26R0109 PPI Response 2.pdf

This is a Pre-Proposal Inquiry Submission Form for federal contract opportunity N4008526R0109 concerning the replacement of a Chiller York 2075 unit.

The document contains a single pre-proposal question regarding clarification on the Statement of Work (SOW) requirements. The inquiry addresses whether the government intends for contractors to replace the chiller in-kind with a standalone control unit, or if the replacement should include modifications to integrate with existing DDC (Direct Digital Control) controls at the location (A-81 at Norfolk Naval Station). The contractor's primary concern is whether to provide pricing from a local on-base control contractor such as JCI or ALC to control the chiller, or to simply replace the chiller in-kind and operate it manually. The government's response clarifies that the requirement is to "Replace chiller in-kind with standalone control," indicating the contractor should furnish a replacement chiller with its own standalone control system rather than integrating it with existing facility controls or requiring additional control contractor involvement.
