About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file for a multiple project solicitation at the Air Route Traffic Control Center in Minneapolis, MN. The Q&A covers various project-specific inquiries including lighting replacements, epoxy flooring, door replacements, and exterior concrete floor resurfacing. Key clarifications include requirements for LED lights (must be CFR Title 47 Part 15 Class B compliant), epoxy flooring application details, door and frame replacement specifications, and concrete floor repair instructions. Additional project details include working hours (7:00am to 5:30pm), on-site supervision requirements (one "Competent Person" can manage all roles), and contractor personnel will be escorted during the project with no PIV badges required. The FAA notes they are tax-exempt, but this does not extend to the contractor, and extended/weekend work can be granted with Contracting Officer approval.

ZMP Multiple Project Question and Answer
July 14, 2025
1. Installing new side lights isn’t mentioned in the work scope. Are these lights to be removed and not replaced?
FAA Response: All side lights and lights on the apex are to be removed and replace with new LED lights
2. What is the requirement for the new lights, is there a speci�ic �ixture or brand?
FAA Response: The brand can be part of the contractor’s submittal. The requirements for exterior LED lights must be CFR Title 47 Part 15 Class B compliant per FAA regulations.
3. Tower Inspection Documentation. Could we get the last two reports? They are only looking for the summary, pictures are not needed.
FAA Response: We can provide an excerpt of the 2024 Inspection only. Given the sensitive information within this report, what part of the report does the contractor needs? See attachment (J-16) for the Report’s “Findings and Recommendations”.
4. Does ZMP have rail grabs for the fall protection system, if so, how many?
FAA Response: The facility does have a pair of rail grabs for FAA employee only and does not want to be held liable for a non-FAA employee(s) using them. The FAA requests contractor include safety equipment as part of their quote for work speci�ied in the SOW.
5. From the tower inspection report:
Could you please clarify what the recommended actions are? Is this only referring to section 2.0.24 Ladder Safety System? Are there any other recommendations in any of the other sections?
FAA Response: As far as we have been notified Ladder Safety System is not FAA approved and restricts us (Federal workers) Level 2 FAA employees from climbing until a MSA Dyna-Glide LSS is installed
6. Could you provide us with the manufacturer and part number of the rail grabs for the fall protection system?
FAA Response: The current LSS is a Turris RAM Rail and we have 2 RAM Class FRL Troll Part # 160372, as said below about liability. At the ARTCC, we use something like the PETZL positioning lanyard, 3M SALA full body harness, and SALA Shockwave 2 Y lanyard with locking snap hooks.
7. Is the project tax-exempt? If so, will a certificate be provided?
FAA Response: The FAA is tax exempt, however this does not carry over to the Contractor.
8. What are the onsite supervision requirements. Can one individual assume all required roles on-site as long as they remain on-site during work?
FAA Response: Once a “Competent Person” (according to OHSA) and/or someone with authority that understands the scope of work, is/are on the site during execution of the work, it is permissible to have a single individual to assume all required roles.
9. What are the anticipated working hours?
FAA Response: 7:00am to 5:30pm. Extended/Weekend work can be granted in writing if approve by CO.
10. Are PIV badges required? If so, could you please outline the requirements?
FAA Response: No. All contractor personnel will be escorted during the duration of the project
Additional Questions Received on July 15, 2025 (No more Questions will be Received)
11. Project #2 - Resurface Boiler Room Epoxy Flooring A. During the site walk it was talked about doing 3 additional spots in an adjacent room that is to be done during this project. Is this something we should cover under our SOW?
B. What product is to be used?
FAA Response: A. The advertised square footage of the boiler room and entire area to be epoxied includes equipment and permanent obstacles that will have to be worked around. This leads to a difference in square footage (delta). We are saying to apply some of the left over to the area in the breakroom (if possible).
B. If approved by CO, the same materials used in the boiler room will be used in the breakroom hallway.
12. Project #3 – Remove and replace doors power service building A. After the site walk it was noticeable that the existing door hardware should be replaced with new vs reusing the existing hardware. How would you like us to bid on this? How many should we plan to replace?
B. It is mentioned in the SOW 1.1.2.2 that door frames need to be replaced when applicable. Should we plan to replace the door frames or just the door slabs?
FAA Response: A. This should be a separate line item. At this time, we do not need any hardware to be replaced.
B. During the site visit, the door frames that need replacement were identified.
13. Project # 10 Resurface exterior concrete floor and curb A. Exterior stairwell floor is this to be a full replacement of the concrete floor?
FAA Response: A. Negative. The slab needs to be “repair” rather than replace.
