As identified in the solicitation Section F.1 paragraph (c), all physical on site work for the project is to be completed within the 180-day or 150-day period following NTP for the post-Artemis 1 launch.

The Artemis 1 launch is currently scheduled for July 2021 but may be delayed up to Nov 2021. A second NTP to proceed with the post-Aretmis work is expected within 30 days after launch.

Welding Requirements What are the welding requirements for 23 00 00 2.7.1.3, 2.7.1.4, 2.7.1.7 and 2.9. We would like to weld all ECS ductwork to D17.0 clause 9, paragraph option 2 and AWS D9.1 sheet metal code and inspection shall be per AWS D17.1 clause 9, paragraph 9.2 option 2, class c visual only.

As identified in 23 00 00 2.7.1, all ductwork is to be fabricated to ASME B31.3. In addition for all ECS pipe and pressure ductwork, magnetic particle or liquid penetrant for aluminum examinations shall be performed on 100 percent of multi-pass thickness, root and cap passes, and any 1/2 inch filler pass in-between.

40 95 00, Section 3.3.1 Per 40 95 00, Section 3.3 .1 describes full loop calibration back to the PLC and validated at the HMI, but NASA is responsible for the PLC and any modifications to it. Section 3.3.3 provides exclusions of responsibility for the contractor but does not exclude errors due to PLC programming, HMI displays, or functionality controlled by the PLC. Please clarify the extent of the Controls testing required for this contract (It appears to be the intent for this contract to test to a prefunctional test level) and extent of the responsibility for functions/operations related to the PLC and SCADA.

Controls testing will be limited to a pre-functional testing (i.e. testing of the individual components to ensure functionality within the requirements identified in the contract documents). The contractor will not have any responsibility for the PLC and SCADA.

General Overall Phase 1 question Please confirm during Phase 1 that there will be no work in the ECS building despite the many notes to the contrary on the drawings.

Only work that cannot impact the existing ECS can be included in Phase 1.

Predominantly, this work is exterior of ECS building. However, the contractor may identify work fronts that are believed to not have an impact to the existing ECS. The Government will review these work fronts and approval is required prior to start of work.
