About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers document for solicitation 75F40126R00049, the IRV Exhaust and Vacuum Pump Replacement project at the FDA Pacific Southwest Laboratory in Irvine, California. The Q&A addresses eight vendor inquiries covering project requirements and site logistics.
Key responses clarify that no Project Labor Agreement or union requirements apply; Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage requirements (WD CA20260024) do apply. The existing Building Automation System is Automated Logic with Accutrol lab controls, and installers must comply with Section 23 09 00 specifications with no directed subcontractors. For the exhaust fan system, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are required on both fans per Section 23 09 13, with multiple acceptable manufacturers; no government preference is stated. New ductwork in contact with isolator discharge air must be constructed of 316L stainless steel, with welded construction required in concealed locations and flanged/gasketed construction acceptable in accessible locations meeting Seal Class A specifications with gasket materials identified in submittals. The government provided HVAC and plumbing as-builts as Attachment 9 through amendment, though field verification remains required. Regarding site logistics, contractors must arrange off-site parking and submit a Site Logistics Plan before Notice to Proceed; badging lead time is approximately 30 days. Loading dock access is available 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM on a shared, first-come basis, with no in-building storage permitted.
