RFI Bldg 1057 UPS Batteries

Are you able to tell me if there are any delivery restrictions/requirements for building 1057 (will a liftgate and/or inside delivery be required, or is there a receiving dock and/or forklift there)?

1. Will the replacement batteries be installed in existing cabinets or racks?

1. Not sure, I would assume so since it’s a replacement of existing batteries not insulation of a new server.

2. May the batteries be delivered and staged on-site prior to the installation crew’s arrival? If yes, is a secure storage/staging area available?

1. Yes.

1. Yes, we can store them, short term in the heritage room/ hallway besides the room where the work will be done. Not long term storage if it’s going to be more than a couple weeks. Secure from the general population of Creech; Yes. Secure from people in the 15th and 22d; No, but there is no concern of theft or misuses if that is the issue.

1. Doors to work room not big enough for a palate jack.

3. Is the contractor responsible for removing/recycling the existing UPS batteries, or will the Government handle their disposal?

1. Don’t know.

4. What is the approximate distance from the unloading/staging area to the battery room(s)?

1. Depends on where they stage/store. The batteries can be caried on a pallet jack to the door of the room the work will be done in. Then it’s only ~30ft walk. If they store them in the room off the pallet then if would only be about a 10ft walk. If they store it in the hallway next to the work room ~30ft walk.

5. Are there any stairs, elevators, narrow doors, carpeted hallways, or other access restrictions between the unloading area and battery room(s)?

1. No stairs, no elevators. 1 door can get a pallet inside a carpeted hallway that then has a normal sized door that a pallet could not fit through (items can have short term storage in this room; for maybe a couple weeks no more than two). Access to the room that needs work only has standard doorway sizes to access it.

6. Our installer may need to make a second site visit to perform load/capacity testing after installation. Would a second visit be acceptable?

1. Yes, if no payment is required or if payment can wait until next fiscal year or if the Group can pay for it

1. We request we know the price for a site visit before it is done.

7. Please confirm whether load/capacity testing is required in addition to the functionality testing specified in the SOW.

1. I don’t know what the difference is. We are requesting in the SOW for Functionality Testing to make sure it works. If that is part of it, the yes.

1. If there is no loading dock, will someone be available to receive the batteries and allow them to be staged inside prior to installation?

1. There is no loading dock, but the batteries can be offloaded the day of work or maybe a couple weeks prior and brought inside by the off-loaders. People will be available at all hours to receive if they call ahead and the off-loaders provide the bodies needed to offload and stage the equipment/batteries.

2. Is a pallet jack available on-site for contractor use?

1. Not unless you have one.

3. Approximately how far is the UPS room from the unloading/staging location?

1. ~30ft from curbside sidewalk delivery to

1. If it fits every single spec of the original quoted batteries that were needed with absolutely ZERO downsides or characteristic differences.

2. Is there a deadline for the work to be completed?

1. As soon as it is possible. We’ve been trying to get this done for ~12 months now. We will not pay for a rushed deadline, but we want this done at the next available convince.
