28 B344 RFP Part 5.0 (Room Requirements) does not specify finishes for the Lobby space. Please specify.

Lobby finishes : Hazmat abatement GB walls and existing painted ceiling concrete deck. Provide abatement of all layers of paint at all ceiling and all wall areas above ACT. If walls are to be touched by construction (like new double doors into the Mech Rm., or mens bathroom, etc.) walls will be abated in entirety also. Repair floor ceramic tile as close as possible to match existing (25 SF combined with Main entrance). Repair/ patch GB walls, prime and two coats of paint. Provide 4" cove rubber base to match throughout the new spaces. Demo ACT and existing light fixtures. Provide all New ACT and light fixtures and controls.

G4010 Please confirm anticipated distance for new 13.8kVA primary duct bank.

This is a design build project. The electrical DOR shall provide a design solution for the replacement of the existing transformer. As shown, the existing 13.8kV primary connection to Bldg 344's transformer T-478 is fed from Bldg 345's loop feed transformer T952 as depicted on the Bldg 344 Site plan included in the RFP. The design should address the installation of new primary ductbank as needed. Page 260of of 441shows the location of the existing primary as described in the response above.

There are many ways to design the project and each solution could have a different length of primary ductbank. The point of service for primary cablings at the transformer (T952) that feeds building 345.

of

G4010 Is the interior raceway in B345 for the new 24 strand OSP fiber existing or new? What is the anticipated length of this run?

This is a DB project and the electrical DOR shall provide a design solution. Additional information is attached with this PPI to show the as-built configuration of the data room in Bldg 345 along with some photos of the conduits entering the data room and the existing rack. It is anticipated that the existing interior raceway in B345 will be able to support the proposed new cable.

67 Reference Photos

The existing space has a number of surface mounted conduits that are run below the beams.

The conduits appear to be feeding loads in the other floors. Is the government’s intent that the upper floor loads be routed through the first floor or are they to be relocated.

Existing feeds to areas outside of the construction zone shall be relocated as needed. It should be noted that the majority of conduits within the space have been run around the beams to feed loads within the construction zone. These conduits were placed 'around' the beams because the beams are substantial in size and are constructed of reinforced concrete.

Electrical solutions for this space shall include the installation of raceway systems that provide a more aesthetic solution for the space. Contractor will assume for bidding purposes that 25% of the existing conduits in the spaces will require relocation to feed the upper floors. Part 6 includes the original construction drawings for this facility.

This 8(a) construction procurement was offered to the 8(a) program prior to 25 August 2021, so Release Number 21-73 is not applicable to this procurement business in a specific geographic area in order to be awarded any construction contract through the 8(a) Program due to the ongoing challenges of COVID-19. The moratorium is effective August 25, 2021, and applies to all 8(a) construction contracts offered to the 8(a) Program between August 25, 2021, and September 30, 2022.

During the moratorium, any 8(a) Program participant seeking an 8(a) construction contract (either on a sole source or competitive basis) will not be required to have or establish a bona fide place of business in any specific geographic location.

For purposes of 8(a) construction procurements, a bona fide place of business means a location where a participant regularly maintains an office that employs at least one full-time individual within the appropriate geographical boundary.

The term does not include construction trailers or other temporary construction sites.

The SBA believes this modification to the 8(a) Program will make it easier for small disadvantaged businesses to be eligible to be awarded 8(a) construction contracts." Question:

Please confirm the bona fide place of business requirement for this solicitation has been removed now that ruling 21- 73 has been instated.
