Department of Labor has set forth in 29 CFR 23.510, Disputes concerning contractor compliance, the procedures for resolving disputes concerning a contractor ’s compliance with Department of Labor regulations at 29 CFR part 23. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with those procedures and not the Disputes clause of this contract .

These disputes include disputes between the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency , the Department of Labor, or the workers or their representatives.

(i) Antiretaliation.

Where is Division 078100-Applied Fireproofing applicable to this project?

1/27/2022

This is in the documents. Applied fireproofing is required where existing is disturbed, damaged, or destroyed as a result of construction efforts. The Contractor is responsible for restoring the fireproofing to the required fire resistance rating in an approved manner. Sheets FA100 and FP100 address this requirement specifically.

However, other trades (electrical, mechanical, telecom) are affected. By observation (and must be field verified), existing primary steel members are fireproofed, see photo below from our initial site investigation. It is Veltre’s understanding the old UBC only required primary steel to be protected and there were a few exceptions for omitting protection on secondary members that must have been applied here. It is believed that the underside of the walkerducts were also protected.

On the CAT3 tie cable, coax cables and Fiber cables they are spec'ing CMR cable. This is NOT allowed and is a lot cheaper than the required Plenum cable (CMP).

As an RCDD I cannot knowingly bid the CMR cables that I know are not allowed. Which would only be cause for a high CO after the fact. They do specify the correct Plenum rated cables for the workstation outlets.

Bidding CMR cables would result in a lower number but isn't correct.

Would the successful bidder be required to hold a facility security clearance at a company level?

2/28/2022

The Government is unsure of what the contractor means by "facility security clearance at a company level." GSA does not differentiate security clearances by facility. All contractors working on the project will be required to go through the GSA security clearance process. Whether personnel need "Tier 1" or "SAC" (long term versus short term) clearances will vary by role and length of time on the project. Any personnel needing only minimum time on the project can be escorted by someone with a Tier 1 clearance and are not required to go through the security clearance process.
