3. Question: Power and data on ceiling connection, do we have to re-wire everything or is this a disconnect then connect the new ones only? Because re-wiring them would require removal of the ceiling as well. If disconnect and connect only, can the source be marked on the layout for power pole location so that we can design accordingly where to put the poles.

Reference:

Answer: Existing power connections will have to be located and either reused or will have to be redirected to desired drop downs or up through floor to new layout and cubicle connections.

4. Reference: Will there be a room or location for the new sets of furniture to be stored or staged prior to installation? Or after the demolition of current setup, the rooms that are going to be for installation be available for that purpose?

Answer: installation will be in phases. There is no interior room for storage of “next phase material. There is parking for multiple trailers near the dock if desired or vendor can use local storage facility if desired.

Question: Does the location have dock? How far is the delivery location to the building/site? How many stairs leading to the building from the delivery location?

Reference:

Answer: The site has a 2 trailer dock with a manual leveling ramp for use of pallet jacks.

Initial phase site is 75’ from the dock. No stairs.

5. Reference: What floor of the building are the rooms located. If above ground, is there a service elevator that can be utilized?

Answer: The rooms are located on the first floor.

6. Question: Is the 3 phases of the project for removal and install time frame? What is the given time frame for each phase? Is this a remove and install per phase, or removal of current furniture can be done all at once and then installation in 3 phases?

Can site visit be done after award? Measurements especially for the floor to ceiling walls is required.

Site visit after award is fully expected. We require detailed plans before vendor purchases product. Complete remove and install for each phase. Due to the number of displaced personnel each phase must be completed before next can proceed. Phase timeframe can be coordinated between Vendor and govt based on crew size and speed.

i.e for example: 1 week for demo, 1 week for frames erection, 1 week for (govt ) LAN install, 1 week for panels and desks. 1 week for move in and to ensure functionality before next phase begins. Another possibility is treating each phase as order material as separate “jobs” i.e. phase 1 starts 1 Mar, phase 2 starts 1 May, phase 3 1 July.

Some level of work is expected to performed simultaneously.

5. MOC cubicle replacement must be carefully orchestrated during construction to allow for continuous Space Launch operations. Customer will cooperate to alter their mission support patterns and seating, but MOC must always be able to support launch operations. The demolition/install is broken down into 3 sequential phases.

Coordination between vendor and purchaser and the pace of launch operations at the time of install will determine if any alteration can be made to mutually improve the demo/install process. Each preceding phase or sub-phase must be fully operational before the next phase can begin. Customer will make every effort to facilitate performing “prep” work for other phases on a non-interference basis to expedite the installation. Prep work includes items such as new power lines/conduits, wall or ceiling mount installation, running new CAT 6A or fiber comm lines etc.
