Questions and Answers

26 Jun 08-7 Jul 08 Question 1: We need the location of the transformer that SAFB wants us to tap from (12,470V primary). We are assuming there is a transformer with an open loop feed in the area from which we'll get the incoming service. If not, we'll need to know what SAFB Utilities would like us to do specifically. Our plans are to provide a pad mounted 75KVA transformer on the site which will serve this facility.

Answer: Assume a new transformer sized for the facility and a 100’ run to a dead front sectionalizing cabinet.

Question 2: Based on DOD requirements and standard practice you are asking each bidder to perform a physical and topographic survey of the site before the proposal date. The drawings provided by the RFP are incomplete.

Answer: The previously provided information is all that is available.

Question 3: They have no utilities indicated. The RFP does not provide the water pressure for the fire suppression system. There are no borings in the site location with an accompanying geotechnical engineering report so the foundation is a guess.

Answer: As stated in the RFP, this is a “notional design”. Assume 250 psi soil bearing capacity.

Question 4: Is it possible to submit examples of other DOD projects examples and the 35% for this project and meet the intent and purpose of your evaluation?

Answer: No this is not possible.
