QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

· Is there an existing Arc Flash study, and if so, what software was it produced with?

There is an existing Arc Flash Study. We do not know the software use to produce it.

· Can you provide one-line diagrams of the existing system to be studied?

Yes, one line can be supplied upon request after award.

· Is this Arc Flash study to include the 3 Phase 208/120V systems or only to the end of the 480V system?

The Arc Flash study includes 3Phase 12kv, 3 Phase 408/277v, and 3 Phase 208/120v. Transformers, power panels, load centers, and disconnects.

· How should we incorporate the backup power system into our study? Analysis with both normal and backup systems connected (as may occur during transfer)?

The flash study will cover the whole camps of VA Loma Linda Hospital electrical system normal and emergency systems.

· The SOW states labels are to be placed on all equipment analyzed. Some of this equipment does not require labeling per NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584, is it acceptable to adhere to standards and omit this equipment from labeling? All equipment would still be included in analysis, study deliverables, and final report.

All equipment is to be labeled.

· In Section D, Item II. Background Information, it states the analysis shall be updated periodically. Is contractor responsible for the updates described, and does the VA anticipate how many updates will be needed within the PoP? Is this meant to be included in the Over and Above Services section of the Price Schedule? The arc flash analysis shall be updated when a major modification or renovation takes place. This will be covered under the Over and Above CLIN as needed with express authorization of the Contracting Officer.

· Instructions to Offerors states that VA Form 10091 and W-9 must be faxed to the VA Financial Service Center. Will attaching these forms to our bid submission via email fulfill this requirement?

No, the VA Form 10091 and W-9 must be sent to Financial Services as this is for the processing of payment and vendor registration.

· Would the government consider removing the Electrical C-10 License requirement since the scope already requires a professional engineer to review the results?

No.

· Would the government consider removing the Electrical C-10 License requirement since the scope already requires a professional engineer to review the results?

We can add License Electrical Engineer to the requirements.

· Would the government consider replacing the Electrical C-10 License requirement with the understanding that the work must be performed by or under a licensed engineer?

If the company is owner is a license C-10 they must have a license Electrical Engineer.

· Would the government consider changing the NAICS code to 541330 so Engineering Firms are not excluded? No this shall remain a service as to prevent further delay.

*Do not submit pricing for over and above CLIN 0002 as that is an as need service
