NAVY ECP/CVIS Q&A

FA301620B0014

25AUG2020

1. Are there any requirements for data/communications conduits or low voltage wiring for this project? If so, please identify specific scope requirements. None required in project.

2. Statement of Work Paragraph 1.2.7 mentions a rolling lane gate at the ACP Guard Shack. Please confirm this gate is only manually operated and no motorized requirement? See item 3 below.

3. Does the scope of work include providing and installing the rolling lane gate at the ACP Guard Shack? If so, please provide size required. No. The rolling gate is existing, it was recently replaced by the using agency along with the fence.

4. Statement of Work Paragraph 1.2.5 mentions LED type adjustable post inspection lighting fixtures. Are the external inspection post lights "physically adjustable"? Do these need to be adjustable in terms of the aiming direction, or will stationary flood lights be sufficient? Stationary flood lights can be furnished as long as the fixtures provide the required uniform lighting coverage for the purpose intended. We don’t anticipate any immediate change in the aiming of the fixtures after the project is completed.

5. Can the government provide a basis of design light for the LED type adjustable post inspection lights? No. See also item 4 above.

6. Statement of Work paragraph 1.2.9 states that the contractor is to make site preparations to include electrical power for two solar-powered pop-up barriers. It states that the location of these will be made known during the design phase. In order to accurately price the electrical service, we will need to know an approximate location during the bid phase. Please advise where these will be located? See attached electrical location drawing for PoP-Up Barriers.

7. Does the Guard Shack contain a pre-installed electrical panel, and are the receptacles and HVAC unit within the shack pre-wired? Yes. See attached Vendor’s Drawings.

8. What is the required voltage and ampacity for the power supply to the Guard Shack?

Voltage: 120/240 Volts Capacity: 100 amps

9. Does the Overwatch Tower contain a pre-installed electrical panel, and are the receptacles and HVAC unit within the tower pre-wired? Yes. See attached Vendor’s Drawings.

10. What is the required voltage and ampacity for the power supply to the Overwatch Tower?

Voltage: 120/240 Volts Capacity: 100 amps

11. Is there a conduit that runs from the electrical panel at the existing light pole back to the panel next to the utility transformer? If so, what is the diameter of the conduit? Yes. It is a 1”C which has conductors. This conduit (circuit) most likely will be too small for ECP/CVIS combined total load and not be adequate for reuse, because of distance and voltage drop requirements.

12. Is it acceptable to provide all electrical power from the existing panel located next to the utility transformer? This would have to be carefully studied by the DOR and determination made during the design. Yes, consideration should be given to securing power from the existing 120/208 volt MDP Panelboard located approximately 40” south of the existing concrete TTS pad. This panelboard is powered from a 225 KVA 120/208 volts that is owned and maintained by CPS Energy. See attached photos.

13. Please provide the following information for the existing electrical power source at the base of the existing light pole (shown in the virtual site visit video):

· Voltage 480 volts

· Ampacity (amps) cables unmarked, appears to be 2 # 8 cables

· Existing electrical load: Unknown, cables not connected at both ends

· Available spare load capacity Unknown

14. Please provide the following information for the existing electrical panel next to the existing utility transformer (shown in the virtual site visit video)? .

· Voltage: 120/208 volts

· Ampacity (amps) 600 amps

· Existing electrical load: Unknown

· Available spare load capacity Unknown

· Quantity of available spare circuit breaker spaces: See attached photos of the panel

15. The location of the ACP Guard Shack and outbound lane appears from the site visit video that it will require removal of parts of two existing fences. Removal of fence is not mentioned in the Statement of Work. Please confirm what is required with regards to demo of the existing fences. Since the video was taken the existing fence has been removed and replaced with a new fence by another vendor. There is an approximately a 48’ opening that has a new manually operated sliding gate. There is now approximately 29’ available for the construction of two inboard lanes which each require a 12’ width and a remaining space of 14’ for the single outboard line which also requires 12’ width. See attached photos of the fence.

16. Please confirm that providing and installing the 30’ x 90’ shade canopy is included in the contract? Yes this shade canopy is included in the contract.

17. Statement of Work Section 1.2.6 states the Over-Watch Tower will be provided by others under a separate Navy contract. It states that the Navy selected vendor will deliver, mount, and anchor the Over-Watch Tower onto the new concrete foundation and then our team is responsible to make the Over-Watch Tower operative. Can the government please provide the schedule duration that the government contractor will need to install the Over-Watch Tower so we are aware of the amount of time to include in our schedule? The contractor (Vendor) will need approximately 3 weeks to install the Over-Watch Tower.

18. Statement of Work Section 1.2.6 states the Over-Watch Tower will be provided by others and that the contractor will be furnished with drawings/specifications on the Over-Watch Tower. Under our contract, we are required to price a concrete pad for the Over-Watch Tower which would require understanding the design requirements based on weight/loading of the tower to sufficiently price the foundation. Please provide the drawings/specifications for the Over-Watch Tower. See Vendor’s Drawings/Specifications for the Over-Watch Tower attached.

19. Statement of Work Section 1.2.7 states the Access Control Point Guard shack shall be provided by others on a separate Navy contract and that the contractor will be provided drawings/specifications on the ACP Guard Shack. We are required to price a concrete pad for the ACP Guard Shack which would require understanding the design requirements based on weight/loading of the tower to sufficiently price the foundation. Please provide the drawings/specifications for the ACP Guard Shack. See Vendor’ s Drawings/Specifications for the ACP Guard Shack attached.

20. Using panel MDP to feed the Watch Tower, the CVIS, the ACP Guard Shack, and the solar barriers will be expensive due to the cost of the circuit breakers for that particular panel. Is purchasing one breaker to feed a new sub-panel, then using the sub-panel to feed the various locations for this project an acceptable alternative? The answer is Yes,if we are referring to the MDP panel located approximately 40” south of the TTS concrete pad. As long as it meet the NEC and UFC requirements, this electrical design approach should be an acceptable option to be included in the Design.

21. If the new sub-panel is acceptable, can the sub-panel be placed on the same rack as the watch tower disconnect? Yes see item 20 above.

22. If the new sub-panel can be place on the same rack as the watch tower disconnect, can a breaker in the panel be used as the disconnecting means for the watch tower in lieu of the disconnect? Yes. See item 20 above.
