Amendment 0007 7179548 Upgrade Restrooms DLA Multiple Bldgs.

RFI Responses:

1. Could the government please provide the details for the hardware sets that are indicated on the door schedule that are to appear in 08710? There are no Specifications available for hardware.

Response:

See revised specification 08 71 00 for hardware sets. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

2. The specs say the CxC is hired by the Government. Commissioning Provider (CxC) ‐ The entity hired by the Government, who leads, plans, and coordinates the Commissioning Team. The terms Commissioning Provider, Commissioning Firm, Lead Commissioning Specialist, Commissioning Specialist, and Commissioning Authority (CA or CxA) when used by sustainable Third‐Party Certification (TPC) programs, are interchangeable. Please verify that all commissioning costs are excluded from this contract.

See revised spec section 01 91 00.15 20 dated 20 DEC 2024. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

3. Bid documents don’t appear to require fire alarm, mass notification, or fire sprinkler systems in the temporary bathroom trailers. Please confirm whether Contractor is responsible for design or construction of fire protection systems in temporary trailers.

Response: Fire alarm, mass notification and sprinklers are not required in the temporary bathroom trailers. See revised NAVFAC Drawing No. 12882187 dated 23 DEC 2024. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

4. Bid documents include spec 07 84 00 “Firestopping”, but drawings don’t appear to identify new or existing fire‐rated construction. Please clarify whether project includes firestopping, and if so, how should the Contractor identify the rating and extent of existing fire‐rated construction.

Response: Project is not anticipated to include firestopping. This specification section has been included in the event that situations requiring it outlined in other specification sections are encountered per direction from the NAVFAC FPE. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP,

5. Division 21 and 28 specs say QFPE must perform “in‐progress construction surveillance prior to installation of ceilings (rough‐in inspection).” In areas where work includes new ceilings, design drawings depict scope as limited to adding/relocating sprinklers and installing several fire alarm notification appliances throughout the entire project. There will be little for the QFPE to see before ceiling installation, and each site visit will inflate project cost. Please confirm whether QFPE must perform construction surveillance before ceiling installation.

Response: Rough‐in inspection prior to ceiling installation by the QFPE must only be performed for new rooms 150‐A, 150‐B, and 150‐C in Building 150. See Revised division 21 and 28 specification sections dated 17 DEC 2024. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP,

6. Division 28 specs require fire alarm and fire alarm/mass notification system testing including audibility/intelligibility tests, loop resistance tests, tests of “each initiating device and notification appliance”, functional tests, primary/secondary power tests, circuit spare capacity tests, and voltage drop tests. Project scope generally includes minor adjustments to existing fire alarm circuits; testing/remediating existing system‐wide conditions would be more expensive. Please clarify required extent of fire alarm and fire alarm/mass notification system testing.

Response: System testing is only required on modified circuits. As noted in specification sections, contractor is to test the existing system and identify any deficiencies. Deficiencies identified before commencing work are not the responsibility of the contactor to remediate.

See revised Division 28 specification sections dated 17 DEC 2024. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

7. RFP (“Proposal Requirements” file) paragraph 1.2 refers to CLINs 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, 0006, and 0007. The price proposal sheet doesn’t refer to CLINs 0006 and 0007. Please advise.

See Amendment 0004. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

8. The submittal and review time for the Health & Safety Plan, coordination with existing tenants, and front‐end coordination requirements for this project make the contract completion time of 380 days unachievable. Would the government consider extending the contract duration by 99 additional days?

See Amendment 0002. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

9. Could the government provide an interior signage schedule including design and materials of the required signage?

Response:

See Signage Note #3, B4/A‐603. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

10. CLIN’s do not include additional time if awarded with this contract. Is 380 days for all CLIN’s specified in the RFP? If so, more time is required to complete the project due to the additional coordination and requirements.

See Amendment 0002. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

11. The specifications call for surveillance and lighting at all construction locations. Could the government elaborate on these requirements?

Response:

Insufficient information to identify the source and context of the comment within the specifications. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all

12. Please clarify the number of temporary modular restroom buildings you’re requesting and the sizes for each building. It seemed confusing on Plan CS 502 that Type A is a 12’x34’ Male/ Female restroom trailer and then there is an 8’X12’ single stall men temp toilet structure with an ADA ramp and step‐ Please clarify drawings on this page and what is being requested as the requirement?

Sheet CS502 indicates temporary head facilities Types “A” and “B”, including requisite sizes; site layout drawing sheets CS101 through CS103 indicate locations of each type. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

13. Will aluminum engineered ADA deck, ramps and steps be acceptable or will you accept pressure treated wood decks, ramps, and steps?

Response:

No material requirements nor restrictions are provided. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

14. Will you accept used trailers, or must they be Brand new?

Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

15. Will you accept minor design deviations from the drawings for the floorplans of the temporary restroom trailers?

Response:

Temporary trailer submittal will be evaluated for overall compliance with drawings and specifications; minor deviations from floor plans may be acceptable. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

16. Division 21 and 28 specs say QFPE must attend separate “Pre‐Government” and

“Government Final” testing. Each QFPE site visit will inflate project cost; considering the limited Fire Protection scope, is it necessary for the QFPE to attend “Pre‐Government” testing in person? Regular communication between QFPE and Contractor, in addition to

QFPE review of photographs and test reports, could be a cost‐effective alternative to physical attendance for minimal fire protection system testing?

Response: QFPE attendance is not required at the Government Final testing, only prefinal testing per the specifications. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all

17. On drawing P‐108 (C1), it shows a Backflow Preventer in the Janitor Room but the Fixture

Schedule on P‐501 doesn’t have it listed. Could this please be added to the Fixture Schedule?

Response: See previous response in Amendment. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP,

18. Is there a specification for floor sealer? Floor at 145‐A is peeling in several spots how should this floor be treated?

Response:

See 02 41 00 for floor prep. See revised section 09 90 00 dated 20 DEC 2024 for added sealer product, paragraph 3.11.1.1. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all amendments.

19. Drawing A‐101 Restroom at B145: Area outside of restroom is shaded in grey to indicate slab removal but there is no demolition keynote #1 in the area. Can we confirm if the slab outside of the restroom is coming out?

See revised drawing sheet 12882155 23 DEC 2024. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP,

20. Looking at drawing P‐109 details C1 & C3 it shows 1ea P‐14 plumbing fixtures. A P‐14 fixture is not listed in the Plumbing Fixture Schedule. Is this a mis tagged item, or will there be a P‐ 14 fixture required?

See revised Fixture Schedule on NAVFAC Drawing No. 12882213 with revision date of December 10, 2024. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all

21. If the P‐14 Plumbing fixture is required, may we get this fixture added to the plumbing fixture schedule and plumbing specifications?

Response:

See revised Fixture Schedule on NAVFAC Drawing No. 12882213 with revision date of December 10, 2024. Also, please see updated paragraph that reflects the specification for the double‐bowl service sink. Submit proposals in accordance with RFP, Specifications, Drawings and all

22. Drawing P‐110 Detail C1 Partial; Construction Plan, Bldg. 159‐water shows a water line entering room 159‐L Women, the size of the water line (Domestic Cold Water) is not shown.

Detail A1 (B159 Riser‐Water) on drawing P‐703 does not show this branch of pipe which connects to the existing water line. What size pipe is this incoming water line?

SECTION 01 91 00.15 20 Page 9

3.6.1 Test Scheduling and Coordination

Conduct Initial Functional Performance Tests as soon as all contract work is completed, regardless of the season. Develop and implement means of artificial loading to demonstrate, to a reasonable level of confidence, the ability of the HVAC systems to handle peak seasonal loads. Schedule Functional Performance Tests for each system only after the Certificate of Readiness has been approved by the Government for the system. Correct all deficiencies identified through any prior review, inspection, or test activity before the start of Functional Performance Tests.

Functional Performance Tests and Integrated Systems Tests must be performed with the CxC present. Government reserves the right to witness all tests. Coordinate test schedule with Government representatives.

3.6.2 Testing Procedures

Functional performance testing is conducted by simulating conditions at control devices to initiate a control system response. Over-writing control input values through the control system is not allowed unless approved by the Contracting Officer. Do not simulate conditions when damage to the system or building may result.

Follow the Functional Performance Test from the approved Final Construction Phase Commissioning Plan. Perform Functional Performance Tests for each item of equipment and each system required to be commissioned. Verify all sensor calibrations, control responses, safeties, interlocks, operating modes, sequences of operation, capacities, lighting levels, and all other performance requirements comply with contract, regardless of the specific items listed within the checklists provided. In general, testing must progress from equipment or components to subsystems to systems to interlocks and connections between systems.

Commissioning Specialists are responsible for determining the order of components and systems to be tested. Indicate validation of each item of equipment and systems tested by signature of each commissioning team member for each test. The Quality Control Representative, Commissioning Specialists, and Contracting Officer's Representative, if present, must indicate validation after the equipment and systems are free of deficiencies.

3.6.3 Integrated Systems Tests

Follow the Integrated Systems Test Checklists from the approved Final Construction Phase Commissioning Plan. Integrated Systems Tests must be performed for the interactive operation between systems such as HVAC systems, fire protection systems, back-up electrical supply, energy generation systems, and other systems, and verify correct interactive operation, acceptable speed of response, and other contract requirements for both normal and failure modes. Examples of Integrated Systems Tests include the correct operation of HVAC systems during emergency system activation, correct operation of uninterruptible power supplies or energy generators and connected systems, or lighting system operation during power outage or emergency system activation.

3.6.4 Sample Strategy

Perform Functional Performance Tests and Integrated Systems Tests for all systems and equipment to be commissioned using the sample strategy identified herein. Complete a Functional Performance Test Checklist for

SECTION 01 91 00.15 20 Page 10 each item of equipment or system to be tested. For sample sizes less than 100 percent for similar equipment, the Contracting Officer's Representative reserves the right to select the specific equipment or system to be tested during testing. Perform Integrated Systems Tests for all systems and equipment having interactive operation. Complete an Integrated Systems Test Checklist for each item of equipment or system.

Test all central plant equipment, primary air handling units, and process cooling or heating equipment. Test all system-level equipment serving multiple zones. Twenty percent sample testing is allowed for large groups of identical equipment with identical controllers serving single zones such as air terminal units, fan coil units, unitary equipment, lighting zones, and plumbing fixtures.

3.6.4.1 100 Percent Sample Procedures

Systems or equipment for which 100 percent sample size are tested fail if one or more of the test procedures results in discovery of a deficiency and the deficiency cannot be resolved within 5 minutes during the test.

Re-test to the extent necessary to confirm that the deficiencies have been corrected without negatively impacting the performance of the rest of the system.

3.6.4.2 Less than 100 Percent Sample Procedures

Randomly test each sample group of identical equipment. Sample size must be at least three units. If 10 percent of the units in the first sample fail the functional performance tests, test a second sample group, the same size as the first sample group. The second sample must not include any units from the first sample group.

If 10 percent of the units in the second sample fail, test all remaining units. If at any point frequent failures occur, and testing becomes more troubleshooting than verification, the CxC may stop the testing and require the contractor to perform and document a checkout of the remaining units prior to continuing functional testing.

3.6.5 Aborted Tests and Re-Testing

Abort any test if any deficiency prevents successful completion of the test or if any required commissioning team member is not present for the test. Re-test after all deficiencies identified during the original test have been corrected. Contracting Officer may withhold payment equivalent to lost time, re-testing, and aborted tests. These costs may include salary, travel costs, and per diem for Government team members.

3.7 TRAINING PLAN

CxC must review the training plan for training associated with the equipment and systems to be commissioned, checking that each plan has the trainer name, trainer contract information, training schedule and location. Submit review at least 30 days prior to the first training event. Incorporate CxC review comments prior to submitting training plan in accordance with Section 01 78 23 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE DATA.
