IFB Elevator Services– Q & A #2
Date: February 13, 2025
To: All Bidders for IFB – Switchgear Maintenance
| From: | Department of General Services |
| Office of Business and Acquisition Services (OBAS) |
Subject: IFB Switchgear Maintenance – Questions and Answers
As of February 6, 2025, OBAS received on behalf of Facilities Management Division the following questions (Q) and is providing the following answers (A):
Q1: Under Exhibit A, section 4, it states the following: "contractor shall perform all services in accordance with California Code of Regulations, Title 24, California Building Standards Code and NFPA 70E. All testing shall be performed under the direction of NETA and NICET certified personnel." However, only a NETA-certified company can perform NETA testing. And you're not calling out for the need of that certification. Also, it is beyond rare to have a NETA-certified company that also has a C-10 license.
A1: The requirement of all testing shall be performed under the direction of NETA and NICET certified personnel will be removed from IFB, Attachment 10, Exhibit A, Section 4(A). An addendum will be posted.
Q2: Under Exhibit A, section 6, subsection D, it calls for primary injection testing of molded case circuit breakers. Is there a current minimum on which breakers you want tested (i.e. Test 100A and larger?)?
A2: Pursuant to the molded case breaker test reports, the current minimum is 15 amp. A copy of the molded case breaker test reports will be provided.
