experience matrix is provided as the base specification. The contractor shall use what is applicable per the project/specifications.

RFI 18 - Referencing the Spec section 01 45 35, Qualifications table beginning on page 7 and ending on page 11: The “Special Inspector” area seems unedited as it asks for 17 special inspectors to include pre-stressed, post-tensioned concrete construction and masonry construction. The RFP does not have pre-stressed, post-tension concrete or masonry activities. Please advise what are the minimum special inspection/inspector requirements.

RFI 18 Answer – Specification section 01 45 35 shall be removed in its entirety.

RFI #19 - Referencing the project duration as stated in the SF1442: It states 180 calendar days. There are major equipment requirements that will require a long lead time to fabricate. Is it the intent of the VA to issue an administrative NTP to allow for procurement, material submittal approval and fabrication lead time before issuing a construction NTP? If so, please advise how many days.

Answer RFI 19 – Period of performance is changed to 210 calendar days.

5. Referencing the 36C26119B0015-000.doc, Statement of Work for Construction Services, Section 4: Administrative, specifically 4.4 (page 4 of 52): ”… The contractor’s proposal will list the breakdown of all materials and labor and time required to complete the above-mentioned work.” Please confirm if this is required to be submitted with the proposal.

RFI #20: Please provide the existing distribution and panel schedule for “GNHDP-2” and “HNMA” to add new 400A 277/480 3PH breakers to. These are not shown in E-003 & E-004 Electrical Schedules.

RFI 20 Answer - Copies of one single lines for each is being provided. Distribution Panels chosen have Spare and Space for project’s new breakers. We can take photos of existing Distribution Panel’s name plates if desired.

RFI #21 - Please confirm it MHLS as stated in the Single Line Diagram (E-002) is the same as EHLS in E211 electrical key note#15.

RFI 21 Answer - Yes, change made to sheet E-002.

RFI #22 - Please provide AIC rating for the Panel boards as series rating is not allowed on this job.

RFI 22 Answer - The highest AIC we are connected to is 65KAIC, please size panel boards and equipment as 65KAIC. Added information to sheets E-002, E-003, and E-004.

RFI #23 - The largest gap is in the HVAC side of the project; we need detailed photos of the entire existing HVAC unit including all controls and all data plates. We also need detailed measurements of the units base, duct attachment points and entry points of the electrical and steam lines. Some of this is on the plans but not all.

RFI 23 Answer – Pictures of the HVAC are attached as 0643, 0645, 0645 and 0647. HVAC Specifications are also attached.
