CEMACC RFI’S and Responses

1) Are there any LEED requirements for these demonstration projects? Consideration to meet LEED™ Certified 30 – 37 points for Industrial projects UHHZ 160082 and UHHZ 160049 through Mechanical and Electrical energy savings, recycle content and sustainability of materials used, other areas where possible LEED™ point can be utilized, etc.

2) In the future Storage Room at Building 149, is it the intent of the government for the east wall, where we are cutting in the new visitor entrance, to remain exposed PEMB girts and insulation? Yes, and at new door opening. Finishes will have to be replaced to match existing an area around new door.

3) In Building 149, do the CMU walls need to extend to the existing structure above? No, only new wall at new door in the D/U Cell will need to match existing construction and height. Other new CMU walls in Storage/Locker Room, Dry/Wet Respirator Cleaning Rooms will be CMU up to height of existing adjacent CMU with vinyl coated acoustical ceiling tile/grid at 9’-0”.

4) For Building 140, what is the existing type of mechanical system and where is it located? Existing unit located on mezzanine above existing CMM Lab and available for inspection during site visit.

5) In Building 140, can you please release tie in points for water and sewer connections? Tie in will be into the existing lines located in mezzanine area above CMM Lab.

6) Please clarify that moving the existing equipment out and back in to Building 140 is by the government. Only reference to moving is in SOW paragraph 2.B.5 which does not refer to moving equipment out and back into Bldg 140.

7) Pertaining to Building 140, please clarify where to relocate the drinking fountain. As directed by COTR (within 5’-0” +/- of existing location.)

8) SOW paragraph 2.B.3a lists HVAC requirements for North Maintenance Bay, Wet Respirator Cleaning Room, Locker Room, and Storage Room. SOW paragraph 2.B.3.g lists HVAC requirements for DU Cell and Dry Respirator Cleaning Room. Is the paragraph separation intended to mean that two distinct HVAC zones are required even though design temperatures are the same? Yes, two units will be required.

9) Building 149 as-built drawings and photos indicate that there is an existing wall mounted HVAC system in the DU cell. It is the government’s intent to supplement the existing unit or to replace the existing unit? Replace with new unit.

10) At Building 149 there is no mechanical space allotted in the proposed floor plan and SOW paragraph 4.E.4 prohibits roof mounted equipment. Is ground mounted equipment behind the building acceptable or only wall mounted equipment? New units installation to match existing wall mounted unit installation.

11) The SOW for Building 149 makes no mention of domestic hot water requirements. Will the new sinks require hot and cold water or just cold water? Both and a water heater. Contractor’s choice of tank or tankless water heater.

12) Building 149 as-built drawings indicate that existing plumbing fixtures are drained to 5-gallon buckets. Will new plumbing fixtures require piped drainage or more buckets? Refer to SOW paragraph 2.B.3, sixth sentence.

13) For Building 140 please clarify if the CMM machine is being relocated. If so we will have to pop the ceiling up like it is currently. Existing printer identified as 400 mc will need to be relocated into newly renovated space. Do not understand what “pop up the ceiling” means.

14. Attachment 37 (Cross Reference Matrix) appears to have the text at the bottom cut off mid-sentence. Is this the complete attachment? Last sentence was cut off. Will post revision.

15.. Attachment 22 (Robins AFB Roof Requirements) appears to be missing. Has been posted on FBO (19 Jan 17)

16.. Are the existing entries on Attachment 27 (Sample Submittal Register) Robins AFB standard project requirements? No, existing entries are samples. Each project will need to edit Form 66 to reflect that particular project’s requirements.

17.. Are the Division 01 and Closeout document entries on Attachment 15 (Sample SOV Template) a Robins AFB standard? No, only a sample to indicate possible items that may pertain to demonstration projects but will require editing to reflect specific project requirements of each demonstration project.

18. Reference RFP paragraph L-900.A (Page 40 of 50), the 40-page limit for Volume II (Written Technical Proposal) – is it possible to increase the page count? 40 pages will be extremely hard to meet given the need for preliminary designs on the three seed projects. Answer: page limit will be revised to 60 pages. Amendment forthcoming.

19. Reference L-900 Factor 2.2 (Volume III – Cost/Price): states, “All data relating to the proposed price must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Cost/Price Volume and Attachment #16, Demonstration Projects Bid Schedule. Under no circumstances shall this data be included elsewhere in the proposal. If pricing information is included elsewhere in the documentation, the proposal may be deemed unacceptable.” The AF3052s and SOVs for each project included in Volume II will contain cost/price data. Please clarify. Answer: Amendment forthcoming to clarify this issue.

20. Is the extent of Volume III just the RFP attachment 16 – Pricing Sheet? Yes

21 . Reference Project UHHZ 150376 (C17 Shelter at N-27), Paragraph 2.B.1. states “Anchor attachments/points will be into existing concrete airfield paving which is approximately (16”) sixteen inches thick.” For design purposes what is the reinforcement of the airfield paving? Airfield pavement is unreinforced except joints.

22. Question: The statement of work for this project lists some dimensional openings and side sizes for the C17 shelter. A TFS manufacturer has provided a layout that beets these dimensions but is slightly different in the geometric shape. Is the layout in the attachment an acceptable design?

Answer: Proposed layout of TFS shown on page 4 of SOW and dimensions of TFS shown on page 1 of SOW.

23. Can the government please clarify if the 3052 as presented in the solicitation is to be completed inclusive of cost data or will this be modified through amendment to remove this information per the discussion during the preproposal conference.

Answer: Amendment forthcoming to clarify this issue.

24. Will the government allow “dual hatting” between multiple task orders if they are relatively close in proximity? Do not know what this means or your intent on meaning. Define term “dual hatting” and intent.

41. The RFP states on page 44 of 50, under the requirements for Volume III, Cost/Price – “If pricing information is included elsewhere in the documentation, the proposal may be deemed unacceptable.” However, Volume II, Subfactor 1 – Completeness of the Demonstration Projects requires (for each Demonstration Project) completed Attachments 8, 9, 10, and 15. Each of these documents are related to and include pricing information. Answer: Amendment forthcoming to address this issue.

42. Firstly, in accordance with the discussion during the site visit, please confirm that Attachments 8, 9, 10, and 15 are NOT REQUIRED as part of the offeror’s submission for Volume III, Cost/Price. Answer: Amendment forthcoming to address this issue.

Secondly, in accordance with the RFP, page 44 of 50, please confirm that Attachments 8, 9, 10, and 15 are NOT REQUIRED as part of the offeror’s submission for Volume II, Subfactor 1 – Completeness of the Demonstration Projects, since this would entail the inclusion of pricing information elsewhere in the proposal documentation. Answer: Amendment forthcoming to address this issue.

43. The RFP requirements on pages 42-43 of 50 do not include a requirement for completed Attachment 27 – Form 66 Submittal Register for each Demonstration Project. However, Attachments 29, 34, and 36 (Statements of Work for UHHZ 160082, UHHZ 150376, and UHHZ 160049) list Form 66 Submittal Register as a part of the “initial CEMACC submittal package.” Please confirm that Attachment 27 – Form 66 Submittal Register is NOT REQUIRED as part of the offeror’s submission for Volume II, Subfactor 1 – Completeness of the Demonstration Projects. ANSWER: Yes a submittal register is required for each demonstration project. Amendment forthcoming that will make that correction.

44. Within Attachment 36, Statement of Work for UHHZ 160049, Repair/Renovate Room 17 CMM Lab Bldg. 140, page 4 of 13 states that the Contractor will be required to dust sample to test for the possible presence of RCRA metals. If testing does reveal contamination, will further action be required beyond the stated cleaning using wet wiping? In other words, for the purposes of our proposal, is the Contractor to assume that no further remediation of RCRA metals will be required beyond wet wiping? Refer to SOW paragraph 4.G Environmental Considerations.
