Blaine Greenwalt Contracting Officer RFQ 36C26222Q0034 0004 Amendment Questions and Answers

1. What is the current monthly pricing for the boiler and cooling tower treatment? This information is available through the freedom of information act and can be requested by your organization through that avenue.

1. Is the VA interested in seeing an optional proposal to replace the current controllers with new controllers that communicate remotely, and track inhibitor feed based on tracers? IT won’t sign off on any times that may require network connection.

1. The spec states that the towers need to be cleaned Annually. Based on the site visits today some of the cooling towers have not been cleaned. The current contract ends March 31st, 2022. Will all the cooling towers be cleaned before the new contract is awarded? They will not due to manning issues. I just had a guy retire, do I’m down to 4 people to cover 24/7 operations.

1. Some of the towers appear to have a good amount of scale on them. Some even had louvers off to allow for more airflow into the tower. Is this a common occurrence year-round? It was noted that the tower media at Building 40 was just replaced approximately 3 years ago. It is not a common occurrence. Currently Tower 4 is down for a bad motor, so we are rotating more on the other 3 more than usual.
