QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

1. 5-31-19 6-20-19 We are reviewing the project and noticed that the drawings say, “not for construction.” Do you have the final versions? We just want to make sure that we are pricing the appropriate, complete set.

Please proceed with your proposal preparation.

The drawings are 100% complete. The Sioux Falls VA Engineering Department has started to implement that verbiage on their construction drawings. They have found in the past that there are always updates to the drawings that come about from technical questions, so they realize that they will be reissuing a complete final revised version to the winning proposal.

2. 6-10-19 6-20-19 Regarding the HVAC temperature controls for this project, there is no mention of connecting the controls for the new building to the existing campus Johnson Controls Metasys system. All other project at this location have required a connection to the existing system except this one.

Will this be required on this project?

Spec Section 23 09 23 indicates the system to be provided must be compatible with the VA’s existing system. The existing system is Johnson Controls Metasys system. Johnson Controls is the pre-selected Control System Integrator.

Current system communicates via network connections. Vendor to work with Johnson controls to verify connection location as needed.

3. 6-10-19 6-20-19 I see that there is a Commissioning Specification in the project documents, which states the VA will engage the CxA under a separate contract.

I was wondering if you had a Commissioning Agent on the project yet and if not who to contact about inquiring about providing Commissioning services for your project.

VA has engaged a Commissioning Agent for the project.

11. 6-20-19 6-20-19 Please provide the current advanced metering system used at the VA.

Metering systems are typically integrated into the switchboard by the switchboard manufacturer

12. 6-20-19 6-20-19 Exterior wall sheathing is called out in two different specifications sections:

Section 061000- Rough Carpentry, 3.1.C Sheathing calls for "Provide Plywood or Structural Use Panels for Sheathing.

Section 092900- Gypsum Board, 2.2 calls for Gypsum Board Sheathing The details on Drawings AE304, AE305, AE701, and AE702 shows the Plywood Sheathing- mainly under the face brick.

The details on Drawings AE601 and AE701 show the gypsum board sheathing- mainly under the metal wall panels, but details 5 and 6 on AE702 show OSB under the meal wall panels.

This can cause much confusion when it comes to install the exterior wall sheathing. Might it be simpler and more cost effective to just one type of exterior wall sheathing under all facings instead of 3?

This building project utilizes 3 exterior wall sheathing types:

1. Gypsum Board Sheathing used at brick and metal panel sided walls.

2. Plywood Sheathing used on backside of parapet walls as a roofing membrane nail board.

3. Polyiso. Insulation/ 5/8” OSB Nail Board (Section 07 22 00), used as a roofing membrane nail board and corrugated siding nail board.

At Wall Sections 10/AE304, 4/AE305 & 5/AE305-change note referring to 5/8” Ext Plywood to 5/8” Gypsum Sheathing.

13. 6-20-19 6-20-19 Who installed the duress system that is currently in use at the VA Hospital in Sioux Falls? I would like to be able to inform the electricians bidding a new project who they should reach out to for a bid to expand the duress system.

If that information isn’t available, I was wondering what brand of duress system is installed?

The existing duress system will not be used as an example of what to provide for the new building.

The VA is exploring a new system for the campus. For bidding purposes for this building, the contractor shall provide a completely new system with the following minimum features, in addition to features described in the specifications:

The system shall feature wireless devices for each office or room where duress alarms are shown.

The wireless devices shall feature a personal transmitter that emits a coded signal when activated, which interfaces with a receiver in each office or area with a duress alarm. The receiver then sends out a message to the control unit (hub), and includes information related to the location of the emergency and other relevant details. Some rooms will require a fixed wall duress alarm, which will operate similarly to the personal transmitters. The system shall be expandable and reconfigurable to allow re-assignment of transmitter data for personnel office moves and/or reassignment. The system shall be able to communicate from the main control panel, through the VA fiber optic data network, to a central location chosen by the VA. The system shall not use the wireless access points in the building for communication.

14. 6-20-19 6-20-19 Is this project sales tax exempt? If the project is sales tax exempt can the government provide a sales tax exemption certificate?

60. 6-25-19 7-10-19 Fire Alarm System:

I do not see any fire alarm system indications on the drawings (i.e. device legend or field devices). However, there is a specification and it calls for the expansion of the existing JCI fire alarm system. Please advise.

With regards to the fire alarm system serving this new space, JCI could expand upon the Building 1 system but the cable lengths would be extensive. JCI would recommend adding a small FACP and amplifier subpanel as an extension to the networked based campus fire alarm system given the distance between the new facility and the existing FACP / Amplifier subpanel serving Building 1 today (Room B37). To add another node, this would merely involve extending several network and audio trunk fire alarm (FPLR) circuits between panels.

Please advise.

Sheet FG101, sheet 66 of 102, shows the Fire Alarm Symbols Legend and Fire Alarm General notes. Sheet FA101, sheet 70 of 102, shows fire alarm system layout. Sheet FA501, sheet 71 of 102, shows Fire Alarm Riser Diagram and Matrix.

61. 6-25-19 7-10-19 Video Management System:

Given the absence of the fire alarm system indications, I thought it would be important to ask about the video management system. On numerous past conversations about this project, cameras were referenced to be included as part of this project. Out of curiosity, was this system omitted?

The fire alarm system is on plans and specs. See response by the fire protection engineer to fire alarm system question above.

Cameras/video management system are not part of the plans. Previous discussions with the VA indicate that the VA is investigating a security camera system for the building, which would typically include a video management system.

Such a system is not included in the bidding documents.

The specification calls for the extension of the existing system (provided by others – not JCI) and it also references the PACS System (JCI’s system) on numerous occasions. What is expected of this system in terms of interfacing to the PACS System?

If an interfaced system is required, this can be done via dry contacts but we’ll need some more information on the intentions? If a true integration is required, this will entail some extensive research to ensure this can be done.

The existing duress system will not be used as an example of what to provide for the new building.

The VA is exploring a new system for the campus. For bidding purposes for this building, the contractor shall provide a completely new system with the following minimum features, in addition to features described in the specifications:

The system shall feature wireless devices for each office or room where duress alarms are shown.

The wireless devices shall feature a personal transmitter that emits a coded signal when activated, which interfaces with a receiver in each office or area with a duress alarm. The receiver then sends out a message to the control unit (hub), and includes information related to the location of the emergency and other relevant details.
