Q1: Excel spreadsheet: C_-_Service_Call_Data_-_Real Property: We noted that the 'cover' sheet had a calculation at the bottom which indicated a total for 3 years of 698.25 hours of work (noted below). The period for the work orders listed is 5/25/2016 thru 6/9/2017, just a few days over one year. The total indicates that the average per year of 302.58 hours. Also the cost to maintain each new building (2626, 2701 and 2711) would be 69.83 hours (10% * 3 * 232.75). Are these numbers realistic since a preponderance of the total year's work was performed at 2314, a building similar in size to the three new buildings in slightly over one year?

Q42: PWS 2.4.3 if labor is not allowed to be included in the repair quotes, how will repair to proprietary equipment be handled? Repairs to the magnetic levitation chillers or digital equipment controls may require manufacturer's technicians with special training. Is the contractor responsible for these costs or can they be included in the estimated cost of the repair?

A42: Read 2.4.3. Allowance for labor is at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Examples of situations where labor may be justified are listed.

Q43: NPTU Contractor Special Conditions, Section 2 calls for a "high standard of excellence for execution of the work". The PWS calls for work compliant with the manufacturer's recommendations for equipment subject to normal wear and tear. These are not consistent requirements. Which governs -the high standard of excellence or the manufacturer's standard based on normal wear and tear?

A43: The Government disagrees with this assessment. A “high standard of excellence for execution of the work” relates to a robust work controls process, which is governed by the Contractor Special Conditions. The manufacture’s recommendations standard applies to the technical quality and quantity of maintenance effort applied by the contractor to achieve the desired performance-based result of safe and reliable equipment operation as specified in the PWS.

Q44: NPTU Contr Spec Cond: Please provide a copy of the NPTU High Risk Work Program referred to in the Contractor's Special Conditions.

A44: The High Risk Work program is a concept rather than specifics. The point of the program as clearly defined in the Contractor Special Conditions, is to identify activities that can have an immediate danger to life, safety, or health, and provides risk mitigation strategies that are clearly defined, if not already covered, in a supplemental safety plan.

Q45: NPTU Contr Spec Cond: Please provide a copy of the local lockout and tag out instructions to contractors called out in section 5.a).

A45: Disregard this section, NPTU is changing their site requirements and expect the contractor to follow their in-house LOTO program after providing to NPTU for concurrence.

Q46: NPTU Contr Spec Cond: Please provide the site specific qualification for the manipulation of breakers called out in section 5)e)ii). Please include the site specific definition of electrically qualified people.

A46: Personnel who operate breakers should have electrical training and proper PPE. This qualification should be industry standard for meeting arc flash requirements and should be a part of a company electrical worker program. Expectation is that personnel are qualified to the industry standard to work on electrical equipment, and the requirements should be clearly defined by a company program and/or specific training.

Q47: PWS 2.4.3 what contractor's warranty period is expected on repair quotes?

A47: See paragraph 1.2.5

Q48: PWS 1.2.2 Management - This section requires that the Contractor's Project Manager be present on site during all normal business hours of operation. No provision is made for an alternate. Must the PM be constantly present?

A48: Provisions for an alternate due to illness or vacation will be negotiated after award.

Q49: PWS 2.0.a(13) Please provide detailed technical information on the HVAC Direct Digital Control System including no less than the manufacturer, model, a list of equipment covered and control points, software version, and hardware included in the system.

A49: The Building Automation System (BAS) is a Johnson Controls system and includes one server, located in building 2701 and a computer operator workstation for each building which are all networked together. For building 2626, the VRF thermostats can be controlled locally, through the VRF controller or on the BAS. Thermostats for the ceiling cassette split systems are controlled locally. The BAS has limited control of equipment in building 2626 and is used mainly for monitoring. In building 2701 and 2711, thermostats have local space setpoint control between 68°F and 75°F. The lighting system provides occupancy sensor input into the BAS via a gateway that allows the rooms that are unoccupied to setback their space temperature setpoints and reduces airflow to save energy. The BAS has limited control of computer room units in building 2701 and 2711, and is used mainly for monitoring. The building operates 24/7, but has the ability to set unoccupied modes for all equipment.

Q50: Pre-Bid Comments: It was stated in the pre-proposal conference that we would be responsible for preventative maintenance and repairs to the electrical and plumbing systems on the barges. Only HVAC equipment was listed on the no real property equipment list. Is the contractor responsible for the plumbing and electrical systems on the barges?

A50: No PM required to structural, electrical or plumbing of Barges and trailers. Contractor may be requested to submit quotes for repairs over the LOL requested by NPTU to the COR.

Q64: General: Are there any site specific conditions or requirements which will require increased frequency of maintenance activities or additional tasks beyond the manufacturer's standard recommendations?

A64: See PWS sections 1.2.1, 2.1.2 and 2.1.3

Q65: Service calls - Will the Government provide an estimated annual quantity of service calls for Bldg.s 2626, 2701 and 2711? Providing a quantity will allow all contracts to propose on the same data.

A65: Currently, service calls only apply to B2626 and B2701. Building 2701 has not been accepted by the Government yet. Service calls to these facilities have been minimal for the facility maintenance contractor as the warranty period is still in force. Warranty calls are referred to general contractor for construction for response.

Q66: Pricing Worksheet: Repair Parts Cost Mark Up: Please provide an estimated annual amount for repair costs above the limit of liability (i.e. $500,000) based on historical data.

A83: Chiller’s are to be maintained as per manufacture specifications and requirements.

Q84: Are building controls included in this requirement?

A84: Yes they are included in the requirement.

Q85: The revised solicitation has a price sheet on pages 3 to 6. There is also an attachment entitled in part “Pricing Worksheet.” It appears that the worksheet is to provide detail that is not on the price sheet in the solicitation, but there are some inconsistencies. For example, in the solicitation, CLINs 0003, 0004, and 0006 all have quantities of 1, but in the worksheet, they have quantities of 6. Similarly, in the solicitation, CLINs 0007 and 0008 have quantities of 1 while on the worksheet, they have no quantities listed. How is the offeror to use the Pricing Worksheet? Why the quantities differ? Please clarify.

A85: Please utlize the sperate pricing worksheet provided. Each substation shall be priced seperatly. The unit of measure is in Months, the base period is for 6 months options are 12 months, the inspections and PM is 1 Each.

Q86: The revised solicitation, under instruction to offerors for the proposal, appears to make no mention of a past performance questionnaire.
