RFI Responses 8 JUN 26.pdf

No Question Response

Interested parties should see “Instructions to Offers” in the Provisions and Clauses document for details on how to submit your quotes (IAW 52.212-1).

There is no actual information on how the proposal is to be submitted, yet in the SAM Notice, it states “subject of your email should be similar to the following:

Quote Submission by Company XXXXX, Solicitation Number W50S8A26QA010”.

Are we to assume that proposal submission is to be emailed?

Yes. Please submit your responses via email, but the response date to matthew.r.lapointe.civ@army.mil and casey.a.pridham.mil@army.mil

2 Will there be a site visit to view the equipment that needs to be replaced?

On May 14th the Government Amended W50S8A26QA010 to include a site visit that was held at 1:00PM on 21 May 26.

What would the process be for getting access onto the base for a site visit if one is held?

Amendment 1, posted on 14 May 26, specified that those interested in attending the site visit where to email Casey Pridham and Matthew Lapointe by 19 May.

4 Will photos be allowed of the current equipment if there is a site visit? The Government did permit photos at the site visit.

It is stated that funds are not currently available for this project, when is the expected funds anticipated to be available for this project? Funds will be available for this project at the time of award.

Would there be a tonnage range the government would consider usable for this project, example- 25 ton - 40 ton chiller is acceptable depending on availability of what is currently available for purchase on the market.

This was actually a miscalculation. Upon further investigation the Chiller is a 70-ton unit consisting of two 20-ton modules and two 15 ton modules.

7 Would a used (past rental) chiller be acceptable for install?

The Government is NOT able to accept used/reburnished equipment for this project.

Section 5.12 speaks to replacing all HVAC controllers in the building. How many controllers are there and what do they control?

There are 24 Controllers. They control the following: Units RTU-1, Zone Dampers, UH-1, UH-2 UH-3abc, UH-3def, Bath, CUH-1, CUH-2, Office, EF1a, EF1b, AHU1-4, VFD(s)1-4, Chiller, HW Pumps, DHW -1, DHW -2

Section 5.12 states: No part of the existing controlled HVAC system shall be transferred to the new controls server with associated graphics. Is this statement correct and if it is then why would new controllers be needed on equipment in the building?

This section has a verbiage error. The Scheider BMS we wish to upgrade to requires Schneider controllers to communicate. The new chiller and existing associated air handling equipment, control valves, and sensing circuits need to be integrated into the Schneider BMS.

Section 5.13- Please provide all of the information required to be matched up from the old chiller in this section for the new chiller specs.

Suggest contacting AirStack. Serial Numbers on modules are - JE-09-75 // JE-09-77 and JE-12-62

Will an extension of the time frame for completion be available if a new chiller cannot be delivered in the time frame stated in the solicitation?

The Government will review and consider any requests to extend the performance period on a case-by-case basis.

12 From what we can determine, there is no SF1449, SF18, nor price sheet. Will any of these documents be provided?

The Government released W50S8A26QA010 as a combined synopsis/solicitation and does not use the SF1449 IAW FAR 12.603(b). Also note that the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) permits agencies to utilize broad discretion in posting requirements, that utilize simplified procedures, by authorizing the use of "similar agency/automated format(s)" in RFO FAR 12.201-1(c). Consequently, the Government will not provide an SF1449, SF18, or pricing sheet.
