Amendment No. 2 – Solicitation No. GS-07-P-17-HT-C-0001 for HVAC Replacements at Gateway and Los Indios LPOEs

This amendment is issued to provide the Pre-Proposal Sign-In Sheet, a revised Scope of Work dated 01/19/2017, revised C101-SAT_GC_Agreement, and to respond to questions.

1. Must the HVAC equipment being provided be “Buy American Compliant”? Yes.

2. Other than the HVAC does the material being used be “Buy American Compliant”?

Yes.

3. The electrical disconnects all seem to be in fair condition can they be reused? No, please refer to SOW.

4. Some of the units did not have concrete pads are you requiring concrete pads for the condensers? Yes.

5. Please confirm controls are only disconnect and reconnect only, there will be no commissioning of controls or alterations to the existing sequence of operation? controls are Niagara based controls through the BAS.

6. Who is the control contractor and and what points of the HVAC system do you want to monitor? Also, there is no mention of DDC Controls - are DDC Controls required as part of this contract?

David Morris Performance Controls Group 281-900-9808 -All existing points that are being monitored: Cooling set point (occupied & unoccupied), heating set point (occupied & unoccupied), fan status, fan command, cool on/off, heat on/off, supply air temp., outside air damper position.

-Existing DDC controls can be reused. Integration could be needed depending on equipment being used.

7. At Los lndios the static pressure of a 4 ton AHU is not enough for the 12 ton ductwork please clarify. The ductwork is fine.

8. Is there any areas that are going to need temporary cooling? Per the SOW, temporary spot coolers shall be placed in areas where equipment downtime is longer than one day.

9. Do you want the commissioning report to be done by a third party? The SOW does not require that the commissioning report be done by a third party.

10. The statements of work say to update existing rooftop unit disconnects, please clarify.

Per the SOW, the contractor shall install new, appropriate size disconnects for new rooftop units.

11. The bid documents do not actually call for 15 SEER unit, but it says equal to or better than TRANE TTR5 which is a 15 SEER condenser. Our units are 13 SEER is that sufficient? The SOW has been updated to reflect the minimum SEER rating for each unit.

12. When is a bond or payment protection required? Please see Section III.R and Clause 52.228-13 in Document C101 (The Agreement) and Section III.G in Document C201 (The Solicitation). The below is from the FAR:

(1) By the contracting officer for as much of the work as is to be performed in a foreign country upon finding that it is impracticable for the contractor to furnish such bond; or

(2) As otherwise authorized by the Bonds statute or other law.

(b)(1) Pursuant to 40 U.S.C. 3132, for construction contracts greater than $35,000, but not greater than $150,000, the contracting officer shall select two or more of the following payment protections, giving particular consideration to inclusion of an irrevocable letter of credit as one of the selected alternatives:

(i) A payment bond.

(ii) An irrevocable letter of credit (ILC).

(iii) A tripartite escrow agreement. The prime contractor establishes an escrow account in a federally insured financial institution and enters into a tripartite escrow agreement with the financial institution, as escrow agent, and all of the suppliers of labor and material. The escrow agreement shall establish the terms of payment under the contract and of resolution of disputes among the parties. The Government makes payments to the contractor’s escrow account, and the escrow agent distributes the payments in accordance with the agreement, or triggers the disputes resolution procedures if required.

(iv) Certificates of deposit. The contractor deposits certificates of deposit from a federally insured financial institution with the contracting officer, in an acceptable form, executable by the contracting officer.

(v) A deposit of the types of security listed in 28.204-1 and 28.204-2.

(2) The contractor shall submit to the Government one of the payment protections selected by the contracting officer.

Original contract price does not include the price of any options, except those options exercised at the time of contract award.

(b) Contracts exceeding $150,000—

(1) Performance bonds. Unless the contracting officer determines that a lesser amount is adequate for the protection of the Government, the penal amount of performance bonds must equal—

(i) 100 percent of the original contract price; and

(ii) If the contract price increases, an additional amount equal to 100 percent of the increase.

(2) Payment bonds.

(i) Unless the contracting officer makes a written determination supported by specific findings that a payment bond in this amount is impractical, the amount of the payment bond must equal— http://uscode.house.gov/uscode-cgi/fastweb.exe?getdoc+uscview+t37t40+1574+51++%2840%29%20%20AND%20%28%2840%29%20ADJ%20USC%29%3ACITE%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20 https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/current/far/html/Subpart%2028_2.html#wp1073428 https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/current/far/html/Subpart%2028_2.html#wp1073432
