Any requirement for abating hazmat will be defined on the task order.

6 No Reference Will there be any third party or FAA testing required on major electrical or HVAC systems prior to selection by the Contractor?

This is a post award question.

7 J.01 SIR documentation mentions onsite testing and submission of test reports. Will there be requirements for the Contractor to submit test reports to the FAA or to support FAA testing and acceptance prior to connecting to CDPS or ACEPS systems?

Yes, refer to SOW sections 3.2.7.9, 3.2.7.10, 3.2.8.8, and 3.2.8.9.

8 J.01, Section 3.2.6.2

The SOW states, "An inherent part of constructability is Operational Risk Management (ORM). The FAA has set requirements for documentation and participation in the ORM process. As determined by the CO, the Contractor must document or participate in this process."

Will the Contractor be responsible for coordinating maintenance periods with controlling authorities directly for work affecting operational facilities/systems?

As determined by the CO, the contractor will participate in the ORM coordination process. However, all ORM coordination with controlling authorities will be performed by FAA personnel.

9 J.01, Section 3.2.6.2

The SOW states, "The contractor must recommend a construction period of optimum duration for each assigned project that includes allowances for system cutover, adverse weather conditions, and in-service modifications, and must develop a design that assures constructability of facilities with minimum operational disruption."

Does this mean direct coordination with AT/SOCs/SSCs/Command Center or will the Contractor support PSG who in turn works with Ops to define the MOP used and the windows of work that will minimize impact?

Unless otherwise directed, the contractor will support the FAA (Program Offices and Engineers), who will coordinate with the appropriate stakeholders.

We are currently evaluating several projects for inclusion in SIR Attachment J.32 and would appreciate clarification on when a project is considered complete. Specifically, should completion be defined as:
