QUESTION

# CONTRACTOR QUESTION VA RESPONSES TO QUESTION

1 Section 25 10 10: I have reached out to all of our MEP subcontractors and JCI, no one seams to know or understand what the requirement is with the advanced utility metering system. JCI is not including it in their quote and have referred me to Schneider Electric whom they believe has a national contract with the VA to monitor the meters. The electrical subs have excluded any metering of the panels and don’t know how to integrate the system because of the lack of drawings. The M/P subs think it’s a JCI system but also believe it might be Honeywell. Please provide some additional drawings on how and where the system is to be installed and a BOD.

Bidders to disregard specification section 25 10 10. See “S06 Q_A Atch 1 - Revised Atch C.1 Specifications Vol 1.2 - 609 pages” which has removed specificaton section 25 10 10. Also see See “S06 Q_A Atch 2 - Revised Atch C.1 Specifications Vol 1.1 - 291 pages” with a revised specificaton section 00 01 10.

2 The solicitation requires our schedule to be submitted with our proposal to have an assumed project award of May 15th. We obviously shouldn’t have an assumed award date before the project bids. Can you clarify what the new assumed award date should be in our schedule? This could have potential have major impacts on the AHU installation as it may push it into a different season and change the cooling demands. This would change our technical write up on how we would handle the new AHU installation.

For scheduling purposes, assume an estimated award date of August 1, 2023, and that the Notice to Proceed will be issued ninety (90) calendar days after the award date, October 30, 2023.
