We would like to make a quotation for disaster prevention work including the main body of duct smoke detector and fire control separately.

Disaster prevention work is not in the scope of this project.

Bldg.1300

MB604 MB605

Regarding the temperature sensor for outside air temperature, there's a possibility it may not be able to take in the outside air when ACU stopped, so we would like to set 1 sensor for the outside temperature and humidity on the outside of the building instead of setting temperature sensor for each ACU.

Modification to provide 1 temperature and humidity sensor on the outside of the building instead of setting temperature sensor for each ACU is acceptable.

Note:

The schematic diagram shown is for Bldg 3076 not for Bldg.

Bldg.1300

MB602

There are 2 sensors, but is it possible to set only 1 sensor since the measurement points and the purpose are the same?

As indicated in the schematic diagram there are two measuring points with different purposes one is to modulate which is the two way motorized modulating valve and the other one is to open/close which is the motorized ball valve.

Note:

The schematic diagram shown is for Bldg 3076 not for Bldg.

Bldg.1300

MC002

It is mentioned that the same size valve shall be replaced as the existing ones as shown below, however, there are no manufacturers including our company that produce Φ100 x 80 valves currently. We would like to select control valves for port size and isolation valves, switching valves for valve diameter.

The indicated valve size of 3-way diverting valvewas taken from the as-built drawings.

Existing actual valve size must be check at the site prior to material submittal.

Bldg.1300MC002Same as the above

All control valves have spring return function, does it mean it is normally open (all bypass when closed) when spring return is actuating with 3-way valve?

This means a "fail-safe open position" actuator returns to a pre-set home position when power is removed from the actuator.

Bldg.1300

MC602

Is it considered as the air handling unit is cold/hot water coil?

Notations around chiller and air handling unit in the piping diagram show "C/CR" but it is written as cold/hot water in the control content.

AHU's are with cold/hot water coil.

Bldg.1300

MC603

Regarding the monitor of VAV, is the main body of VAV capable of responding to written input/output signal? Or, is it necessary to provide individual controller for VAV on JCI side? (If controllers to be provided by JCI this time, VAV temperature sensors need to be replaced by JCI as well)

The existing VAV's are not capable of providing I/O signals, a new controller module with associated accessories that are compatible and able to connect to DDC must be provided.

Bldg.1300

MC601

Is it considered as the unit control of these 2 chillers is the function provided? For JCI, just monitoring operation is necessary?

Chillers must be monitored and controlled through the DDC system.

Bid sumission data We believe the bid submission data has been pushed back to 02 August 2022, however still we need more time to make accurate quote. We would like to request to extend (2) more weeks?

Bid submission due date has been changed to 09 August 2022 at 1400 (02:00 PM) local Japan Standard time (JST).

Bldg.1440

Is it correct that measurement of load flow rate and heat on the secondary side is not necessary?

The indicated schematic diagram is based on the existing system configuration at site without load flow rate measurement.

Bldg.1440

MD603

It is necessary to replace the temperature sensor for FCU as well.

(Existing thermostat can not be used for FCU DDC.)

External input/output terminal provided for ACP and HEA? Or, is there manufacturer's BACNET interface available (or added)?

As indicated in dwg # MD101, provide fcu switch that are compatible and able to connect to the DDC.

against the one described in

NETWORK

ARCHITECTURE OF DDC

SYSTEM (For further information, please refer to the yellow highlighted portion described in the attached QTY sheet).

Please clarify which should be the priority for making the quotation.

This is to clarify that Cybersecurity drawings are shown as intended based on or as per UFC for Cybersecurity (4-010-06). Consulting a Cybersecurity specialist with regards to this matter is highly recommended in order to fully understand the concept and guidance for implementation.

Either way, as part of the requirement, Cybersecurity Representative is emphasized as specified in section 25 05 11

- 1.7.1.1. Cybersecurity is as much as priority as telecommunication equipment or devices. Cybersecurity and Telecommunications are two distinct disciplines. TA602-603, TB602-603, TC602-603, TD602-603, TE602-603, TF602-603 are mainly Cybersecurity related drawings. Please refer to drawings TA601, TB601, TC601, TD601, TE601, TF601, TG601 and TH601 respectively for detailed telecommunication equipement or devices required per building. Also refer to the attachment entitled "Reference 949" with mark ups as basis, it should be enough to figure out the other buildings.

49 TA603, TB603, TC603,

TD603, TE 603 DWG

Should we include the equipment between the Network SW and patch panel in our quotatation as scope of work? (i.e. Legend #D thru.OPS SINGLE

MODE FIBER PATCH

PANEL in TA603 DWG)

Yes, please also refer to OSP Fiber Cabling Site Plan (T-003) for building 949. To better understand, please see attachement entitled "Bldg 949 correlation".

50 TB101, TC101, TD101,

TE101, TF101 DWG

Please let us know the installation location of new workstation at Bldg.949, 1300, 1400, 1502, 1524 and 3076.

This is to clarify that there are no related work in providing workstation at building's 949, 1300, 1400, 1502, 1524 and 3076. The only related work for workstation is at building 1310 (GFGI workstation).

51 TG101 DWG There is a description that "V100-6/D46" in the TG101 DWG. May we consider this is a model name of workstation?

This is to clarify that "V100- 6/D46" is an existing One-Net work outlet tag provided by Base Communication Office (Navy's Telecommunications Manager).

1.4.5 BACnet Building

Controller (B-BC) (BACnet)

As described in para 1.1.2 Proprietary Systems Exempted From Open Protocol Requirements, the definition of hardware device should be as a HMI and/or B-BC in BACnet. If we will conncet as SMART GRID, there need modifying to apply B-BC, and additional device installation will be necessary. Should we include this work in our quotation at Bldg.949, 1300, 1440, 1502, 1524 and 3076?

This is to confirm that HMI (Human Machine Interface) such as tablet to be added in the DDC Panel is not required in this project per the CIO's direction as was done in the other Smart Grid Projects.

Rather a maintenance laptap will be provided as required in this project. On the other hand, per SOW No. 3 in TA101 and similar to other buildings states "Provide a complete and operable DDC Smart Grid System. a. Establish the communications network and connections between the DDC and the building communications rack or WIC Box and to the outside plat fiber optic utility cable connections for the building side. Provide all necssary network components, equipment, devices and cablings for the DDC system netowrk." Also, per drawing TA601 and other Smart Grid One-Line Diagrams, Note 9 states "Ensure to provide necessary Equipments and wiring for a complete and operational DDC System."

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

FAR PROVISION 52.229-11 AND FAR CLAUSE 52.229-12

FAR provision 52.229-11 and FAR clause 52.229-12 are included in this solicitation. This provision and clause concern the imposition of a 2 percent Federal excise tax withholding on any resultant contract award or payment request. This rule applies to Federal Government contracts for goods or services that are awarded to foreign persons. It implements the Department of the Treasury final regulations published in the Federal Register at 81 FR 55133 on August 18, 2016, under section 5000C of the Internal Revenue Code relating to the 2 percent tax on payments made by the U.S. Government to foreign entities pursuant to certain contracts.

Exemptions from this excise tax must be claimed by an Offeror when it submits, with its offer, a U.S. Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available via the internet at www.irs.gov/w14. If not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent on each payment. Failure to submit IRS Form W-14 with a payment request will also result in an automatic withholding of 2 percent from the payment request.

When filling out the IRS Form W-14 the following information may be used to complete Part I, Line 6 and 7:

Line 6 Contract / reference number: N4008422B8003

Line 7 Name and address of the acquiring agency:

Any exemption claimed and self-certified is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes concerning this tax are adjudicated by the IRS because the Section 5000C tax is a tax matter not a contract issue. Offerors are encouraged to seek guidance from their own tax, legal, or accounting professionals for advice concerning the provision, clause, and the execution/submission of IRS Form W-14. Additional information is also available at:
