| 28 | Exhibit B.2 | Exhibit #'s 808 | Technical | Please proved the specification for battery monitoring. | Our control battery is only monitored by a Bender relay at the DC distribution panel board. We monitor for under voltage and ground fault. | ||
| 29 | 5 | J-4 | 1.2.1 | Technical | States that EPMS must be a monitoring system only and not control equipment. EPCS systems are to incorporate EPMS plus control functionality. How is this requirement to be squared with para 2.8 stating that the PMCS is a PLC based control system distinct from the EPMS and the two systems are not installed in the same facility? Is the EDE SIR Attachment J.13 Sample AECEPS Phase II Drawing package indicating the controls that are to be integrated into theEPCS? If so, how is the PCMS differentiated from the EPCS? | The EPMS is a monitoring only system. The EPCS is a control system that may include monitoring functionality. Distinct and separate EMS (monitoring only) and EPCS (control and monitoring) systems are not typically installed in the same facility. Attachment J.13 shows the PCMS EDE control subsystem (PCMS). See subsequent comment for further background on PCMS. | |
| 30 | 5 | J-4 | 1.2.2 | Technical | Does the software platform capable of both monitoring and control have to be the same software program or can multiple programs be utilized? I.E. on for monitoring and one for SCADA control? | Multiple software platforms may be used, provided that they are accessible from a single user interface. | |
| 31 | 5 | J-4 | 1.2.3 | Technical | Is the FAA expecting access to the original software code and/or software code documentation for monitoring or control software? Please clarify. | FAA is expecting access to scripting, configuration, ladder logic, etc. and related documentation required to build and/or reconfigure each EPMS/EPCS project. | |
| 32 | 6 | J-4 | 1.5.b | Technical | Does the FAA require mimic bus on the front of equipment showing EPMS hardware and wiring? | The mimic bus should show the location of CTs, voltage sensing, and meter displays. | |
| 33 | 7 | J-4 | 1.7 | Non-Technical | Is a copy of Section C detailing training requirements available? | See Section C.12 training requirements are equal to internal vendor requirements. | |
| 34 | 7 | J-4 | 1.8.1 | Non-Technical | Will the FAA provide the final A&E design drawing in .dwg format so that EPMS can be incorporated into the drawings? | No. Often .dwg files are not available until late in a project. The block level diagram in the A&E design does not have sufficient space for the required detail on the EPMS drawings. | |
| 35 | 7 | J-4 | 1.8.1.3 | Non-Technical | Who is responsible for generating the points list? | FAA or A&E will specify which points are to be monitored. Vendor must incorporate points into detailed list as described in 1.8.1.3 Points List and Alarming. | |
| 36 | 12 | J-4 | 2.3.3 | Technical | Does the EPMS software have to be a SCADA based HMI system? Can the EPMS be a monitoring only software offer? | Yes. EPMS software must be a SCADA based HMI system. No, the system has to be capable of EPMS and EPCS. | |
| 37 | Multiple | J-4 | Multiple | Non-Technical | Please provide guidance and clarify as to which section most defines the scope and responsibility objectives, 2.2.4, 2.3.9, or 3.1 | 2.3.9 and 3.1 define requirements and responsibilities for integrating EPMS/EPCS devices into switchboards, panelboards, etc. 2.2.4 describes requirements for custom enclosures if needed for specific projects. | |
| 38 | 15 | J-4 | 2.5.5 | Do all network switches have to support the 1000 BaseT communication speed indicated? | No | ||
| 39 | 15 | J-4 | 2.6 | Technical | Which para is operational, para 2.6 or 2.2.4? What determines when it is required for EPMS hardware to be in a separate enclosure? Is the intent of para 2.6 for the SCADA supplier to free issue hardware components such as ethernet switches, SER's, meters, VDT's, mini UPS, and PLC's to switchgear and switchboard OEMs for factory mounting and wiring by 3rd party OEM suppliers? | Both paragraphs are operational. 2.2.4 describes requirements for custom enclosures if needed for specific projects. 2.6 describes EPMS/EPCS component integration requirements and exceptions. Means and methods are left to vendor. | |
| 40 | 15 | J-4 | 2.6.2 | Technical | Are the EPMS/EPCS servers separate machines from the PCMS servers? | Yes | |
| 41 | 21 | J-4 | 2.7.4 | Technical | Does this paragraph or the EPMS detail drawings for Type 1 and Type 2 installations determine the scope of hardware to be monitored? What determines whether a particular device is a "monitoring device"? | Paragraph 2.7.4 describes scope for the contract. EPMS detail drawings for Type 1 and Type 2 provide examples of typical projects for pricing purposes. | |
| 42 | 23 | J-4 | 2.7.6.3.4 | Technical | Are all loads simple radial fed so that animated bus via logical combinations of metered buses can be safely used to indicate the true state of bus energization? Is scripting in para 2.7.6.3.5 acceptable for determining a bus as live/dead. | Loads are not all simple radial fed. Power system configurations include main-tie-main, A/B paths, dual fed equipment, and/or potential backfeeding. Scripting in para 2.7.6.3.5 is acceptable for determining bus state. | |
| 43 | 36 | J-4 | 2.8 | Technical | How is the EPCS to be a "distinct" PLC based control system per para 2.8 and also a server client system per para 1.1 and 2.3.1? What means will be used to communicate that an EPCS is required? Is General Note 2 on the PCMS Active One Line Dwgs indicating that an EPCS is required for the critical and essential systems? Do the terms PMCS and EPCS refer to the same system? | The EPCS is based on PLCs that communicate with a server/client but can continue all operations independently of the server/client for instance in the event of a server/client failure. A&E design will indicate whether EPCS is required. General Note 2 on Attachment J-13 WG-ACEPSII-ZXX-E-273, 274 refers to the PCMS. PCMS and EPCS do not refer to the same system. PCMS in this SIR refers to the PCMS EDE control subsystem as shown in the red-clouded areas of Attachment J-13. | |
| 44 | 37 | J-4 | 2.8.4 | Technical | Are all breaker control commands manually entered only and is breaker open/close control the only desired functionality of the EPCS? | Breaker commands may be logic based in addition to manually entered. Breaker open/close is largely the only control functionality of EPCS. Additional control functionality may include such equipment as load bank control panels, etc. | |
| 45 | J-13 | General | Non-Technical | Confirm that only red "clouded" equipment is included in RFP | Confirmed | ||
| 46 | 3 | J-13 | Dwg WG-ACEPSII-ZXX-E-241 | Technical | These drawings show a Kohler paralleling gear for generators and a redundant PLC control scheme for emergency power including control of generators and downstream breakers as part of a PMCS system. Is the PMCS to be standalone from EPMS and EPCS? If not, is one vendor to control generators, critical/essential breaker open/close configuration and provide EPMS/EPCS monitoring an control all in one software package? | Background: In attachment J-13 "PCMS" is used to refer to the entire ACEPS control system as provided by multiple vendors to control generators, breakers, UPS, STS, etc. For the purposes of these responses "PCMS" referrers to the EDE control subset of the entire control system. Response: The PCMS is largely standalone but there is some non-control integration for notification (monitoring). One vendor is not responsible to control generators, critical/essential breaker open/close, UPS, STS, etc. but may be responsible for monitoring said equipment. | |
| 47 | E272, E273, E274 | J13 | PCMS Screen | Technical | Please confirm the new Essential System screen must duplicate the functionality of the existing Critical system. If so, will the FAA provide the firmware/software of the existing Critical System? Is the update of the Critical system screen to include the Essential system functionality included in this RFP? | Confirmed. FAA will provide firmware/software of existing Critical System to extent possible as dictated by copyright, etc. Update of the Critical System to include the Essential System functionality is to be included in this RFP. | |
| 48 | E224 | J.13 | DM Panels | Technical | Are the CH and MCC panels Floor mounted switchboards or wall mounted panleboards. Panel schedules could not be located. | CH and MCC are to be floor mounted switchboards. | |
| 49 | 1 | J-16 | Note 28 | Technical | Is the integration of the EDE and other supplied equipment (STS, EG, Load Bank, UPS) to be made with only the EPMS (monitoring only) and no control required? Are these items to be considered part of an EPMCS system also? | No control is required for STS, EG, Load Bank, UPS, etc. The monitoring of these items is to be considered a part of the EPMCS system. | |
| 50 | 2 | J-1 | 1.3 | Technical | Are the generators existing but the paralleling switchboards specified herein new and to be incorporated into a new PCMS system that interfaces with EPMS/EPCS? Are PCMS and EPCS synonymous? Are boards S-A and S-B and all E.O main breakers immediately downstream of S-A and S-B considered part of the Engine Generator System and excluded form this scope per Attachment J-16? | EG and PSG (in this case PSG refers to Paralleling Switchgear shown on the updated Attachment J-13) are not to be incorporated into the PCMS EDE control subsystem (PCMS). EPCS and PCMS are not synonymous. See "PCMS" background on previous response. Red-clouded areas in attachment J-13 are to be included in the scope. Non red-clouded areas are to excluded. | |
| 51 | 5 | J-1 | 2.1.1 | Technical | Are individual generator control and monitoring panels existing? | No | |
| 52 | EDE SIR110 | L6.b, d | Non-Technical | Does the FAA have a standard compliance matrix form (spreadsheet) for the RFP to a common platform for the bidders? | No, the Offeror must use their format. |
