QUESTIONS FROM INDUSTRY

W91151-17-B-0005 Repair Mechanical Systems

Building 1001, Fort Hood, Texas Questions from Industry

April 4, 2017

1. The performance period is noted as 165 calendar days. Half of that will be taken up by submittal approval and fabrication. Each of the four air handlers has to be installed one at a time. Each one needs to be fully operational before the next can be taken down. The performance period is too short. Recommend 300 days. Contract duration to be extended to 210 days plus 30 days for processing of award.

Solicitation page 3 of 60 CLIN 0002 Contractor Manpower Reporting. What is this? We have tried to access the website from the web access shown. Both the “US Army CMRA Help and Definitions” and the “View an on line demo” prompt a “Cannot reach this page” response. Why is there a cost associated with it? Please disregard CLIN 0002 Contractor Manpower Reporting (CMR), this line will be deleted prior to award..

2. Clauses incorporated by full Text: page 13 of 60 in the Solicitation: Cost Limitations: It states that limitations are stated in the schedule. What schedule is this? It is not included in the construction documents. The schedule is located on page 3 of 60. If there is no cost limitation stated on under CLIN 0001 then this does not apply to this solicitation. DFARS 252.236-7006, COST LIMITATION is a required provision to allow the Government to call out any cost limitations as needed.

3. Page 36 of 60 of the Solicitation “Buy American Supplies” (c) Offerors may obtain from the Contracting officer a list of foreign articles that the Contracting Officer will treat as domestic for this contract. Can you issue this list, please? FAR Clause 52.225-1 BUY AMERICAN-SUPPLIES will be omitted from this solicitation.

4. Sheet MH111 has a sheet note symbol with a 6 in it in room 127 but there is no description for it at the sheet notes. There is an error, the note symbol with #6 shall be removed and replaced with note symbol #3.

5. Solicitation page 7 of 60 – Submission of bids: “The offeror shall submit a bid that provides a complete line item breakout of tasks, quantities, and unit prices, that reflects the complete work effort required by the contract”. Why is this necessary in a project that is being bid by a large group of Contractors? Not everyone has a seat for RS Means. Also, what method would they use, Overhead and Profit? Bare Costs?

City Cost Index? Coefficients? The subcontractor numbers come in barely in time to get the bid together for submission. There is no time to prepare or coordinate the estimate with the subcontractors’ bids. We can understand this need for the line item back up for sole source projects but not for open bids. Can this be waived, please? This requirement will not be waived. Please submit a complete line item breakout to support your overall bid.

6. During the site visit we did not get into every room to investigate what devices are embedded in the ceiling, such as sprinkler heads that may have to be capped to prevent a flood in case they are broken, mass notification and fire alarm devices mounted in the ceilings, light fixtures to be supported while ceiling is being replaced, smoke detectors, speakers, etc. Room 185 comes to mind. The user would not let us in.

Room 185 will not be occupied during construction. The COR will coordinate with the user to ensure this room and other affected areas are ready for construction when contract is awarded.

The contractor will be responsible to field verify all surrounding and concealed items prior to demolition.

All items damaged during demolition that are to remain will be the responsibilities of the contractor to repair to the original state. (See notes on sheet A-001 to A-116 for ceiling repair and replacement.)

7. The project requires that any work outside of the mechanical rooms will have to be done after hours. Will there be government security during after-hours work to safeguard the areas?

After-hours work and all work will need to be coordinated with the COR. The bldg. is critical and cannot be shut down. Construction outside mechanical rooms during normal hours will not be allowed. Therefore, weekends and after-hours work outside the bldg. will be permitted through the COR. The contractor will be responsible to secure the construction areas as mentioned in the scope of work.

8. Most of the rooms visited, where above ceiling work will be required, are full of furniture and equipment.

Furniture can be moved around a bit to gain entry but the contractors cannot be responsible for the computers, printers and other expensive equipment that is in the rooms. The User will have to remove these items.

All work will be coordinated with the COR. The users will only be responsible to move their computers and other electronic devices. Contractor will be responsible for moving around furniture and place it back in original place when work is complete.

9. Confirm that any ruts made in the grassed areas outside, caused by the lifting equipment used while installing in the air handlers, will need to be repaired. Yes. Contractor will be responsible to repair any damages or ruts made in the grassed areas outside the bldg.

10. Per Observation on Job Walk, it was noticed that the existing floor mounted air handling units have external isolation on air handling units. The new air handling units will come with internal vibration isolation on the fan section itself. Please confirm that external isolation is not required if complete fan section is isolated and meets the requirements of note # 7 on M-0002 and Section 23 05 48.00 40/ Paragraph 2.2.10?

It is acceptable to use internal isolation provided it meets the requirements of the specifications.

11. Would Government like an extended compressor warranty? If so, parts only or parts and labor? It is recommended to do parts and labor to a betterment for the government for the duration of the warranty so that there are no procurement hoops to jump through something where to happen after the 1st year warranty period.

Warranty requirements should comply with the project specifications.

12. The scope of work for this project requires the controls contractor to tie new controllers onto an existing building network. In order to do this, the controls contractor will need to be provided with the current LNS database for the building once the contract has been awarded.

Contractor will be responsible for installing and programming new DDC controllers for the equipment installed on this contract. Contractor shall connect to the existing LON Trunk. If there are existing network points necessary to complete the controls on this contract (i.e. outside air temp, occupancy, etc.), the contractor will need to provide new devices on this contract and not expect to receive data via the existing LON network. At the conclusion of construction, the contractor shall provide the government with all software/databases (in accordance with the specifications) to allow for future integration of new controllers into the existing building network (by others). At that time, any duplicate network points will be consolidated (by others).

Please confirm that the DDC Control Data base can be accessible during construction to ensure that connecting everything back to the Lon Truck is correct and able to be tested?

See above response.

13. The design drawings call for some of the new equipment to be shut down by an ATFP emergency shutdown button. Clarification is needed as to whether this will be a new ATFP shut down button for just these units or if these units will need to be shut down but an existing shut down push button(s). If these units will tie into existing buttons, it is requested that the control contractor be provided with information regarding where these points are terminated and what SNVTs are used to achieve this shutdown.

A new emergency shutdown button will be installed in the 1st Floor bldg. supervisor’s office that will shut down the AHU’s installed on this contract.

14. Please confirm if there are any ATFP requirements during the period of the mechanical room exterior walls/windows being removed? If all the work cannot be completed in one day is there anything that needs to be done with except of temporary plywood or something of this sort to secure exterior wall?

The contractor will be responsible to secure the exterior wall/windows being removed as stated in the drawings.

15. New Drawings call for all shut-off valves to be replaced at each air handler. Can the new shut-offs go after existing one and existing valve be abandoned in place or would the Government prefer the lines be frozen and valve removed being that we cannot shutdown the complete system of the building? Please advise. Existing shutoff (isolation) valves may be installed after the existing valves and existing valves may be abandoned in place.

16. Is commissioning required on the new work only or any other equipment/systems in the building not being worked on? Commissioning will be required on new work only.

17. Is Test and Balance required on new work only or any other equipment/systems in the building not being worked on? Test and Balance will be required on the new and existing equipment in the entire 1st floor of the bldg.

18. On the test and balance of the air handlers, are we balancing just the new air handling units or does there need to be a grille to grille balance. If needs to be grille to grille, can the government confirm that we shall assume that all required balancing devices are installed and present? Yes. Test and Balance is required for the entire 1st floor of the building to include grille to grille balance.

19. Please post the pre-bid/site visit sign in sheet on FBO. The pre-bid/site visit sign sheet is not required to be posted to FBO.

20. Please furnish fire sprinkler “as built” drawings. We need to know what areas are covered by fire suppression risers in case we have to cut off the water to cap sprinkler heads.

As-built drawings for the existing fire sprinkler system will be provided, but the government will not be responsible if there is any discrepancy in the as-built or the as-built doesn’t match the existing. The contractor shall field verify sprinkler system prior to any demolition.

21. Please provide a spec on the metal ceiling tiles to be replaced in the auditorium/conference room 108.

Contractor shall match existing for the metal ceiling tiles - 24’’x 24’’ perforated metal pans with black acoustical liners.

22. Sheet A-111 states that existing ceiling tile is Armstrong Cirrus. It was noticed during the site visit that the existing ceiling tile is mostly fissured tile. Please advice what type of ceiling tile is required to be installed in the rooms where the ceilings are to be replace – those marked as 1 on the sheet notes?

As stated in the drawings; replacement ceiling shall match existing (grid and tiles)

23. Will underground site survey be marked to locate irrigation sprinkler system or other utilities in the exterior landscaped areas to be crossed to get access for the air handlers?

Contractor shall apply for and obtain a dig permit from DPW dig permit office for this project prior to any type of soil penetration or use of lifting equipment. All utility outages shall be scheduled through the COR.

24. Confirm that any damage to landscaped areas caused by cranes or other lifting equipment needs to be repaired.

Yes, the contractor will be responsible to repair any damage to the landscaped areas caused by cranes or other lifting equipment.

25. Will landscape irrigation be disabled during construction?

All work shall be Coordinated with the COR.

26. Sheet M-002 General Note 11, “Provide 20 temporary plug in type heating/cooling units….” Will condenser discharge heat be required to be ducted to the exterior of the building or is above ceiling ok?
