Q&A_Pool Chiller H9224025R0003 Pool Chiller Lease and Services Q&A
| Number | Question | Answer |
| 1 | Will the chiller remain onsite for the full five consecutive years? | Yes the intent is for the equipment to remain onsite for the length of the contract. |
| 2 | Does the chiller need to be mobilized inside the facility and installed periodically, or will it function as a stationary unit throughout the contract term? | Mobilized and installed periodically. Physical movmeent of equipment conducted by military personnel. All conections, set up, turn on, supervision done by contractors from start until pool has reached desired temp. Will require 3-4 contractors. |
| 3 | Is there an incumbent contractor currently providing this service? If so, could you kindly share the contract number or other relevant details? | For previous contract H9224020D0004, the incumbent contract is Carrier Rental Systems, Inc, CAGE 6FPD6, 7016 W Van Buren Phoenix, AZ 85043-3306. |
| 4 | Can you provide the size and specifications of the chiller currently in use to help ensure compatibility and operational continuity? | Pool Chiller Carrier Systems Model no: 30XAB30XAB20069-04S53, 30XAB20269-06S63, 30XAB20669-04S53. |
| 5 | Can you provide a detailed description of the expected maintenance schedule and scope (e.g., preventative vs. corrective)? | IAW owners manual of contracted equipment, done by the contractor. Only maintence conducted by military personnel is a daily visiual inspection to ensure no leaking HAZMAT. |
| 6 | Are there existing constraints at the installation site, such as space limitations or access restrictions? | Access is a WCM compound and will require escorts and information for site visits sent ahead. The required information will be sent at the time of award. No space limitations. |
| 7 | Is this tank/pool indoor or an outdoor pool? | Indoor pool however, high bay door will be required to stay open during pool chiller operations exposing pool to outdoor environment . |
| 8 | It says the pool is 300,000gallons. Can you provide the surface area, or length, width and depths of the pool to calculate chilling capacity? | Pool is 20 feet wide, 20 feet deep, and 90 feet in length. |
| 9 | The PWS states our system has to be "stand alone", and not utilize the existing filtration system piping. Does the pool setup have a surge tank we can pull our intake water from for our stand alone pump? | Intake water for the chiller comes directly from the pool via PVC pipe. |
| 10 | The PWS states our system has to be "stand alone", and not utilize the existing filtration system piping. Are we able to tie into the existing return line via a pvc tee with isolation valve, or how does NAVFAC want us to best pump in the chilled water to the tank/pool? | No you cannot tie into the filtration system. This system is not through NAVFAC, it's through the company Carrier. NAVFAC plays zero part and has no input to pool chiller operations. Intake from the pool is what the contractor sets up via PVC pipe because connection, either direct or indirect to existing systems will void NAVFAC's ability to conduct any maintenance on the pool or associated systems. |
| 11 | How much space will be allowed to store/stage out chillers, pump and piping systems, and will it be indoor, outdoor, or outdoor and covered? | Stored outdoors, chiller cannot be covered. Space available is 32 acres of government property only limited by length of hoses and cabaling. |
| 12 | In the documents it asks for a annual cost? |
Are you looking for a monthly cost to rent the equipment JAN-DEC? The ELIN pricing sheet is established to calculate a total cost; meaning if it is $1,000 per mont the rent the equipment then the total unit price would be $12,000, as the rental will be done on a yearly basis. The anticipated Period of Peformance is noted in the RFP document.
As ELIN A0002 it should equate to the Offeror's price for an individual visit in accordance with the PWS. Meaning each time a new Task Order is awarded for On-site Maintenance that unit price equates to the cost of that visit.
| 13 | The rental period is listed as 46 days for each use and intended to be used once maybe twice a year? | Correct, historical usage has been 1 time per year and not more than 2. But based on it being maintained on compound, we would intend to reserve the right to increase that if operational requirements dictate the necessity. |
| 14 | Has pool water been changed I was under the impression that it was a salt water. | It's been fresh water since at least 2015. |
