About this file
This document provides responses to questions regarding three federal contract opportunities for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system upgrades at various Department of the Air Force buildings. The opportunities involve replacing aging UPS equipment at buildings 1844 and 218 at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado and building 401 at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. Site visits were held from February 11-13, 2020 and photographs and drawings of the project locations have been made available to interested vendors through the Beta SAM website upon request. Proposals for the design and installation of the new UPS systems are due by June 2, 2020. If awarded the basic contract, vendors will be eligible for a total of $3,000 in funding to complete the design packages for all three building upgrades. The responses aim to clarify equipment details, existing site conditions, and project requirements for interested vendors to develop responsive proposals.

| 32 | Revised Awardable Task Requirements Document and PCCIE Responses to Questions. | Concerning the questions on the awardable task for Peterson Bldg. 1844. Based on the responses to the questions there seems to be a little confusion between the Requirement document and the responses. It’s understood that there is only one source for both UPS systems and that the site wants new breakers in their SWBB input switchboard. It’s understood that the two UPS systems are to be sort of an “A”/”B” setup where each UPS is separate from each other. It is understood that there will be a Critical Output Panel for “A” and a Critical Output Panel for “B” where “A” will feed all the critical loads and “B” will be for future loads. What is not clear is that there appears to be only one Static Switch that both UPS systems will feed and the output will feed the two new Critical Output Panels. This would mean that one UPS system will never be used unless one UPS system is turned off so the static switch changes to the other system. It doesn’t make sense to have a UPS system in standby feeding a static switch, especially when both UPS system will be fed from the same source. It would make more sense if there was two STSW’s that could feed both output panels so that either UPS system could feed the other output panel but both UPS systems in a normal configuration would feed their respective STSW primary and feed their respective Critical Output Panel. Can PCCIE clarify that they only want one static switch and that it’s understood one UPS system will feed both critical output panels unless a UPS fails and it switches to the other UPS. | The government's intent is to install a traditional "A&B" system within the scope of this awardable task. It is understood that for a true "A&B" system, you need two separate utility feeds where this task only has one feed. Offeror shall design a system that will perform as a true "A&B" system begining at the input feed panel the output panels. The government's intent is a design in which either UPS can feed both panels as a "A&B" configuration. | |||
| 33 | Revised Awardable Task Requirements Document and PCCIE Responses to Questions. | Concerning the questions on the awardable task for Schriever AFB. Bldg. 401. The requirements document states KK and lights to know when it’s safe to transfer which is a manual operated tie system with manual breakers. The discussions during the site survey indicated the site wanted the similar system as they have currently. Which would indicate a motor operated breakers and a control panel that would indicate when it was safe to transfer and do it upon request from the user. The difference in KK and lights and the current system is significantly different. Can PCCIE confirm the site wants a manual operated tie configuration or one similar to what they have where it has motor operated breakers and touch screen controls. | The government's intent is to install an automatic tie system between the two UPS's. A manual tie system is unacceptable. | |||
| 34 | Revised Awardable Task Requirements Document and PCCIE Responses to Questions. | Currently the 4 photographs for Bldg. 1844 do not provide sufficient detail. Whereas, the 114 photographs of Bldg. 401 allowed for an accurate depiction of the existing depictions for duplication and the creation of a significantly detailed design. Could the Government provide room layout or photographs for UPS rooms and battery rooms in Bldg. 1844? | A site walk was advertised on Beta.SAM for all public interested to all vendors to obtain all details for the awardabe task. Was conducted 11 Feb -13 Feb 2020. To assist in contractor proposal the Government has placed the option to obtain all available pictures from awardable task upon request with details within Beta.SAM | |||
| The government's intent is to install an automatic tie system between the two UPS's. A manual tie system is unnaceptable. |
