DE-SOL-0011580 Amend 00001 This attachment is all the questions received by the deadline 08/16/2017 see responses below and additional photos attachment Question:

One other question is about erection (field assembly, oil filling, and testing) of the transformer.

As specified under Section 3.2 from Attachment 1 (Transformer Specifications), it is our understanding that this scope will be handled either by the Owner (WAPA) or its authorized field representative in charge of the erection and assembly of the equipment, not the bidder/contractor. Please confirm.

Answer:

Yes, the erecting engineer supplied by the transformer contractor will supervise and direct the assembly, oil filling and testing of the transformer. However, WAPA personnel or an authorized contractor designated to conduct the substation construction at Folsom, will be responsible for the actual hands-on work required to prepare the transformer for operation.

Question:

Do you accept Quotes submittal electronically by email? If hard copy submittal is required, please provide the mailing/street address of recipient office.

Answer:

Please submit all Quotes as stated in the solicitation.

Question:

Can you tell me this should be an auto transformer or a 3-winding transformer?

The HV to LV along with the impedance level would leave an indication that this should be an auto, but we would like to confirm. If you can find out that would be great.

Answer:

This design decision is up to the manufacturers so that they could choose what would work best for the specified transformer ratings. An auto transformer or a three winding transformer would be acceptable.

Question:

We have a clarification request on this tender. Can you have engineering provide the following information on this tender?

- Nameplate information of the existing TRX unit.

- Pictures of existing unit & location.

Answer:

Yes the photos are attached to the FBO.gov Posting See additional attachment on the solicitation Amendment. File name is listed as DE-SOL0011580 Photos and Nameplate.pdf
