6. The following questions and their responses are provided:

Question #1: Paragraph 3.1.4 Install new water heater system. 2 storage tanks and 2 lochinvar condensing water heaters. Is it the intent to produce and store 120 degree water in one system and produce and store 140 degree in the other? Or is it the intent to produce and store 140 degree in both tanks and utilize a mixing valve to temper the water to 120 degrees for the domestic supply?

Answer #1: Both tanks will store 140 degree water and a mixing valve will be used to supply the 120 degree water.

Question #2: Does the 45 Days for project completion include the lead time of the equipment? ASME tanks are required to be certified which could take longer and therefore the winning contractor might need longer than 45 days.

Answer #2: The Lochinvar equipment is currently available. The tanks are constructed in accordance with the ASME Section IV standard.

Question #3: Can the government provide the As-Built drawings for this project?

Answer #3: Will provide, if available.

Question #4: Is the intent that the water heaters will set on the floor or on a newly installed pad upon completion of this project?

Answer #4: The water heaters can be set directly on the floor.

Question #5: My interpretation of the SOW is to replace 2 existing hot water building recirculation pumps. Also to be included in the proposal is 2 water heater circulators as shown on the Lochinvar DH DT AWN 501 installation manual. I understand that there will be a total of 4 circulators 2 building, and 2 heater circulators. Is this correct?

Answer #5: Correct. Please note that Lochinvar heaters come with a water heater circulator pump.

Question #6: Is a cost breakdown description of materials and labor required for backup, or does the Government only want the Bid Schedule? If the breakdown is required then is subcontractor breakdowns required as well?

Answer #6: Please provide the cost breakdown description of materials and labor and for subcontractor if applicable. Also, please use the attached revised Bid Schedule when submitting your proposal.
