Comment Classification: UNCLASSIFIED (U)

I see that drawings are to be done by the contractor and are to be submitted prior to work. But the big question is where are the drawings that are to be used as a starting point? Are they CAD drawings? If just hard copies do drawings that are submitted need to be CAD'd? Do they have a standard installation example? Are test switches required? Are the relays to be powered from Breaker DC? Do they require separate fusing?

So many of my questions would be answered if you discover there are detailed drawings of each cubicle showing the 751's installed, but I don't think they exist. Although I don't see where it is explicitly stated, this sounds like a "design/build" project but with the government providing the basic component (the SEL 751 relays).

On: Aug 26 2019.

Government Response. . Revised scope of work will be incorporated via amendment to clarify drawing requirements.

Relay product data and instruction manuals will be incorporated via amendment.

The contract is still considered a design-bid-build contract; however, there are portions of the contract that are performance-based such as, but not limited to, the shop drawings of the modified one-line diagrams and any modification or additional enclosures that would be required to install the relays in the existing switchgear enclosures.
