Request for Information: W50S8521B0014 (answers in red)
1. In the spec, we found that both replacing and retrofitting fixtures are called out. How would you like us to proceed (Replace or Retro‐Fit?) Replacing will be more energy efficient and easier to install.
Replacing of the light fixtures is the way to proceed.
2. In regards to the emergency fixtures would you like a package to maintain them or cross reference, upgrade, and replace?
The recessed ceiling (troffer and can) emergency lighting shall be replaced one for one. The exit lights and wall mounted emergency lighting are not in the scope of work for this project.
3. Which buy American Act are we complying with?
Please refer to the clause at 52.225‐9 BUY AMERICAN—CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (FEB 2021) for the domestic material requirements of this contract
4. Do the lights need to be replaced only in building 825?
*I ask because the map seems to show multiple locations. YES ONLY B 825
5.Do you know how many lights that are needing to be replaced? Not exact numbers but we did do a count internally. Get a count from the schedules and that is the intent to the bidders would do the same.
6. Can this be sub-contracted? Subcontracting is not forbidden within the limits of the contract terms and conditions to include 52.219-14 LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING (DEVIATION 2020-O0008) (MAR 2020)
7. If so, is there special ID or procedures needed to access the base? Yes the procedures are similar to gaining access for the pre bid site visit and the bid opening: Process a base access form and try to ensure that the workers on the form have a clean criminal background and don't bring contraband onto the Base.
