The following items are applicable to this modification:

Q & A FROM 28 JAN SITE VISIT

1. Is it the Government’s intention to eliminate the existing Excess Pressure Pumps for all the existing systems listed in the RFP?

RESPONSE: All excess pressure pumps listed on Table 2.2 in the Statement of Work require removal.

2. Follow up to question #1. If yes! Is it the governments intent to also remove all the existing Excess Pressure switches & to remove the points for the fire alarm program?

RESPONSE: Yes. Removal of excess pressure pumps shall include excess pressure switches and associated alarm points in the Fire Alarm Control Panel. Existing low pressure switches to remain.

3. Follow up to question #2. If Yes! Can the old Modules; from the excess pressure switches, be used to monitor the newly installed Tamper Switches?

RESPONSE: If permitted by NFPA 70 and NFPA 72, reuse of existing monitoring modules in the Fire Alarm Control Panel and field is acceptable to the Government. However, the Contractor shall be responsible for verifying compatibility with new valve tamper switches prior to ordering any material. Additionally, each individual valve tamper switch shall have its own unique point in the fire alarm system and may not be terminated on a common monitoring module with other valve tamper switches.

4. Is it the Government’s intention to install new tamper switches on only newly installed shut-off valves (OS&Y/Butterfly) on the risers listed in the scope, or all newly installed valves & existing OS&Y valves, including valves on risers not listed in the scope? i.e., PNBC Bldg. #4-There are (2) Dry risers that have OS&Y valves without tampers; (1) in North Mech. Rm. & (1) in South Mech. Also, there are (2) riser manifold OS&Y valves; (1) in each Mech. Rm.

RESPONSE: All valves listed in Table 2.2 of the Statement of Work require a tamper switch. Valves not indicated and listed on Table 2.2 do not require tamper switches and are not a part of this work.

5. RE: PNBC Bldg. #77L Riser #41-There is a relatively new Alarm Valve already installed at this location. Is it the governments intention to only remove the excess Pressure Pump & install a new shut-off valve with tamper at this location?

RESPONSE: Per Table 2.2 of the Statement of Work, Riser #41 in Bldg 77L does not require a new alarm check valve.

6. Is it the Government’s intention to maintain Water Motor Gong operations at all risers, listed in scope?

RESPONSE: All water gongs identified in Table 2.2 shall be removed and disposed of in accordance with all requirements detailed in the Statement of Work.

7. Is there a remedy; in the contract or needed; if existing shut-off &/or PIV valves, do not produce a positive shut down to a rise &/or bldg.?

RESPONSE: In the event that shut-off and/or Post Indicating Valve (PIV) does not provide an isolated condition such that riser repairs can begin, an alternative riser shall be repaired to prevent cost and schedule impacts to the Contractor and its subcontractors. The Contractor shall redirect their efforts to the next riser on the Project Schedule until the Government remedies any isolation issues. Any cost and/or schedule impacts due to an issue with isolating a riser must be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer within 24 hours of identifying the impact.

8. In Bldg. #77L all the Risers have 360-degree loop installed before the alarm valve. Can it be removed & a straight vertical section of pipe be installed in its place, if possible?

RESPONSE: Piping loop configuration consisting of four (4) 90-degree bends (herein called “offset loop”) prior to the alarm check valves in Building 77L (on Risers 41, 42, 43, and 174) can be removed and replaced with straight vertical sections of piping. Historically, these piping offset loops were used to support backflow preventers which are no longer required due to upstream backflow prevention.

Where installed on the offset loop, the OS&Y isolation valves are still required but may be installed in-line with a new straight length of pipe. The contractor shall be responsible for all accessories and components as necessary for a complete and usable installation.

End Questions and Answers

The following sentence (IN RED) has been added to the end of SOW Paragraph 1.5 Execution of Work.

Where work on a riser or fire alarm component requires any utilities or building systems to be de-energized, that work shall be performed off duty hours from 1700-0500 Monday through Friday. This includes, but is not limited to, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, pressurized piping systems, electrical panels and substations.

CLIN 0001 includes eleven (11) risers and OPTION CLIN 0002 includes five (5) risers. All sixteen (16) risers in the scope of this work are wet sprinkler systems. In general, work includes the replacement, installation, reconfiguration, and/or removal of alarm check valves, isolation valves, excess pressure pumps, water gongs and retard chambers, piping, drain lines, low-voltage alarm components, and trim piping components. At the completion of the work, the system shall be inspected and tested for proper operation. The Contractor shall provide all supervision, labor, material, equipment and supplies to perform the work. Refer to SOW Section 2 for a more detailed description of work to be performed.

1.2 SITE LOCATION: The work is located in Bldgs. 4, 77L, 77H, and 756 that are US Navy owned buildings occupied by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD) at PNBC. See Attachment 1 for locations of buildings applicable to the work detailed herein. Building 4 is located at 5001 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19112. The building was originally constructed circa 1880 and underwent a major renovation circa 1980 that created useable space within the original structure commonly referred to as the “in-fill area.” Building 4 is 210,000 gross square feet and is occupied by about 1,000 personnel. Building 77L is located at 1000 Kitty Hawk Ave, Philadelphia PA 19112. The building was constructed in 1918 and is approximately 140,000 gross square feet. The primary use of the building is office space for research and engineering professionals. Building 77H is physically attached to Bldg. 77L and has a street address of 901 Admiral Peary Way, Philadelphia, PA 19112. The building was also constructed in 1918 with a total footprint of 170,814 gross square feet. The primary use of the building is Research, Development, Testing & Evaluation (RDT&E) laboratories and research and engineering office spaces. Building 756 is a building constructed in 1945 that is physically attached to Bldgs. 77H and 87 while simultaneously acting as a connector building between the two facilities. Building 756 has no separate street address from Bldg. 77H or 87 but is located at approximately 901 Admiral Peary Way, Philadelphia, PA 19112. The building is 13,614 gross square feet and primarily houses RDT&E laboratories and engineering office spaces.

2.0 SECTION 2: DETAILED DESCRIPTION

2.1 INTRODUCTION: The fire suppression sprinkler systems in Bldgs. 4, 77L, 77H, and 756 have riser components that are approaching the end of their service life or are no longer required and require replacement or removal, respectively. These components include alarm check valves, Outside Stem & Yolk (OS&Y) indicating valves, drain valves, piping components, excess pressure pumps, fire alarm monitoring and reporting devices, and trim piping associated with the risers. Additionally, components of the system require new fire alarm reporting components when modified to meet current code requirements. The location of each riser where work will be performed is shown on Attachment 6.

Award will be made on the total of CLIN 0001.

The Government reserves the unilateral right to award OPTION CLIN 0002 to the Contractor at the proposed price within 60 calendar days after the contract award or prior to demolition, whichever comes first. Award of OPTION CLIN 0002 extends the contract completion date by 30 calendar days upon award of the option for the work associated with CLIN 0002 only.
