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?

Totals (3-year period) 698.25 Annual Sub Totals 232.75 Estimated Cost to Maintain New Bldgs.: Estimated 10% Per Building (2701, 2626 & 2711) for Service Calls and Materials (1-year period)

69.83

Annual Total (Real Property) 302.58

A1: An administrative error omitted earlier data from the spreadsheet back to 6 June 2014. See corrected numbers below. Buildings 2626, 2701 and 2711 service call hours are estimated. Most equipment is under warranty.

Q2: Can you provide the name of the current CMMS used by the incumbent/government? Does the Government have a working copy of the database?

Answer: The incumbent is not currently using a CMMS system.

Q3: Can you provide the most recent Area Wage Determination and let us know if the current workforce is subject a collective Bargaining Agreement and if so, please provide.

A3: WD 2015-4427 Rev 10 12_26_2018 will be posted onto FBO with the Questions and Answers.

Q4: There is no Wage Determination provided with this proposal. Will one be provided?

A4: See A3.

Q5: Reference RFP Past Performance Questionnaire: One of the performance evaluation areas is waterfront maintenance activities to include PM/repairs to wharfs/piers and/or barges/vessels. How is this relevant as there are no maintenance requirements to the piers or barges?

A5: See Appendix A,B & E for list of piers and barges containing equipment requiring waterfront maintenance activities such as PM/repairs.

Q6: Reference RFP FAR Clause 52.219-4: Please confirm that non-HUBZone Small Business Concerns will be evaluated by adding a factor of 10 percent to the price of their offer.

A: This clausee does not apply, this is a Total Small Business Set-Aside solication. The clause would only be applicable if this was an unrestricted solication and the top two evaluated proposals were from a large business and a Hubzone.

Q7: Reference PWS Paragraph 1: Please confirm that the maintenance of the actual piers is a Government responsibility

A7: Structural Pier is government responsibility. All other equipment on piers or associated to the pier is contractor responsibility such as water lines, backflow preventers etc. See Appendix A, B & E. See paragraph 2.0

Q8: Reference PWS Paragraph 1: Please confirm that the maintenance of the actual barges is a Government responsibility.

Q14: Reference PWS Appendix E: Are the requirements for buildings 2626, 2701, and 2711 part of the current contract?

A14: Yes, added to existing contract 1 August 2018. Period of Performance for B2711 has not started.

Q15: Reference PWS Appendix G: There seem to be 2 different documents associated with Appendix G.

Please clarify.

A15: Appendix G is “Points of Demarcation” and appears to be self-explanatory.

Q16: Reference PWS Appendix G – Historical Workload Data (continuation): This Appendix seems to be the same as the information released in the 2013 solicitation, and has no information associated with buildings 2626, 2701 or 2711. Please verify.

A16: 2626, 2701, have no historical data. Facility are under warranty through 31 March 2019. 2711 warranty period will depend on date building accepted by the government. These facilities were built in 2018.

Q28: Is the incumbent eligible to bid on this contract?

A28: Yes

Q29: This is a SCA covered contract can you provide the length of service for all incumbent employees?

A29: Information per employee is unavailable at CONS. Please contact the incumbant contractor for employee specific information. The intent is to have as many employees work the entire length of the contract. The reduction of turnover rates would reduce any set backs with security in this highly secured area.

Q31: PWS 2.0 Under section 2.0.b(1) HPAC/LPAC (High Pressure Air Compressors/Low Pressure Air Compressors are included. For the HPAC units, does this include only the compressor or does the requirement also include the purifier assembly? The model number provided indicates only the compressor.

A31: The purifier assembly is integral to the unit. The compressor and all internal parts are covered under this requirement. These are the Bauer units listed under the non-real property appendix.

Q32: PWS 2.0 Under section 2.0.b(1) HPAC/LPAC (High Pressure Air Compressors/Low Pressure Air Compressors are included. For the HPAC units, does this include only the compressor or does the requirement also include the purifier assembly? The model number provided indicates only the compressor.

A32: The non-real property appendix has the Bauer HPAC’s listed as self-enclosed units. The LPAC air purifiers are listed separately and are part of the LPAC system. They are external to the units.

Q33: PWS 2.0 Item 29 under Real Property includes 9 Security Posts and associated support equipment are included but window units are specifically excluded. Appendix B states that window units are included. Are window units included? What other support equipment other than window units is to be included?

A33: Item 29 is an example of the dispersion of work. The majority of the Security Posts have RPIE split-unit HVAC systems. The window unit at Post 9 is on Appendix B, Non-Real Property.

Q34: PWS 2.1.2.2 this section states that the contractor is to notify the COR and NPTU COR when fuel levels fall below 80%, and prior to transferring/adding fuel. Is it the contractor's responsibility to transfer or add fuel? Is the fuel transferred/added government provided or does the contractor provide the fuel?

A34: Contractor is to notify COR or NPTU COR. The site will transfer fuel, and have filled when required.

Q35: PWS 2.1.2.3 Are the existing transfer switches open transition or closed transition switches? Is normal operation of these transfer switches considered and interruption of Government business and to be scheduled after hours?

A35: These functions should be completed during normal business hours. See paragraph 2.1.2.3 for coordination details.

Q36: Is the general condition of the existing equipment to be considered no less than average condition?

A36: Yes it is to be considered in average or better condition. 3 of the facilities were built in 2018. 2711 has not been turned over to the government as of today’s date 31 Jan. 2019

Q37: PWS 1.2.1 The Standards section states that the Preventative Maintenance, Inspections, and repairs are to be performed at a standard consistent with Industry Best Practices and manufacturer's recommendations. As these are training buildings, are general industry standards applicable, or are any special requirements imposed by any third party occupants or their inspectors?

A37: AF real property sustainment standard applies. See 1.2.1

Q38: PWS 1.2.1 please confirm that these buildings and their systems are subject to "normal wear and tear" as stated in this section.

A38: Yes

Q39: PWS 2.2.3 this section refers to a system pressure boundary integrity test/inspection. This test/inspection is generally performed on a pressurized water nuclear reactor. Please provide more information on the system subject to this test/inspection

A39: Pressure boundary integrity test /inspections are listed as one example of possible tests required by maintenance or repair standards and manufacture’s recommendations. No nuclear systems or components are contained in the scope of contract.

Q40: PWS 2.3.5 if the contractor's CMMC system is restricted on the Government owned computer network, can the contractor utilize his own laptop/tablet computers and WIFI internet connection?

A40: Wi-Fi is not site permissible. CMMS laptop/tablets and or computers will require approval from the IT department prior to being brought on the site.

Q41: PWS 2.3.5 please note that most current CMMS software are not available for purchase by the contractor. They are made available by subscription and require continuous internet connectivity to function effectively. Please advise what amount of bandwidth and the connection speed available on site. Also is it acceptable to install leased software on the government network?

A41: Standard COTS CMMS software are commercially available for purchase to contractors. NPTU IT Department will have to approve any computers or software being brought on site.

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.

Q51: PWS 2.0 (30) Item 30 under Real Property facilities indicates that the contractor is responsible for Roof Leaks. Please advise us of the type of roof systems involved, their ages, and general conditions

A51: 2626, 2701 and 2711 are new facilities built in 2018. 2314 roof replaced 2009. 3544, 3546 roof replacement 2016. No data available for 339.

Q52: PWS 5.1 Please confirm that the hours of operation of this facility are as stated in this section of the PWS and that standard maintenance frequencies are sufficient to maintain the facilities and equipment in the desired condition.

A52: Base hours of operation and Government regular hours of operation are to be considered the same. The site operates 24/7/365 with greatest occupancy during base hours of operation. NPTU Work Controls support outside base hours is not guaranteed.

Q53: Appendix G Please provide a drawing showing the existing utilities on piers X-Ray North, X-Ray South and the North Extension for which the contractor is responsible for. Also provide a copy of the latest condition report along with any known deficiencies in those utility lines.

A53: Drawings showing utilities throughout site are available to winning bidder on site. These drawings are held by the site engineering staff.

Q54: PWS 2.0 (20) Have there been any failures of the existing sub-slab sewer pipes? (This refers to the pipes inside the point of demarcation that the new contractor will be responsible for)

A54: One failure repaired in the Subway restaurant 5 years ago. The drain line was deteriorated and was in need of replacement. Government paid for all repairs above the $500.00 LOL.

Q55: PWS (30) the new BOS contractor is responsible for repairs to the existing VCT floors. Is there any asbestos containing material in the existing flooring material or the mastic? Have all areas been tested.

A55: All repairs of this type are processed through site safety. They do an examination for asbestos and any other pertinent materials. There has been no asbestos found on the site during this contractual period. See paragraph 2.1.2.6

Q56: Appendix B: Generator #1 and #2 located at Bldg. 339 are noted as portable. The model number given is for a stationary generator. Is this a standard Cat D125-6 or some non-standard installation? If non-standard, please provide detailed technical information

A56: The units listed are correct. They are mounted on trailers so they may be brought to site when needed.

Q57: PWS 2.0 (21) Is the contractor responsible only for the physical maintenance of the eye wash and safety showers or are they also responsible for the OSHA compliance inspections?

A57: PM and repair of said items. In accordance with site safety OSHA standards.

Q58: PWS 2.0 b (4): Please provide information on the quantity, size, configuration, location, and details of the Shelterworx Storage Containers.

A58: No information available at this time

Q59: PWS 2.0 b (5): Please provide the quantity, sizes, characteristics, and location of the lockers. Do they have built in locks or are the locks provided by others?

A59: See sec 2.1.2.7

Q60: PWS 2.1.1 The inspections are to be performed by personnel with experience commensurate with the attributes being inspected. Please provide the desired level of qualification. Does the Foundation and structural inspector need to be a professional structural engineer or a general maintenance mechanic? What qualification are desired for the General Safety inspector?

A60: No professional credentials required. Onsite Project Manager is expected to make appropriate decision regarding work assignments and personnel training and qualifications.

Q61: PWS 1.2.1 Please provide a copy of the OMSI manual

A61: OMSI manual that are appropriate for the preventive maintenance requirements of the PWS are being loaded on to a site that all bidders will have access.

A62: These are fixed units mounted on trailers for ready access to bring on site when needed. Units listed are the correct units.

Q63: PWS 1.2.1 If there is a conflict between the manufacturer's operations and maintenance manual, the OMSI manual, and the NPTU Contractor's Special Conditions, which document governs?

A63: See PWS section 1.2.1, last sentence of first paragraph.

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.

A66: Contractor not responsible for repair costs over the Limit of liability. Contractor’s proposed repair parts mark-up should be competitive and independent of total repair costs.

A76: Taken from the previous Notice to Unsuccessful “The award will be made to Bacik Group LLC, 602 Oak Mountain Commons Lane, Pelham, AL 35124 valued at $1,603,676.” Please keep in mind, the PWS has had an increase in scope, and this contract is antisipated to be a C type contract. Please propose based on the PWS associated with this solication.

Q77: What has been added to the PWS and what requirements have been added since the previous contract?

A77: See question 16.

Q78: What building and equipment still has warranties and what are the expiration dates?

A78: 2701 and 2626 warranty period ends on 1 April 2019. 2711 has not been accepted at this time.

Date scheduled for that is 15 February 2019 but may be later. Warranty will expire one year from that date.

Q79: Reference the PWS page 6,Section 2.1.1 . Please provide an explanation for the statement below?

Does each building get 20% or is it 20% of the total?

A79: 20% of the total quantity of facilities requiring inspection are to be completed each year. For example: Base year – 3544, & 3546, Option Year 1 – 2314, Option Year 2 – 2626 & 339, Option Year 3 – 2701, Option Year 4 – 2711.

Q80: The contractor shall prepare and submit a facility inspection schedule to the COR for acceptance.

A81: Appendix F will be uploaded to FBO. This checklist is only an example for context of the PWS minimum requirements

Q82: Reference the Pricing Page – 6 month and 12 month quantities – does that imply all inspections are to be completed with those frequencies (possibly different than Manufactures Recommendations)?

A82: The Base Year is only six months long and the Option Years are 12 months each.

Q83: Concerning Water cooled chillers – is head removal and brushing tubes included annually or as needed?

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.
