Sheet1 PPI Log Northern Cheyenne Boiler-Chiller Replacement
| PPI No. | KTR No. | QUESTION | RESPONSE | Amendment 00001 |
| 1 | 1 | Could you provide a heating water sequence of operations? | Boilers feed a common supply header out to the building and are enabled on/off by the DDC Building Control System monitoring a supply set point on the HW supply. Boiler logic is controlled by their own on-board controller that stages the individual boiler with a lead/lag arrangement. | |
| 2 | 1 | Will there be a BMS which provides the control logic for the boilers or will the boilers control their own on/off, modulation and cascade? | See response to RFI #1 | |
| 3 | 1 | Should the boiler circulating pumps be variable speed? | No, constant speed. | |
| 4 | 2 | I was inquiring if you have selected a Commissioning Agent as of yet for the project or if that would fall under a mechanical contractor. If it is under a mechanical contractor, I was wondering if you have a list of some potential bidders for the project that I could submit bids to. | Section 23800 in the specifications detail the Mechanical System Commissioning. The prime is responsible for commissioning of the system. | |
| 5 | 3 | We are currently putting together a proposal for the Lame Deer Mt boiler project and hit a bit of a snag. When we reached out to our bonding company they see that liquidated damages and actual damages are called out in the solicitation but with not further definition then just a mention. (Section E.1. Inspections, A & B) They are concerned that without definition of a daily rate or actual cost then there could be some issues at a later date. | The Boiler-Chiller Replacement project does not include liquidated damages. The provision you are referencing pertains to progress payments not liquidated damages. | |
| 6 | Clarification to page 108 of NCSU - SOW Boiler-Chiller - FINAL | The specifications state 3 vendors for the building automation system. There should only be one vendor listed, because there is only one software platform controlling the building. It is the intent that installer match the boilers and chillers to use the existing system. The existing system is an Alerton, Incorporated. The attached specification highlights the area of concern on page 108. | ||
| 7 | 4 | Is there existing service contacts for the ChillerTrane and the Boiler? If so, Who are they? | There is not an existing service contract for the boilers and chillers. Facilities Management Staff will do standard PM’s on the boiler and chiller. If they run into issues they cannot handle they reach out to Trane (Billings Location) for the chiller and ATS Midland Northwest for any boiler issues. | |
| 8 | 4 | Who monitors the building? Is it JCI? | The BAC is Alerton Control System – ATS Midland Northwest is the rep for Alerton. | |
| 9 | 4 | I was unable to make the site visit but curious if you have a list of contractors that did make it to the visit? | The Site Visit Agenda and Sign-in Sheet are incorporated in Amendment 00001. |
