S06 Question and Response - Solicitation 36C26326B033.pdf

This document is a Responses to Questions/RFI/Clarifications file for federal contract solicitation 36C26326B0033, Project Number 568A4-24-202, titled "Update Electrical Equipment on Campus."

The document addresses a single clarification question regarding Building 12's emergency power requirements during generator switchgear replacement work. The questioner inquired about the acceptable duration for Building 12 to operate without emergency backup power while the new generator switchgear is installed in the same location as the old switchboard, noting that relocation of the switchgear might be necessary if extended outages are unacceptable. The government's response confirms that no definite timeframe for the outage has been established, but states that outages will be executed as quickly as possible and will be coordinated with VA staff. The response also definitively clarifies that the generator switchgear will not be relocated. This clarification establishes project parameters for contractors regarding scheduling constraints and facility limitations during the electrical equipment upgrade work.
