Is this QC plan site specific to Bldg. 100 or will it be for all trades of work that could be encountered during the duration of the contract? If its for the entire SABER program would the government consider removing the page counts for the QC plan?		The QC plan is for the basic SABER contract and can be an abbreviated plan addressing only the 6 items outlined in Basic SOW section 8.2. Additional plans will be specific to the task order project if specialty or other trades are used and a QC plan for that trade has not been submitted. Volume II page limit will be increased to 100 pages, excluding Seed Project Material Submittals.
	2	15.4.2	Design Solution- Drawings with proposal.
"The contractor shall provide, as part of the proposal, a basic design solution in narrative format or drawings."	Please clarify if the Contractor is required to provide 35% conceptual drawings with each task order proposal.		Unless otherwise stated in a task order level SOW, all projects will require a design solution in narrative format and/or drawings. Drawings included with the proposal must be thorough enough to allow the Government to determine the Contractor has a complete understanding of the project scope. Generally a 35% conceptual drawing is sufficient, but some projects may require additional detail to ensure the contractor has a complete understanding of the project scope. Drawings are preferred as they may also be used as an initial review of the construction/shop drawing(s) that are required for all projects. Additional FOPR submission information can be found in section 15.4.4 of the Basic SOW
	3	5. Management Plan	The requirements state "The plan shall have a cover sheet that includes the solicitation number, subsequent contract number, Contractor name, address and business phone number.

62	3.8 Communications Room	Comm Racks	Is the rack moving from its current location?		Under direction of contracting/CE we have realized this issue. The new plan will be keep the rack in place, you will not pull back the cable and pull it through a conduit, install the fiber (see instrutions when mentioning service loop on fiber), and continue with plan to remove backboard, 66 blocks, an install 25 pair to 24 port patch panel.

Test and label new 24 strand fiber and provide results to SCXP PM (Michael Tagliaferro).
66	Communications Room Existing Cable	Cabling	If re-cabling happens, how is this going to take place? Is it the intent to pull all the new cables and install a new rack then do a cut over after it is all completed?		Under direction of contracting/CE we have realized this issue. The new plan will be keep the rack in place, you will not pull back the cable and pull it through a conduit, install the fiber (see instrutions when mentioning service loop on fiber), and continue with plan to remove backboard, 66 blocks, an install 25 pair to 24 port patch panel. Test and label new 24 strand fiber and provide results to SCXP PM (Michael Tagliaferro).

Is it required to coordinate irrigation work with American Water?		Work downstream of the irrigation shutoff valve or backflow preventer does not need to be coordinated with AW. If a new irrigation point of connection to the water main is needed, then yes, AW needs to be involved.
84	4.12, c- Canopies-Electrical	The contractor shall provide and install complete heat tape systems on the canopies and within rain gutters and down spouts	Does the Government want the Heat Tape tied into EMCS?		Yes. In Accordance With (IAW) Base Facility Design Standards (BFDS).

During the site walk we noticed that the Red Stake indicates a water line running in the sidewalk near the same location as the new steam line vault. What is our minimum clearance to this line vertically and horizontally?		A steam vault cannot be placed on top of a water main running in the same direction. If they cross, then there needs to be 2-ft of vertical separation. The horizontal separation needs to be at one-to-one slope plus one foot from the bottom of the water line to the bottom of the steam vault so that AW can excavate to access the water line without compromising the integrity of the steam vault. I.e. if the water line is 5 feet deep to the bottom, and the steam vault is 3 feet deep to the bottom. Then the separation needs to be 3 feet (1:1 for 2 feet plus 1 foot).
89	4.8 PRE-CAST VAULT	a) The contractor shall install pre-cast concrete vaults as indicated in figure #10 and site visit.

During this site walk we noticed that the Red Stake indicated a power line running parallel to the sidewalk near the new steam vault location. What is our minimum clearance on this line?		The clearance needs to be 10 feet to allow for proper heat dissipation from the steam line to the soil so that it doesn’t reduce ampacity in that section of line.
90	4.8 PRE-CAST VAULT	a) The contractor shall install pre-cast concrete vaults as indicated in figure #10 and site visit.
