The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0001

The purpose of this amendment is to:

1. Respond to PPIs

2. Solicitation Revisions

3. Revise FAR 52.236-27 Site Visit Instructions

1. Responses to PPIs

1. Inquiry: (Reference: Page 10 of 53; Section 2 Basis for Award; Para. 2.1.5) In Factor 1, experience on page 10 of 53, it says “Projects submitted for the Offeror shall be completed within the past ten (10) years of the date of issuance of this RFP”. Since the last power plant built, PP III, was done 12 years ago, can you consider extending this relevancy of projects to within 15 Years?

Response: See Amendment detail below.

2. Inquiry: (Reference: Section Drawing No: GI-003) At DWG GI-003 states that there are two project comprimising the total solicitation: P332 and P334. We understand hatches for P332 and P334 given in drawing GI003 corresponds to pricing clins at price schedule. As an example, Power Plant building will be embedded under Base Clin-1a and site work for P334 (including bu not limited to new fuel farm) will be embedded under Clin-5 Option-4. In order to avoid any confusion please confirm.

Response: Drawing GI-003 does not necessarily correspond to pricing clins in the price schedule or as specific limits of construction for either MILCON. The intent of drawing GI-003 is to provide a general overview and representation of the two MILCONs upon completion of construction and to work with Spec Section 01 14 00 described construction activities. The contractor is to interpret the complete construction document package as a whole with respect to construction scope alignment to the clin structure.

With that understanding, the P332 Power Plant building is included in the construction scope of CLIN 1a. The P334 site work is included in the construction scope of CLIN 5 Option 4.

3. Inquiry: (Section MEP Specifications) UL listed materials has been defined at MEP specs sections part 2 . However asper sections 1.4.3 and 1.4.3.1 alternative products allowed to be used. ''1.4.3 Standard Products Provide materials and equipment that are products of manufacturersregularly engaged in the production of such products which are of equal material, design and workmanship and:

a. Have been in satisfactory commercial or industrial use for 2 yearsprior to bid opening including applications of equipment and materialsunder similar circumstances and of similar size.

b. Have been on sale on the commercial market through advertisements, manufacturers' catalogs, or brochures during the 2-year period.

c. Where two or more items of the same class of equipment are required, provide products of a single manufacturer; however, the component parts of the item need not be the products of the same manufacturer unless stated in this section.

1.4.3.1 Alternative Qualifications

Products having less than a 2-year field service record will be acceptable if a certified record of satisfactory field operation for not less than 6000 hours, exclusive of the manufacturers' factory or laboratory tests, is furnished.'' Please kindly confirm European standarts such as IEC , DN etc can be used ?

Response: Where UL listed standards are referenced in the specifications, the design intent is to not limit products or equipment to US standards. The Alternative Qualifications paragraph referenced is applicable to all products and equipment and European construction standards are acceptable.

4. Inquiry: (Section MP-706) As per DWG #MP-706 LUBE OIL SYSTEM/COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM P&ID , COMPRESSED AIR SKID (BY VENDOR) will be supplied by vendor. Please kindly send clarification about scope ? Will government provide the compressor or not ?

Response: On P&ID Drawing MP706 the compressed air skid is a vendor provided delegated design to be installed per the construction drawings. Refer to the drawings for details on the pre-assembled vendor provided compressed air skid to be supplied per the construction documents.

5. Inquiry: (Section Structural Steel Drawings) Steel profiles are given as US type steel profiles.

Since this project is not located inside USA, and the project place is more closer to European countries, for being cost efficient please kindly confirm EN compliant equivalent steel profiles will also be acceptable.

Response: The decision was made during design, as directed/concurred by NAVFAC LANT, to use US shapes for steel. EN shapes are not directly equivalent, and structural elements would need to be re-analyzed to provide EN sizing. Recommend maintaining US sizes.

6. Inquiry: (Reference: Page Drawing CD101, CD102) Reference to Civil Drawings, Drawings CD101 and CD102, please confirm that the required demolition work is included under line item 1.
