RFI QUESTIONS/ ANSWERS TO W911SG19B0005

3. Will pictures of panels be provided for those located in restricted areas that the site visit didn’t cover?

Answer: Yes, pictures of all panels and fuse disconnects that are to be replaced have been sent to MICC to distribute.

4. Will night and weekend work be permitted with escorts?

Answer: Night work will not be allowed. Weekend work must be coordinated through the COR in advance, will be by exception and will only be approved as needed when the work cannot be accomplished during the week.

5. What is the process for gaining access to restricted areas over the course of the project?

Answer: Once contractor/subcontractor personnel receive approval from WSMR Garrison Security to enter the installation, the building user will perform additional screening and place personnel on an approved access list. The building user will provide escort(s) for them when working in and around Building 25900 at no cost to the Contractor. They will be allowed to work only in a few areas at one time and no more than two escorts will be available at any one time. Personnel will not be allowed into the work area without being on the building’s approved access list. Deliveries of materials do not have to meet this requirement.

6. Will we be able to access the site from the Oro Grande gate?

Answer: Yes, the contractor awarded the contract will be able to access the site from the Oro Grande gate, but contractor/subcontractor personnel must first go through WSMR’s Garrison Security process to enter the installation.

8. Will there be times during the project that will have no access to the facility? If so, what kind of time frames can be expected?

Answer: The contractor/subcontractors might not have access to the facility and/or government escorts may not be available to support during Federal holidays. The contractor must stay current on road block information affecting access to the facility by calling Range Control. The contractor is responsible for accurately documenting on the project’s daily reports installation/ building access that is directly impacted by road blocks.

9. How much notice does the user require for outages?

Answer: The contractor shall coordinate with the COR to inform the building user about outages at least two weeks in advance, and will include in the information provided the areas that are to be affected along with the panels and room numbers that will be worked on.

The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining all required licenses and permits to perform construction work on a Federal installation, and be properly bonded and insured in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements. The intent of the contract is to provide for the construction and completion of the work described. The precise details of performing the work are not stipulated except as considered essential for the successful completion of the work. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, material, equipment, tools, transportation, and supplies necessary to complete the work according to the contract.

Evaluate and correct according to NEC 2017 Code, discovered electrical distribution panels within the electrical interior of B-25900 known as AMRAD (Air Munitions Requirements & Development Committee). The distribution panels have exceeded their life expectancy and are not safe to operate and protect the tenants and existing equipment at building 25900 from Arc Flash and electrocution.

1.1.1 RODENT DROPPINGS:

1.1.1.1 The terminal compartment of the existing 1500 kVA pad, mechanical room, ceiling tiles, and other areas throughout 25900 is contaminated with rodent droppings. Rodents on White Sands Missile Range may carry the Hantavirus. Hantavirus Survey No. 18-RF-666-97, conducted by U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine on White Sands Missile Range 4-8 April 1997, identified the rodent species, Peromyscus Boylii (common name: Brush Mouse) as a carrier of the Hantavirus.

The Hantavirus may be transmitted to humans when exposed to infected rodents. Exposures may include: breathing in the virus. This may happen when rodent urine and droppings containing Hantavirus are stirred up into the air. Touching eyes, nose or mouth after touching rodent droppings, urine, or nesting materials that contain the virus. A bite from an infected rodent.

Persons infected with the Hantavirus may develop Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). HPS is a severe, sometimes fatal, respiratory disease. Anyone who comes into contact with rodents or rodent contaminated materials that carry Hantavirus, without proper protection, are at risk of developing HPS.

HPS is not spread from person to person.

Based on the rodent droppings remediation specification (provided as a separate attachment), provide rodent dropping remediation work including the handling and control of rodent contaminated materials and the resultant procedures and equipment required to protect workers, the environment and occupants of the building or area, or both, from contact with rodent dropping products. The work also includes the disposal of any rodent droppings and contaminated materials generated by the work.

The rodent dropping removal work includes the disinfection or sanitizing of surfaces contaminated by rodent droppings and contaminated materials. Provide containment and engineering control techniques as outlined in the rodent droppings specification. All rodent dropping and contaminated materials removal work shall be supervised by a biohazard remediation supervisor as specified in the specification.
