Solicitation W91238-15-Q-0064 LED Lighting at USACE Lakes

1. Most of this work will be completed outside of the normal work hours listed in the PWS. Do we need to make special arrangements? Are their additional costs for those special arrangements on the part of the USACE?

a. It states specifically in the PWS that no work will be conducted outside of normal work hours (0730 – 1600), except for testing and report creation. No work shall be performed outside of these hours or unless prior arrangements are made with and approved by the Park Manager at that facility.

2. I see (6) fixtures at Isabella Dam, but I don’t see a bid item for these. Please clarify.

a. Isabella is not part of this contract.

3. From these aerial photos, it is difficult to tell if the existing fixtures are wall packs, canopy lights, floods, or what. Would you have any pictures of the fixtures themselves, or the buildings they are going on, to see what we would need to assume for a replacement? Is there a fixture list to go along with the fixture count, so we would know what the existing wattages are at each of these facilities? Can we get access to these sites prior to placing a bid?

a. Please reference the spreadsheet. With a short turn-around time, access with not be available prior to placing a bid.

4. 2’ and 4’ bulbs are mentioned; first are the counts there for how many fixtures there are or the # of bulbs (they may be single bulb fixtures or 2/3/4 bulbs per fixture) and second are they interior or exterior and if exterior are they in wet listed/vapor tight fixtures?

a. Please reference the spreadsheet.

5. As per the new UFC 503 (June ’15) we are no longer allowed to retrofit 2’ and 4’ fixtures with LED bulbs so these will have to be new fixtures (unless the bulb is listed by DLC as a fixture, very few)

a. Please reference the spreadsheet. While the PWS notes that every attempt be made to preserve existing poles, housing, fixtures, it is understood that some fixtures may require full replacement.

6. Isabella Dam, Pine Flat & Terminus Dam are in the drawing docs but not listed as a line item in the SOW/PWS.

a. Isabella, Pine Flat and Terminus Dam are not part of this contract.

7. Slide 25 – is the camera separate or integrated into the existing fixture?

a. Camera is its own separate unit. It is not integrated into the fixture.
