75 2 of 10 Amd 3

Amendment 0003 contains over 1,000 pages of RFP specifications, 175 reference drawings, and 320 pages of reference reports. That represents a lot of information to evaluate and properly ensure a design is vetted against.

In addition, Factor 6 of the solicitation is asking for a Whole Building Energy Simulation, and an Energy Efficiency Narrative based on LCCA. These items require the Design-Build teams to run three different LCCAs on the mechanical systems listed in D30, along with subsequent building energy models. A critical first step to running these models is to confirm which ASHRAE baseline year the model is to be based off (several referenced in the RFP, see previous RFI submitted).

To provide all of this information, and still allow ample time for the subcontractor and vendor community to price the design in just over 4 weeks is an extremely difficult task.

We respectfully request a two week bid extension to allow ample time to digest the RFP, assemble a design that meets the RFP, and to run all of the necessary LCCA and Energy Models requested.

76 73, 81 01 33

10.05 20 1.9

Section 1.9 of the Design Submittals references meeting Sustainable Design requirements and submitting and obtaining the LEED certification for the project. Please confirm what level of LEED certification is required (Part 3, D202003 references LEED Silver, but no other references are found).

Spec 01 33 10.05 also references LEED NC 2009. In order to register the project under 2009, the project already needs to be registered. If it isn't, the LEED certification will need to follow v4. Please confirm the project has already been pre-registered with LEED under the 2009 standards.

See Amendment

77 377 D30 HVAC

2 System Descripti on

Under Part 3, ESR D30, the ventilation shall be provided by independent DOAS system. In UFC 3-410-01 Change 4, section 3-2.1, it states that the DOAS must distribute airflow directly to zones without passing through light-duty equipment. We would like to know if a VAV airside system type would be acceptable on this project to supply ventilation air that is dehumidified and conditioned in accordance with all other RFP and UFC requirements to be delivered to either the return deck side of a medium pressure air handling unit, or possibly even a fan power terminal device that then would distribute the ventilation air to the zone. This particular UFC requirement is counterproductive with respect to energy conservation methodology in that it currently requires that all ventilation air to be cooled, dehumidified and then reheated to space temperature neutral. This, in many times of the year, creates scenarios where the ventilation air is unnecessarily reheated by either hot-gas DX or natural gas sources, when that cool and dehumidified air could actually be used to sensibly cool many areas of the facility. The end terminal devices which in accordance with the RFP will have the ability to reheat the ventilation air on an as-needed basis to satisfy the space conditions more energy efficiently, in turn resulting in economic benefits to the end user.

78 N/A N/A N/A

We respectfully request an extension to the proposal due date, which is currently set for April 10th, 1400 EST.

Based on the extent of the design effort in regards to the mechanical system's Life Cost Cycle Analysis (LCCA) required, it would be beneficial to all parties to ensure designers have adequate time to provide a thorough, detailed and effective LCCA to be included in all proposals by all solicitors. In addition, the Portsmouth Ship Training Facility NAVFAC Mid Atlantic proposal is due on the same date. Staggering these due dates will allow adequate time for contractors (particularly small businesses) enough time to provide the most valuable input to both solicitations. Please consider extending this proposal due date 3 weeks.

5. Room

Requireme nts

N/A

The room data sheet for “ELEVATOR” indicates that (1) elevator is acceptable for (3) story or less BEQ(s), and (2) elevators are necessary for (4) or (5) story BEQ’s.

The bridging documents indicate only one elevator in the building on the floor plans and in Part 3, paragraph

2.2 Facility Function, which states, “Building egress and circulation shall be achieved through three stairwells and one elevator. Part 3, 4.0 Building requirements, in the 4.1 Space Tabulation and 4.2 Bubble Diagrams indicates that the facility will be (4) stories, which would require (2) elevators.

Please clarify if it will be acceptable to provide one elevator, or if we need to modify the floor plan and scope to provide (2) elevators due to the (4) story structure. If (2) elevators are required, please consider a proposal time extension of 3 weeks so that building programming and SF can be thoughtfully adjusted.

Amend ment 003;

item #14 N/A

Pursuant to Amendment 03 and confirmed in Amendment 04, the Phase II Proposal Due Date is set for April 10th at 2:00PM EST. We respectfully and responsibly request an extension (not less than two weeks) to the current due date based on following three impacts; (Impact 1) Four weeks is insufficient time to generate pricing documents for bidding purposes, solicit and receive market pricing from subcontractors, and compile the technical solution for submission; (Impact 2) The site visit was confirmed to be a day later than originally set, now just 19 days prior to the due date; (Impact 3) the proposal response period is inclusive of the Easter Holiday and Spring Break vacation week. Many of our subcontractors and vendors will be off this week and we are concerned that having the proposal due the Tuesday after their return to work will tremendously impact the volume and quality of the current market participation.

Chapter 6 - Engineerin g Systems Requireme nts

A.10 Standard Foundati ons

Pursuant to Part 3 – Project Program, Chapter 6 Engineering Systems Requirements, Section A10 Foundations, 10 (Standard Foundations), the RFP indicates that the DOR is to provide an appropriate Standard foundation system to support the structures associated with this project. Then the next section, Section, A101001 (Shallow Foundations), states “the structure(s)

Bid per RFP shall be entirely supported by a shallow foundation system only as permitted in Section A1010.” Finally, the subsequent section, Section A101002 (Deep Foundations), states “the barracks structure(s) shall be entirely supported by a pile foundation system consisting of auger placed grout piles”. Since Section A101002 specifically states the “barracks” structure(s), (Question 1) is it intended that the barracks structure has to be supported by a pile foundation system consisting of auger placed grout piles or (Question 2) is it possible to propose an alternative foundation system to support the barracks structure, such as shallow foundations or other alternatives, assuming the Geotechnical Engineer determines that such foundations are acceptable and meet the other requirements stipulated in the RFP pending the completion of an additional geotechnical investigation?

100 379 Part 3, Section 6, D30 HVAC

1. VAV

Systems

The last paragraph under VAV systems discussed a constant volume ventilation by using an "injection fan" putting outside air into the VAV air handler. This appears to be in conflict with Section D304008 which states to provide a "separate and independent" unit to provide the ventilation.

Furthermore, the paragraph seems to contradict the requirements of section

3.2 of UFC 3-410-01 Change 4 which discusses independent ventilation equipment and its delivery to the space. Is the intent to follow the RFP or UFC 3-410-01?

101 273 Part 3, Section 5, Bedroom Module

D304001 requires demand ventilation.

However, Section D30 HVAC, System Description states "economizers are not to be used". Also, section System Description, 1. VAV Systems states to "Maintain a constant volume of outside air ventilation". Is the intent of the RFP to provide demand control ventilation or constant volume ventilation?

- Part 6C Drawings

Part 1

In order to comply with the UFC's guidelines, parking count and landscape ratio, we estimate that the P-955 BEQ Remote Parking Lot will need to expand in width by about 210 feet. This should meet the parking count and accommodate two 9' wide bioswales (for stormwater management), 26' drive aisles, and 18.5' parking stalls. Does the Gov't wish to increase the width of this parking lot or should we remain in the boundaries shown in the RFP documents?

Part 3 section D30 (Pg. 379) under “1.

VAV Systems” there is a description that reads as follows: “It shall consist of VAV air handling units serving VAV fan powered terminal units throughout the facility and a dedicated outdoor air system with 100% exhaust air energy recovery using total enthalpy wheel(s). The last sentence in the same paragraph appears to conflict with the direction for a dedicated outdoor air system, it says: ““Outside air ventilation air for the facility shall be delivered through the VAV air handling unit(s)….”. Please clarify if a dedicated outside air system is required or not.

Part 3 section D30 (Pg. 379) under “1.

VAV Systems” there is a description that reads as follows: “Maintain a constant volume of outside air ventilation though the central station VAV air handling unit by using an injection fan and a constant volume terminal with a pressure independent velocity controller in order to keep the ventilation airflow constant as the VAV air handling unit modulates”. Is this suggesting that if a VAV system is provided, that demand controlled ventilation is not required as directed in an earlier section of the D30? If so, then does it follow that CO2 sensors will not be required in any of the spaces that call for them in the room functional requirements sheets?

Part 3 section D30 (Pg. 380) under “Ventilation Systems” there is a sentence that says to: “Provide an independent and dedicated ventilation system for the Multi-Purpose room”.

If a dedicated outside air system is provided for the building, it would be more cost effective, and equally energy efficient to simply provide a CO2 controlled vav box to manage ventilation air to the MP room, would this be acceptable?

Part 3 section D30 (Pg. 382) System Requirements suggest that

382 Mechanical, Storage and Electrical rooms be mechanically ventilated. Would it be acceptable to condition these rooms to the same temperatures? We believe that the life of the equipment located in these rooms will be extended if not frequently subjected to the dust, pollen and dirt that is introduced into the rooms when mechanically ventilated. Electrical rooms would also benefit due to less derating of the equipment if setpoints are cooler than 10°F above ambient.

Part 3 section D30 (Pg. 382) System Requirements suggest that Mechanical, Storage and Electrical rooms be mechanically ventilated to:

“Provide supply and exhaust ventilation for the mechanical room if there is no fuel-fired combustion equipment present”. Would it be acceptable to ventilate the mechanical room by exhaust only and provide a makeup air louver? This would reduce maintenance and be a more energy efficient solution, no down side that I can see.

Please clarify what kinds of interior mechanical equipment this applies to. For instance, VAV boxes, WSHP units, Unit heaters, are not available from the factory with such coatings and would be very expensive to have treated, we want to make sure this kind of equipment is what the government has in mind for these coatings before we proceed.

Part 3 section D30 (Pg. 389) indicates regarding dryer exhaust that: “Dryer intake air shall be drawn into the dryer plenum/chase area through the exterior intake/exhaust louver and enter the rear of the dryers. This method prevents the need for conditioning dryer makeup air.” This appears to be in conflict with direction on the room criteria sheets for the Laundry rooms (Pg. 313 for example) which states: “A plenum shall supply treated outdoor air directly to the dryers....”. Please clarify if makeup air should be pre-conditioned or if unconditioned air is acceptable for makeup air into the plenum.

See Amendment

The room criteria sheets for the Bedroom modules indicate that CO2 sensors shall be provided with demand controlled ventilation (DCV). Please confirm that this control strategy is required for all bedrooms. Additionally, since DCV strategies only allow reset to the “Building Component” of the outside air requirement (Ra *Az), is the government certain that the cost of DCV and associated CO2 sensor maintenance/calibration will be justified for the savings of 20 cfm at best during unoccupied times? Also, if DCV is required, will exhaust rates for the bathrooms, which are described as constant in section D30 be required to drop as well to maintain building positive pressure? If this is the case, the “sub-duct” method of exhausting restrooms will not work, nor will a vertical exhaust riser work. Each outside air duct and each exhaust duct to each bedroom module would need to be independently controlled by a damper and/or other mechanical means. We respectfully recommend that DCV strategies be reserved for high occupant density areas as the complexities introduced may outweigh the benefits.

The room criteria sheet for the Vestibules indicates “Provide Pre- Conditioned outside air, return air, exhaust air and supply air for each space/room” as well as “VAV series fan powered units- provide with reheat, and a min of 4 air changes per hour”. As vestibules are naturally ventilated, does the government still want outside air delivered to the vestibules? Also, typically we see vestibules heated only with no exhaust or return. Please clarify requirements for the vestibules.

Factor 6 – Energy and Sustainable Design says the following: “The Whole Building Solution requires the use of the following documents included in part 6 of this RFP” and lists a number of documents that are to be used for the energy model simulation. However, part 6 does not appear to include these attachments as stated. Please provide attachments.

Factor 6 – Energy and Sustainable Design says the following: “Provide a detailed narrative describing how the proposed solution will meet baseline ASHRAE 90.1-2013”. Part D30 suggests that the building should be designed to the “Latest” version of ASHRAE 90.1, which would be 2016, which is conflict with the first sentence. Please clarify which version of ASHRAE 90.1 the building should be designed to. (Note that which version the building is designed to, and which Is used for the purposes of demonstrating EPAct-2005 compliance as a “Baseline” building, can be, and typically are, different versions.”

Part 3 section D30 (Pg. 378) regarding heat wheels in the dedicated outdoor air system states: “However, equipment must be sized assuming a 50% efficient heat wheel in order to account for the loss in efficiency of the wheel over time.

The next sentence says: “The system shall be designed to provide 100% design capacity in the event of failure of the heat wheel”. These sentences appear to be in conflict. If the system is to be design to provide 100% design capacity in the event of failure of the heat wheel , this would require the equipment to be sized assuming a 0% efficient wheel rather than 50% efficient. Please clarify.

See Amendment

Part 3

Part 3 section D30 (Pg. 380) regarding Water Source Heat Pump system, states: “Provide a separate and dedicated 100% conditioned outdoor air system feeding neutral air to each individual zone/space using WSHP, hot water heating, pre-heat and reheat using hot water, and energy recovery from exhaust air using total enthalpy heat wheel.” If we were to use a WSHP system, we would prefer to include the DOAS unit on the WSHP condenser water loop and thus not use hot water heating, reheating would likely be hot gas reheat which would increase our energy efficiency. Would this approach be acceptable?

The Space criteria sheet for the Multi- Purpose room states: “Direct expansion systems – Provide separate heat-pump system with an independent control and supplemental how water heating coil”.

Is it the intent of this statement to require a hot water distribution system and specifically a hot water heating coil for this space even if the main system type does not require a hot water distribution system?

See Amendment

The space criteria sheets with respect to HVAC systems appear to be inconsistent with Section D30 of the RFP. They appear to assume a specific type of HVAC system will be provided (VAV series Fan powered units). They also apparently suffer from numerous copy/paste oversights such as CO2 sensors and demand controlled ventilation where this would not make sense, such as janitors closets, vestibules, toilets, stairwells etc. and the statement “Provide pre-conditioned outside air, return air, exhaust air and supply air for each space/room” appears to have been copied to every space listed regardless of type, function, or what has been required in section D30.

Would the government please review the space criteria sheets for these issues and provide some direction or clarification?

Part 1

In order to comply with the UFC's guidelines, parking count and landscape ratio, we estimate that the P-955 BEQ Remote Parking Lot will need to expand in width by about 210 feet. This should meet the parking count and accommodate two 9' wide bioswales (for stormwater management), 26' drive aisles, and 18.5' parking stalls. Does the Gov't wish to increase the width of this parking lot or should we remain in the boundaries shown in the RFP documents? The latter option will require that some of the current requirements will have to be waived.

3.2 Site

Develop ment Require ments

The paragraph "Finished Floor Elevation" states that the new BEQ building shall match the finished ground floor elevation of the P-985 BEQ building, which is set at 69.00 feet. The basement FFE of the new BEQ building needs to be no lower than 58.0, for drainage purposes.

This only gives a floor-to-floor height of 11'-0" from the basement to the main level. With the min. ceiling heights given for the basement (9'-0 corridors & 9'-4" bedroom modules), this does not allow sufficient space for above-ceiling work. It would seem our only two options are: 1) lower the min. ceiling heights by 1'-0" in the basement or 2) allow a FFE of 70.0 for the main level. Please advise.
