17 Please provide a list of Government- Furnished/Contractor-Installed equipment to be installed under this contract, if applicable.

Not applicable.

18 The Statement of Work states:

“Contractor shall apply fundamental RED/BLACK mitigation in accordance with applicable document (8).” However, Section 3.0 identifies document 8 as UFC 3-110-03 Roofing, with Change 5, dated 12 June 2020. Please confirm whether this is the correct reference, or provide the correct referenced document.

The correct reference is applicable document (16).

19 Section 4.4.7 requires phone lines to each office space. Please confirm the number of office spaces within the facility.

There are 11 "office spaces" requiring phones. One of those areas has three +/- 66 sf cubicles where each cubicle will require a phone. One additional phone will be required for facilitiy visitors. As stated in response to RFI

#12, the Contractor must provide no less than 14 voice outlets.

20 The Statement of Work states that, in addition to standard BLACK power, each workstation shall include one duplex RED power outlet. Please confirm whether this requirement applies to telecommunications/TEMPEST requirements only, or to all workstations.

This applies to workstations subject to TEMPEST requirements only.

Yes, the project requires medium-voltage electrical distribution and a pad-mounted transformer to feed the new building.

22 Please provide a site plan showing the project location, electric utility connection points, and existing electrical utilities.

See revised site utility plan.

Attachment 11.

23 Please provide a site plan showing the project location, Buildings 111 and 104, fiber connection points, and existing telecommunication utilities.

30 we would like to understand what is driving the requirement for the panel manufacturer to hold an FCL at the Top Secret level

The TS FCL is a requirement in the Construction Security Plan that has been approved by the Navy as part of the planning process. It must remain for us to gain accreditation at the completion of the project.

31 Could you please confirm whether the modular SCIF is required to incorporate ballistic-resistant (bullet-resistant) construction?
