1.2 SCOPE OF WORK

The work to be performed under this contract consist of furnishing all labor, material and equipment and performing all work in strict accordance with application plans and specifications.

1.3 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

This contract is for the replacement of the Area Lighting System (ALS), work will be performed with limited interruption of the existing ALS functions and with limited interruptions of the normal site operations. The concept is to place a new pole as close as possible to the wooden pole being replaced, this allows for connecting the new pole to the same location in the ALS network. During the connection of the steel pole to the ALS it is acceptable to remove the wood pole from the ALS to permit utilization of the existing power conductors. Once the new steel pole is connected, then the wood pole can be disposed of. Underground cabling is not required unless the contractor damages the existing underground network or other cabling. Installation is to be complete within 90 days of execution. If additional time is need due to concrete curing it will be annotated in contractor proposal. The contractor will have a fluent English speaker on site, but may have a limited level English speaker on site if a fluent English speaker is readily available by phone.

Specifications:

1. Install 18 new poles rated for local wind max gusts and continuous wind load plus 20%. Poles must also be rated for local environment conditions such as but not limited to temperature, soil conditions, solar exposure and seismic activity.

2. Top of pole, including foundations, will be minimal of 8.2m, but no more than 8.5m from ground level.

3. The new poles will allow for the attachment of the existing ALS light fixture mounting cross arm at a point

0.6m from the top of the pole. Photos of cross arm are available upon request. Note the pole mounting brace is 12.8 cm diameter.

4. New poles will be placed as close as possible to existing wood poles, but not further then 2m centered.

5. Special care to avoid underground cables or water lines will be taken. This will require use of cable and or metal detection equipment.

6. In the case that the existing underground cabling is damaged by the contractor, the contractor will repair by way of proper COR approved splicing techniques.

7. The bond between the new steel pole and the existing grounding grid will be exothermically welded or bolted using appropriate bolts, clamps and or terminations that are required for connections between the copper ground cables. If mechanical bonding is used it must be exposed so that it may be inspected by the government.

8. Once the replacement pole is connected to the ALS grid the old wood pole will be removed.

9. Old wood poles can be ether cut off at ground level or pulled from ground if done so without effecting surrounding facilities or underground cables or pipes. Any damages and or filling/compacting of holes will be the responsibility of contractor.

10. Disposal of old wool poles will be the responsibility of contractor.

11. Steel poles and all mounting hardware will be corrosion resistant and or will be treated with appropriate corrosion inhibitors. Ground bonds will not be painted, but will be treated if need be.

a. Panel cabinet will have and be installed to a minimal of IP54 enclosure rating.

b. The panel cabinet will have an IP54 panel cover that allows easy of access to light fixture circuit breakers but does not expose power connection bus when opened.

c. All cables in will be at the bottom or low on the sides of cabinet and use cable glands that will maintain IP 54 rating of cabinet.

d. Each pole panel will have a connection bus to allow for a 5 wire 16mm2 (3 phases, Neutral and a ground) power feed in and 5 wire 16mm2 ( 3 phases, Neutral and a ground) power feed out and tap to support for 4 each C16 two pole breaker. One for each light fixture. Photos available upon request. The configuration will have two phases having one light fixture and one will have two light fixtures. The phase with two light fixtures will be rotated between light poles. Thus giving relative phase balance for each ALS circuit.

e. New pole panel will be mounted 1 to 1.5 m above ground level, but can be mounted lower if existing power cable is to short.

f. The contractor will install a 2.5mm2 single phase circuit from new pole panel up the pole to each light fixture. 2.5 mm2 cables will be rated for full exposure.

g. The contractor will connect in the existing 5 wire 16mm2 light circuit power cable. This connection will have one in a one out except for the last pole on that circuit.

h. There may be one ALS pole panel that may have a requirement for one 5x16mm2 cable in and two 5x16mm2 cable out.

52.215-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION (JAN 2004)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

“Discussions” are negotiations that occur after establishment of the competitive range that may, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, result in the offeror being allowed to revise its proposal.

“In writing or written” means any worded or numbered expression which can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.

“Proposal modification” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

“Proposal revision” is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations.

“Time”, if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day.

(b) Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the amendment(s).

(c) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals. (1) Unless other methods (e.g., electronic commerce or facsimile) are permitted in the solicitation, proposals and modifications to proposals shall be submitted in paper media in sealed envelopes or packages (i) addressed to the office specified in the solicitation, and (ii) showing the time and date specified for receipt, the solicitation number, and the name and address of the offeror.

Offerors using commercial carriers should ensure that the proposal is marked on the outermost wrapper with the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this provision.

(2) The first page of the proposal must show--

(i) The solicitation number;

(ii) The name, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

(iii) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and agreement to furnish any or all items upon which prices are offered at the price set opposite each item;

(iv) Names, titles, and telephone and facsimile numbers (and electronic addresses if available) of persons authorized to negotiate on the offeror's behalf with the Government in connection with this solicitation; and

(v) Name, title, and signature of person authorized to sign the proposal. Proposals signed by an agent shall be accompanied by evidence of that agent's authority, unless that evidence has been previously furnished to the issuing office.

(3) Submission, modification, or revision, of proposals.

(i) Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any modifications, or revisions, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that proposal or revision is due.

(ii)(A) Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(1) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or

(2) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(3) It is the only proposal received.

(B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally.
