SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been added by full text:

QUESTIONS

QUESTION 1

On the bid documents for Emsworth Locks ARC Flash Study, two lines are provided for pricing.

One each for the Back and Main Channel. What I am not finding it the price line for the required ARC Flash training. Would you like that pricing incorporated into each of the back and main pricing or would it be acceptable to add antoehr line into the documents to place the Arc Flash training pricing?

ANSWER 1

The pricing for the required ARC Flash training will be incorporated into the exisiting line items.

QUESTION 2

Per the above listed solicitation, It appears that the SKM file is a deliverable. Most major testing companies (such as Siemens, etc.) take exception to this for two reasons. First off it is their IP. Second and more importantly is that there is some risk there. If somebody uses their files to perform additional arc flash calculations in the future, and they do it incorrectly, they hold some liability toward that. Internally when they update they control the process, but if a third party is using that they do not. So it abates any risk there, and they normally do not distribute our model.

Please advise if the SKM files is indeed required as a deliverable.

ANSWER 2

The SKM study files are required as a deliverable as stated in the statement of work.

QUESTION 3

… has a highly qualified electrical engineer, P.E. who has extensive arc flash hazard study experience but with another engineering firm. … arc flash studies experience is demonstrated

W911WN-15-T-0020

over the course of 5 years as opposed to the requested 2 years. Would this disqualify… as a candidate for further consideration?

ANSWER 3

No. The intent here is to have individuals with "demonstrated experience" in performing these types of power studies. Qualifications of the individual(s) performing the studies are typically provided/included with the proposal.
