| 325 CES | Reference 2.7.3 of the SOW Appendix -A The paragraph says that all spaces and rooms shall have individual temperature control. There are approximately 12 spaces on the concept plan that means you would have to install 12 different system or use VRF system which has not been previously allowed in Air Force buildings. | All new HVAC systems are to be supplied with VAV's as identified on page 70 of the SOW. |

What are the requirements for each room? | The room with redundant cooling is the communications room. This room will require adding a split unit HVAC system.

| 325 CES | Reference 4.0.A Table 1 – Indicates charrette 40 days from NTP, conflicts with 35% design as 40 days also from NTP. Please clarify. | See comment above |

| 325 CES | There’s really nothing much mentioned about comm requirements except references to the UFC. How are you planning to address comm and outside plant? Also, I believe Siemens is required to design/install many low voltage systems, so you’ll want to coordinate all that with them as well. | Comm lines are a requirement and spelled out in the SOW and Appendix A. There is fiber to the existing building. The bidder must provide fiber to and within the new building. The Siemens requirements are spelled out in Appendix-D |

Section L part c in Solicitation indicates project schedule to be presented with proposal. Please clarify. | The project schedule submitted with the proposal will be used for technical evaluation to evaluate the submittee's understanding of the solicitations' requirements. The project schedule that will be submitted by the awardee 5 days after NTP will become the officially approved progress schedule for this contract. |
| 325 CES | This job is calling for a 10year Warranty.. it appears that it may be coming from the 2016 version of the UFGS.. new guidelines requires the general manufacturing warranty of 5 years. I am attaching the most current version of the UFGS. There was actually an amendment that changed this a couple years ago. Please confirm as we can offer a 10 year, but there is money associated with that. | This project is only calling for a one year warranty except for specific equipment such as roofing. |
| 325 CES | The CRI that is called out is 80CRI.. there is an exterior wallpack that is needed to be “turtle rated”. True Amber that meets the correct nanometer range will no way in any shape or form meet an 80CRI.. it simply doesn’t exist. Please confirm if these should be Amber or if they are to meet an 80CRI with a white light source | The 80CRI is a requirement for interior lighting. Amber, turtle-friendly lighting is required for the exterior and need not achieve 80CRI. |
| 325 CES | Where is the Comm connection. Is the connection from an existing manhole/handhole? If so, where is it located? | The Comm Fiber line enters the existing building on the west side at about the mid-point in the wall. It is direct buried and there is no existing manhole/handhole. |
| 325 CES | What is the location of the existing GCEC transformer, or are they installing a new transformer? | GCEC will be providing new. |
| 325 CES | Over 200 days of the 365 have been designed for design leaving only 165 days for construction? Is this the intent of the RFP? | The PoP is extended to 500 days. |
