QUESTION GOVERNMENT RESPONSE

Posted on Amend No.

Page Section Para.

Drawi ng C‐

Please provide the “property lines” as they pertain to the Building 712 site.

Do the “proposed site limits” shown on sheet C‐101 constitute the property lines?

Building 712 has no real property lines. However, a Building Code Site plan shall be provided as required by FC 1‐300‐09N,§7‐6.1. The site plan shall be prepared by the fire protection designer of record and must show the line of encroachment identifying minimum separation distances from adjacent buildings and assumed property lines (movable imaginary lines for the purpose of fire separation between buildings) of the new construction and of the adjacent structures."

The existing plant has a propane tank used for the oil burner pilots prior to the introduction of gas to the site.

Does the Government desire to maintain the propane service for use during gas interruptions?

Refer to “1374726_Steam B_Amendment 0001”

The existing gas meter appears that it will be too close to the building to meet AT/FP requirements. Does the Government anticipate or expect Contractor action to correct the location?

Per 2.3.6 Antiterrorism Criteria This Facility will have an occupancy designated as low occupancy and UFC 4‐010‐01, (19 August 20), does not apply.

Attachment K, D301001 OIL SUPPLY SYSTEM, p.

410 of 1730; and drawing

MEP‐602

The truck loading and unloading stations show the use of “self priming centrifugal pumps”. Fuel pumps are typically positive displacement. Are centrifugal pumps an absolute requirement, or can positive displacement pumps be used?

Refer to “1374726_Steam B_Amendment 0001”

Variou s

The RFP makes specific references to code editions. Please clarify if the stated sections are to be used, or if versions are selected based on the current version per UFC 1‐200‐01, Change 1, dated 24 Feb 2023.

Refer to 1374726_Steam B_Amendment 0001”

Attachment K, para2.3.5 Accessibility Requirements, p. 333 of

Part 3, Paragraph 2.3.5 has a statement that the plant does not need to be accessible. This overlooks the possibility of supervisory or regulatory personnel who are mobility impaired visiting the plant.

Previous DoD plants have been built with limited accessibility to the firing floor, office, and toilet rooms. Please clarify the accessibility requirements.

Agree that full ABA compliance is not required given the understanding that this is a temporarily occupied building for occasional monitoring of equipment. The RFP notes the user’s invoking of the able bodied exclusion under Article 3 of the SECDEF memo. Note that using this requirement does have a memo component that needs to be filled out and signed off on by the Installation Commander. That said, the design should provide a limited accessible path from the parking area to the main entry, to the Control Room and the Toilet.

Revised 0006

Attachment K, para 2.3.6 Antiterrorism Criteria, p.

Part 3, Paragraph 2.3.5 Is ATFP required? There are conflicting paragraphs. Please clarify project intent.

Per 2.3.6 Antiterrorism Criteria This Facility will have an occupancy designated as low occupancy and UFC 4‐010‐01, (19 August 20), does not apply.

Attachment K, para 2.4.2 Civil/Site, p. 337 of 1730

Part 3, Paragraph 2.4.2 has a requirement for double wall tanks located inside the containment area.

Use of double wall tanks in conjunction with a containment basin is not required per COMAR. Please clarify project intent.

Storage Tanks shall be in complience with NFPA 30. Stored #2 fuel is classified aws Class II liquid. Provide tanks as specified in the RFP.

Paragr aph 2

Attachment K, Part 3, Section 5, 101, #11 sizes the deaerator for an 80,000 PPH load and requires 30 minutes of storage at full load. However, the deaerator schedule on drawing MEP‐ 701 specifies a rating of 75,000 PPH, a storage volume of 1,850 gallons, and a storage capacity of 10 minutes.

D3020 further specifies full plant capacity deaerators with common 30 minute capacity storage tank. If the load is 75,000 PPH (~150 GPM), 10 mins of storage would be 1500 GPM.

For 80,000 PPH (~160 GPM), 10 mins of storage would be 1,600 gallons. If the boilers are rated for 34,526 pph, full plant capacity would be ~69,000 PPH (~138 GPM) and 30 minutes of storage would be ~4,141 gallons. We are requesting clarification on the desired rated capacity of the deaerator and the required storage in minutes for that rating.

Provide deaerator based on RFP Part 3 D3020 requirements.

14 6 D302001 1.7

Paragr aph 1

The boiler schedule on drawing MEP‐ 701 specifies a "Nominal HP" of 1,000 for each boiler with an output of 33,500 MBH and 34,526 PPH. This contradicts D3020 which requires a capacity of 34,600 MBH at 200 psig operating pressure. Boiler ratings are from and at 212 °F and 0 psig. The output capacity of a 1,000 HP boiler at 200 psig will only be 33,475 MBH and 33,304 PPH. Is the intent to receive 1,000 HP boilers or 1,100 HP boilers? An 1,1100 HP boiler will provide a capacity of 36,822 MBH and 36,635 PPH.

Provide boilers based on RFP Part 3 D3020 requirements.

Factor 6 Para.

4 & (a)

The requirement for Attachment F states in part: "Small Business utilization will be evaluated on past performance projects that required the use of a Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SBSP)" and ."Attachment F shall be provided for each project submitted under Factor 2, Experience". None of our projects featured in Factor 2, Experience required SBSPs as the projects were set aside for small businesses already. As this is the case, Small Business goals and data were not tracked. Please advise if Attachment F is only to be completed for projects that required SBSPs and goals, or if it is to be completed for every project submitted under Factor 2, regardless of required SBSPs and goals. Also, please advise if Attachment F is just to be completed for the projects pertaining only to the Offeror, or for projects pertaining to both the Offeror and the Offeror's chosen Design Firm. If the latter, there could be as many as 10 projects for which the Offeror has to provide this data in Factor 6.

Attachment F is required for all projects that required Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SBSP).

If a SBSP was not required due to the project being a small business set‐aside please indicate that.

Attach ment G

2.a & 2.b

Attachment G ‐ 2.a asks for the total contract value (the offeror's proposed price for the project, as we understand it). We are not accustomed to providing our "price" in the technical proposal. Please advise that the offeror is to provide their proposed price in 2.a. If not, please confirm it is acceptable to leave this section blank. (Normally for this type of form, we are used to providing percentages for each of the Small Business categories, but not dollar values.)

There are no changes, please complete Attachment G as indicated.

Site Visit | After contract award and during the Design Period will the contractor be responsible for existing government assets and temporary equipment? If yes, provide the governments expectations.

Contractor shall strictly follow NSF Indian Head safety and security regulations, protecting of Government assests during entire project process, from the early stages of site visits in pre‐contract award phase, to design phase after Contract award, and during construction phase. Protection of Government assets is a primary Contractor's duty.

Marlo Dealkalizer/softener | Based on the overall condition of the existing Marlow system could the government amend scope to replace the existing with a new. This would allow the government and contractor to manage the warranty of all new assets. If replacement is not an option, will any maintenance, repairs and salt be provided by the government?

The dealkilizer will be a government furnished equipment. From the 101‐ Boiler Room Data sheet: "Relocate existing Marlo dealkalyzer in its entirety from shelter northeast of existing Building 712, temporarily store and protect, service and place into operation in approximate location indicated on concept plans."

Page 743/1730

DX HVAC Units | Please confirm that the government is requiring copper/copper air cooled condensers or a 2000 hour salt spray coating.

Per RFP Part 3 D30 General System Requirements. From the B101 Boiler room data sheet: "Provide all mechanical equipment HVAC cooling/heating and condenser coils with a manufacturer approved coating system. The heat transfer rating must be as installed".

Page 463/1730

Non‐Potable Water | RO water extension from existing PNP to new Building 712R is just under 0.9 miles.

Providing electric heat trace will be difficult due to the lack of power in the proposed routing system. Would the government consider changing scope to have the contractor install a RO Skid sized for the new B‐712R boiler plant?

A packaged RO skid may be proposed as a design solution post award.

Site Visit | Will the new Steam Plant HVAC systems be required to integrate into a BAS system or will these assets be controlled stand‐ alone. If yes, please provide the preferred BAS vendor and contact information that services NSF.

Part 3 D302001 1.10.1 Boiler Controls details the plant control system requirements.
