RFI 161-166

1. The following RFIs are offered and incorporated in the subject solicitation as follows:

RFI 161: SEED B – WWYK070244, B2122

Is the existing man door located between column 42 and 43 currently rated?

RFI Response:

There are two dorrs between column lines 42 and 43. The door on the north side is labeled as a 45 minute door. The door on the south side is not a rated door.

RFI 162: SEED A – WWYK07088, B3001

The existing break room shares a wall with existing electrical rooms containing high voltage transformers. Is the currently shared wall rated for fire separation? If not, is it the intent of Tinker AFB that it be rated?

RFI Response:

The Government’s requirement is for a code compliant breakroom. The existing wall shared by the breakroom and electrical area is constructed of metal studs with 5/8” gyp on either side. The Contractor shall use this information to determine if the wall is required to be fire rated.

RFI 163: SEED A – WWYK07088, B3001

Currently a metal cage with door is constructed at the platform steps which will be considered the second egress from the break room. An existing exit sign is currently directing egress from the platform into the break room. The platform is outside of the scope. The directional exit sign can no longer direct egress through the break room after it is enclosed due to the fact that the break room will be egressing onto the platform. An exit light must be installed over the stairs to direct egress from the platform. Shall the new egress light be included in this project even though it is not currently shown in the scope of work?

RFI Response:

The Government provided a 15% level statement of work which requires the Contractor to complete the design per the codes cited in paragraph 1.1.5 of the Statement of Work for this seed project.

RFI 164: CONTRACTING

At the site visit, it was mentioned that all questions are due no later than 18 November 2009. Will any other questions be considered after that time?

RFI Response:

Questions may be submitted any time until closing; however, the Government requests that all questions be submitted no later than 25 November 09.

RFI 165: CONTRACTING

If there are changes to a proposal that would affect content and page numbers from the Table of Contents all the way through one of the volumes, is it possible to send replacement volumes instead of requesting 90 percent of the pages removed and replaced?

RFI Response:

Yes, you may send replacement volumes. Please note that any changes can be made to proposals until the proposal close date and time. As noted in Amendment 0008, “the Contractor shall submit information highlighting any proposal changes, and include the location of changes or modifications within the amended proposal.”

RFI 166: CONTRACTING

Do Amendments 0007 and 0008 open the solicitation to new offerors that did not submit at the original due date?

RFI Response:

Yes. When the Amendments were issued, the solicitation opened for changes to current proposals as well as new offerors that did not submit at the original due date.

2. Any further question may be referred to the undersigned at 405-739-4189 or email at sharla.flowers@tinker.af.mil OR janice.hammonds@tinker.af.mil.
