The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question (1) Drawing E1.1: Is directional boring an approved method to install conduits from Xcel utility transformer to Site Panel MDP1, and power conduits from Site Panel- MDP1 to SP-A, if schedule 80 PVC is used?

(A1) Government Response: No, all underground power must be in concrete encased ductbank due to the typical heavy vehicular traffic and frequent moving and storage of heavy container units in all exterior areas of the RTS- Med complex. Directional boring is not approved because it does not provide adequate structural protection for the heavy vehicular traffic and heavy container units. Refer to Specifications and Drawings dated August 2020.

Question (2) Drawing E1.5: On drawing E1.5 detail 5, the bollards are shown as 8”, on E1.5 detail 6 the bollards are shown as 6”. Please clarify.

(A2) Government Response: The minimum required diameter of a typical bollard is 6 inches. Refer to Specifications and Drawings dated August 2020.

Question (3) Drawing E1.5: On drawing E1.5 detail 5, the bollards are shown as “typical of 4”. Please indicate the location of the other two bollards.

(A3) Government Response: The site power service entrance requires a minimum of two bollards to the front as shown in detail 5 (typical of 2). Refer to Specifications and Drawings dated August 2020.

Question (4) Specification Section 01 10 10, page 11: Is the scale house at Ft. McCoy available to use for weighing material takes to the recycle center?

(A4) Government Response: Yes, when the scale house is open and available for use at Fort McCoy then the Contractor may weighing materials for recycling.

Question (5) Specification Section 26 05 34, page 4: On page 26 05 34-4 (F), will type NEMA 1 enclosures instead of Type 12 be accepted in interior locations?

(A5) Government Response: NO. NEMA 12 enclosures, panelboards, and switches are required in compliance with Specifications and Drawings dated August 2020. Do not use NEMA 1 enclosures, switches or panelboards for this project.

For clarification, there are hazardous gases, fumes, dust and substances inside maintenance bay areas and there is a high level of heavy vehicular traffic in the RTS-Med complex in large, unpaved dusty areas which generates increased levels of dust and heavy particulates around the maintenance facilities inside the complex.

Question (6) Specification Section 26 13 01, page 3: On page 26 13 01-3 (C), will type NEMA 1 switches instead of Type 12 be accepted in interior locations?

(A6) Government Response: NO. Provide NEMA 12 switches, panelboards and enclosures in compliance with

Specifications and Drawings dated August 2020. Refer to (A5) Government Response above.

Question (7) Specification Section 26 24 16, page 3: On page 26 24 16-3 (A), will type NEMA 1 panelboards instead of Type 12 be accepted in Building 10007?

(A7) Government Response: NO. Provide NEMA 12 panelboards, enclosures and switches in compliance with Specifications and Drawings dated August 2020. Refer to (A5) Government Response above.

For further clarification regarding routing of power: For conduits routed from the top side of the new MDP to power stations, provide an appropriately sized and fire rated ceiling access above the MDP in the Building 10007 Mechanical Room ceiling including a fire rated, hinged type access door with locking mechanism and fire rated sealant (refer to Specifications and Drawings dated August 2020).

Question (8) Specification Section 33 05 10, page 2: Please indicate number and location of grounding anode rods for locating required in Section 33 05 10.

(A8) Government Response: The final quantity and location of grounding anode rods must be determined by the Contractor in compliance with the Specifications. For clarification, an electrician or manufacturer authorized field installer must install the tracer wire systems including all connected components and coordinate the work to determine the final quantity and locations of grounding anode rods (refer to Specifications dated August 2020). Per Section 33 05 10 Paragraph 3.03 F. (all), grounding wire and anode rods are required at all pipe or dead ends, transitions from metallic to non-metallic piping, stub ups, and at access points.

Question (9) Drawing E1.5: Is mounting service equipment and disconnects to the outside wall of B10000 and 10000A rather than on equipment support structures, acceptable?

(A9) Government Response: At Building 10000A / Training Yard ‘A’, all exterior equipment including panelboards and power stations are required to be securely affixed to the exterior wall using appropriate materials and methods. At the site power service entrance SP-MDP1, the 800 amp site power service entrance including metering equipment may be mounted on the equipment support structure as shown on Drawings or a structurally equivalent support structure on the exterior wall of Building 10000 at the same location per site plan drawing E1.1.

If the exterior building wall is selected for the equipment support structure, the Contractor must submit all backboards, equipment, supports, anchors, and materials used to provide structural support for Government review and the Contractor is responsible to verify the exterior building wall is structurally adequate to support the total weight of all service entrance and metering equipment. The exterior location of the site power service entrance must remain the same. Refer to Specifications and Drawings dated August 2020.

Question (10) Spec 26 05 33 page 4 and Drawing 1.1 Note 5: Section 26 05 33 states "Schedule 80 PVC extra heavy duty type conduit for all exterior underground installations not protected in concrete encased ductbank."

Drawing E1.1 General Note 5 states "All underground conduit must be in concrete encased ductbank due to heavy vehicular traffic." Please clarify.

(A10) Government Response: Concrete encased ductbank is required for all underground power. Refer to Specifications and Drawings dated August 2020 (revised per Government Responses to contractor questions).

Question (11) Can a regular furnace condensate pump be used to pump water over doorway back into existing drain?

(A11) Government Response: There is not any requirement in this project for a furnace condensate pump. This question is not relevant to the “RTS-Med Upgrade Power” project.

Question (12) Would material compliant with FAR 52-225-11 “Buy American” be acceptable for this contract?

(A12) Government Response: All provisions and clauses within this solicitation apply and any equipment and materials used must be compliant with all provisions and clauses including the requirements specified in the

Specifications and Drawings.
