About this file
This is a Responses to Request for Information (RFI) document for solicitation W91151-26-B-A009, addressing clarifications and questions regarding the Building 36000 2nd Floor Reconfiguration project at Fort Hood, Texas. The document provides authoritative answers from the government to 14 questions submitted by potential bidders concerning project specifications, site conditions, and technical requirements.
Key clarifications include: existing flooring shall remain in areas without specification; the contractor is responsible for furniture removal and disposal; no elevator access is available; construction areas will be within an occupied facility with restricted access; existing fire alarm and sprinkler systems shall be reused with components relocated as needed; batt insulation may be substituted for spray foam in wall Type B; commissioning is required for all mechanical systems; hazmat materials must be abated rather than encapsulated; both TAB testing and DALT testing are required for mechanical systems and new ductwork; walls to be demolished are non-load bearing and do not require structural engineer-designed shoring; and existing CAD drawings and calculations for fire and suppression systems are not available. The project consists of reconfiguring the 2nd Floor to function as a conference room suite through demolition and construction of walls, doors, electrical systems, mechanical ductwork, plumbing fixtures, and adjustment of fire suppression and alarm systems. This is a 100% Certified Women Owned Small Business Set Aside under NAICS 236220 with an estimated procurement value between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.
