Please indicate whether the government wants the contractor to provide a fully automated switch solution or manual. The drawings do not indicate this and these spec sections may be providing conflicting information.

Whether the required switching is automated or manual depends on code requirements.

The plan sheets show motion sensors shown in certain areas which are defined on sheet E- 001, with notes on the plan sheets, and a detail on sheet E- 503 which describes the sensor operational requirements. In other areas, there are only manual switches. The specs reinforce the drawings and do not appear to contradict what is depicted on the drawings. Not every space has the same switching solution because of code requirements.

Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, 6/16/2026 TS Dwgs Plan Note 2 Note 2 lists "MANHOLE MAY REQUIRE EXPANSION TO ACCOMMODATE NEW CONDUITS. COORDINATE WITH BASE TELEPHONE FOR DUCTBANKS" How will the government handle the scope and cost of the expansion of the manholes if necessary? If this potential scope is going to be required to be accounted for with this proposal, please provide more information to determine this added scope to include as-builts, photos, etc.

KTR is to assume that telecom manholes will need to be replaced with a size appropriate for the proposed work. Coordinating with Base Telephone for duct banks is required for all MH as new duct is being installed in existing active MHs with active cables, 6/16/2026 01 35 29.13 What is the relevancy of adding this specification to the design package?

Key Note 1 Key Note 1. states to demolish the existing gravel road. If the material on this road is salvaged clean, screened and is tested; is it acceptable to reuse this material for new construction hardscapes/other (outside of the scope of the new road that is to be installed before this is removed).

Salvaging the existing material to be removed is acceptable as long as the existing road remains in service to the boat dock during construction of the new road.

6/19/2026 CD100 Note 16.1 Notes 16.1 (16.1.1. & 16.1.2. and 16.1.3) Please provide guidance to when the project will be awarded so that can properly account for the clearing restrictions via this note. If these notes are not relevant please offer new instruction. 16.1.3 indicates that further barriers or relief to these dates would be issued in 2024. How do that guidance change these notes?

There are still two tree cutting moratoriums to protect bats in eastern North Carolina. The moratoriums restrict cutting/trimming trees > 3” diameter at breast height during:

15 April – 31 July (summer active season – this covers both the maternity and pup rearing season)

AND

15 December – 15 February (winter torpor season)

Essentially, following these moratoriums will allow us to informally consult with U.S.

Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) to get a lesser effects determination on our action, and this is generally a faster process.

It can take 3-4 months to formally consult with USFWS should there be a need to cut/trim trees during the moratorium timeframes. Since formal consultation can severely hold up project progress, we typically advise against this course of action unless there are legitimate safety concerns (i.e. removal of danger trees).

6/19/2026 CD100 Note 6 Note 6 lists that the contractor must clear a minimum of 10' either side of the proposed security fence and are required to maintain throughout the duration.

Please provide better instructions to the level of clearing needed to install new fence line as this is not required to be grubbed.

Refer to note 5 on CD100. The area 10' outside of the security fence is considered project area is is required to be grubbed.

6/19/2026 CG140 &141 Key Notes 3 & 4 Please indicate where tree protection fence starts and stops (key note 4) as well as the super silt fence (key note 3) as these lines appear to be the same marking and start/stop and do not overlap from the plans.

6/19/2026 CU Dwgs Note #3 & Various Key Notes

The drawing sheets call for a series of natural gas work by Piedmont Natural Gas through the government. What level of coordination is required by the contractor during construction and will the government supervise that coordination?

Typically, the CM communicates gas requirements, proposed startup schedule to the PWD/Utilities Director. The civil site plan, mechanical equipment schedule w/ projected gas loads, and an in-service need date are essential to build the utility service mod request package. The utilities director will coordinate with NAVFAC MIDLANT UTIL/AQ to secure the mod. The contractor may coordinate installation with the NG utility following execution of the mod.

6/19/2026 CU104 Key Note 34 Key note 34 says to coordinate with ES105 for further lifts station information. Is this meant to say coordinate with ES104?

We asked this question during design but never received an answer", does not provide clarity to the scope of work and could risk major impact to the cost and schedule of the project. Please review and provide response to the previously submitted PPI:

Power line filters do not appear to be included in spec 13 47 00 or drawings. Please provide details and specifications for rf power line filters. If power line filters are not included, RF specialists will likely not guarantee the secured area's specified attenuation because it will fail.

Power line filters are not included in the design.

IEEE 299, 5.1 Overview specifically reads: This standard defines a test procedure but does not define the frequencies at which the measurements should be made, nor does it define the minimum shielding effectiveness that constitutes pass/fail.

The owner shall define these frequencies and all pass/fail requirements.

IEEE 299, Annex D further explains that shielded enclosures can have a wide range of uses, and be constructed from welded steel enclosures, to demountable test

Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, cells. D.2 Performance Requirements goes on to read: The selection and application of methods described herein is the responsibility of the parties associated with the enclosure: principally the owner and the owner’s representatives. It would not be possible to fully test in accordance with this standard if the standard requires procedures or techniques that are inappropriate or incompatible with the particular enclosure involved. Upon review of the shielding enclosure for this project with several experienced shielding vendors meeting the requirements of 13 47 00 and respective attenuations specified, the consensus is that the IEEE 299 testing requirements need to be tailored/suited for this application, and more specific pass/fail requirements need to be defined.

Please provide an updated IEEE 299 testing plan that is tailored to this project.

6/25/2026 CU100 CLIN 0001I could represent a significant pricing swing for 70,000 TN. The CLIN language includes stockpiling, sampling, analysis, and disposal of non-hazardous material at a licensed facility, priced per ton. This wording suggests the material may be contaminated and require off-base disposal, potentially at a Subtitle D landfill. Based on this language, we assume the material will need to be transported off base to an approved disposal facility rather than being disposed of at one of the two on-base dump locations identified in the specifications. Please confirm whether this assumption is correct. Additionally, please clarify the anticipated contaminants that should be assumed for pricing and disposal purposes. Should bidders assume the potential presence of PFAS, petroleum hydrocarbons, VOCs, SVOCs, metals, or other contaminants? Specifically, should PFAS-impacted material be included in the scope and pricing assumptions for this CLIN?

Bid as specified assuming offsite disposal at a RCRA D facility is required; due to the volume of soil, on base disposal is prohibited.

Based on site history, no PFAS releases have occurred in or within the vicinity of the site.

Site specific data should be included as an Attachment to the 01 57 19 specifications to provide data for the contractors to bid upon and select an existing facility that will receive the waste.

6/25/2026 C-258 1) The drawing on C-258 shows us 2 condition points, both labeled “Buildout”.

Please clarify which one will be the actual buildout. Are we to supply pumps that can meet both conditions, or do we need to supply a pump for the initial condition (Left) BUT can achieve the buildout condition (Right) via impeller or motor swap?

This is important because there would be a change of HP required.

2) Please confirm voltage is 3/208 as stated on drawing. Specs state 3/460.

Pump voltage is 208v, 3ph as indicated on electrical site drawings.

The PPI responses stating "The shielding test parameters must be stipulated by the AO. We asked this question during design but never received an answer", does not provide clarity to the scope of work and could risk major impact to the cost and schedule of the project.

Please review and provide response to the previously submitted PPI: Section 13 47 00 is calling for the shielded spaces to meet the effectiveness of what appears to be in the range of +60-80dB ranges and KHz frequencies listed in its respective sections “when tested” per IEEE 299, NSA 65-6, MIL-STD-285. Section 3.2.2 doesn’t specifically mention the IEEE 299 testing, but it is assumed to be required. The General Contractor and the Shielding Specialist Subcontractor are comfortable to test the shielded space per IEEE 299 standards, however, there is no performance guarantee that can be provided for a field built facility. The shielding effectiveness test results will be provided in a confidential manner, but may show small local failure points in the shielding. Any potential failure points, in the confidential report, will be provided for information only. As discussed in IEEE 299, the testing standard is built around six-sided, continuously welded steel enclosures, bolted together panel enclosures, etc. When trying to use rFOIL sheets, cut and applied on a construction site, around obstacles, openings, etc, it doesn’t yield the same level of shielding results as a pre-fabricated, continuously welded, six-sided box.

What has been acceptable on other projects with an “Open Storage” level of classification is to perform the testing, and provide the results confidentially to the Gov’t. This will show and identify the isolated points of weakness for information only.

However, to build a shielded space that would pass all of the tables in IEEE 299, on all six sides is an extremely expensive, and incredibly sensitive and time consuming endeavor (if not impossible). We just want to verify that the Gov’t is aware of and acceptable to the fact that the 4 sided box will yield local shielding failure points, and those will be tested and pointed out in the reports, but those won’t be able to be remedied in the field. Please confirm the Gov’t acknowledges and is acceptable to this.
