SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 16-Jul-2018 04:30 PM to 26-Jul-2018 04:30 PM.

SECTION C - DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The following have been added by full text:

CONTRACTOR QUESTIONS

1. Is it the government’s intent to have the contractor pick up and move the GFE to 31-630?

Answer: Yes, it will be contractor’s responsibility to pick-up and move the GFE to 31-630.

2. What is the government looking for as the design portion of this solicitation?

Answer: The contractor is responsible for providing a complete system that will flow from one operation to the next. Specific items included but not be limited to are: the design of the conveyor feeding the bag opener; the HC Attrition Mill to transfer Drum Feed system; Installation of the double cone mixer; platform for the mixer; Drum Dumper System; Feed system between the drum dumper and the mixer and the fire protection system.

3. Are we just to turn in design specs on equipment purchased?

Answer: The contractor should write a complete proposal that includes how he intends to meet each and every requirement of the specification and drawings. The contractor should include as part of his proposal the design specs on the equipment that he will be providing.

4. Are the parts readily available commercially for the equipment made by Pine

Bluff?

Answer: Parts should be readily available.

5. The 220 days did that account for any parts that can’t be purchased off the shelf for the equipment?

Answer: The 220 days does take into account the long lead time items that are to be provided by the contractor.

6. If reverse engineering is involved is the government going to a lot that time?

Answer: There should be no reverse engineering required for this project.

7. Will the government accept different name brand equipment for the fire alarm than specified or does it have to be that specific equipment?

Answer: While the Det-Tronics System has been established as the standard for what PBA is installing in its production facilities, PBA is willing to consider any product equal to the Brand Name. However, if the contractor is going to propose anything other than the desired system, then express approval must be obtained in advance. If the contractor offers the Brand Name system, no advance approval is required.

8. As part of the refurbish part of the equipment is the equipment to be condition new or condition fit form and function?

Answer: The equipment is to be fit form and function. Contractor is to do the refurbishment that is called out specifically in the specification and then anything else to make the equipment operational.

9. If a Mod becomes necessary at any time during the project is that time to be added to the period of performance without liquidated damages?

Answer: Additional time is typically negotiated as part of the modification process.

Furthermore, under the excusable delay rules, any excusable delay is not held against the contractor.

10. During the RFI phase of the solicitation I submitted the 1200 series of conductive flooring. At that time I was sent a change of suggested materials that reflected that Milamar met the criteria and would be included in the final solicitation. Is there a reason that Milimar was not included?

Answer: This material was reviewed after the question was raised in the RFI phase of the solicitation and was found to be acceptable. The specification was supposed to be modified to include this material but somehow the change did make it into the final copy of the specification. Therefore the final sentence of paragraph 3.3.8.2.j of the specification is to be replaced with the following sentence.

“Suggested materials for conductive flooring: (Dex-0-Tex Conductive Neotex - 367; Crossfield Products or General Polymer 3524 epoxy conductive primer sealer, and top coat 3525E static control epoxy coating) or (Milamar Coatings ICO Gel to repair any cracks and spalled concrete, then Milamar Coatings ICO Floor SL to level the floor, then Milamar Coatings 1200 CS Primer, then the grounding plates, then Milamar Coatings 1200 Ground Plane and then Milamar

Coatings 12100 ESD topcoat all applied in accordance with Milamar Coatings ESD Static Control Flooring Installation Guide).”

11. Who has the existing Controls? (How do they want the temperature controlled?

By chilled water valve or by fan on/off?) Will the control contractor be able to integrate into the existing system and provide your request for complete control operation?

Answer: Trane 's Tracer Summit is the control system. The contractor will be able to integrate into the existing system. The HVAC controls provided by the contractor shall include everything outside of the tracer summit control unit.

12. Explosion Proofing? Actuators for dampers/sensors

Answer: We need the diverter (splitter dampers) actuators and sensors on the vacuum and dust collection Class II Div1 if it is electrical. Pneumatic actuators can be used. The diverter for the a/c unit doesn’t need to be rated, and all sensors and electrical equipment in the bay area shall be NEMA 4.

13. Does the existing dust collection system/vacuum system require any kind of cleaning? Is there any residue left of what was being collected before? Was the dust being collected before explosive? If so who is responsible for cleaning if required?

Answer: The dust collection and vacuum systems do require cleaning. There is most likely explosive dust lining the pipes in the current system. Not sure who is required to clean them for construction.

14. Are the splitter dampers for the HVAC/duct collection/vacuum duct to be manually operated or motorized? If motorized explosion proof?

Answer: See answer 2.

15. If dampers are manually operated how would you suggest the humidity be turned off as required? (switch or sensors)

Answer: Actuated diverter and diverter position selector switch shall be connected to and controlled by the existing controls.

16. On the HVAC duct the prints call for a 2 position 3 way diverter, is air supposed to be able to go down both trunk lines at one time or is one system to have a trunk line closed and the opposite trunk line open? Could you give more detail on your intent of the operation? What is the CFM/static of the existing duct system?

Answer: The diverter needs to deliver 100% of the air to one line or the other. We will not have both lines running at the same time. There are 2 production lines in the building and we will not be using the HVAC for both at any given time.

17. Regarding the HC Bag Opener Feed Conveyor. What is the length and width of the bags? What cleat centers do you need on the incline conveyor? Do you know what height cleat is required for the bags at 30° incline? 1 1/2" high cleat is the standard.

Answer: The bags are about 30" Long and 20" Wide. The cleat centers need to be about 3 feet apart. Standard 1 1/2" high cleats will be fine.

18. Referring to Section B - Supplies or Services and Prices Item No. 0001AE (pg. 5 of 50 in solicitation) We don't see an Appendix III. - Contractor shall provide FFP for (7) contract data requirements as listed in the specification Appendix III Could you verify and confirm what they are talking about for this?

Answer: Yes, Appendix III contains the seven (7) CDRLs. That is all.
