Questions for FTQW 19‐0504 CHPP Electrical Phase B, FA500422B0008;

1. What is the procedure to gain access to the work areas each day?

Answer: The Contractor will be provided with a Visitor Entry List that they will fill out and return to CES. This list will request personnel name, birthday, last 4 of SSN, State/DL #, and Days/Time for Entry. CES will then approve and sponsor these individuals and pass the visitor list to Security Forces.

Once the visitor list is with SFS, contractors will have access to base. CES will also pass this list to the Power Plant so CHPP security personnel can grant entry to Contractor personnel through the man door security entry way.

2. Is material and tool storage allowed inside the work areas?

Answer: Yes, but space is limited due to other projects currently taking place at the CHPP. The Contractor will need to coordinate with the CHPP to ensure storage is not impacting plans operations and maintenance.

3. Please provide the location of acceptable temporary contractor office, material storage, and laydown areas?

6. Are any areas within the CHPP considered explosive zones—I believe that some of this plant is considered Explosive and requires intrinsically safe equipment and controls, will this project affect any of these locations and if so what precautions will be required to work in these areas if any?

Answer: Care needs to be taken throughout the entire CHPP. Hot permit and fire watch is required for any cutting or grinding. Work done in the bunker room needs intrinsically safe equipment. Areas are not explicitly considered “explosive zones” but there are hot pipes and hazards throughout the plant that require attention to detail and mindfulness of safety precautions.
