(c) The amount of the bid guarantee shall be 20 percent of the bid price or $ 3,000,000, whichever is less.

Please be aware that performance and payment bonds are also required.

QUESTION 10:

CLIN 0016 -- Please confirm the intent of work for this Item. Is the intent to provide a new photo eye to an existing DDC system? Can the building numbers be provided? We believe that both TRANE and SIEMENS control systems are used at Fort Drum. Can the existing control company be identified by building numbers? Can the quantity of exterior lighting circuits per building be given for estimating purposes? It appears several buildings must have multiple circuits.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Refer to Amendment #4 Appendix A.

QUESTION 11:

CLIN 0017 -- Please clarify the intent of work for this item. Are these buildings currently controlled by photo eye? Is the intent to provide and install a new complete DDC system? Is there a specific proprietary system already installed in any of these buildings?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Bid then approval process. Refer to Appendix E Basis of Design, fixtures shall be equal.

QUESTION 13:

For Bid item 0016, will exterior surface run conduit be allowed? Or is it the intent to run all raceways inside the existing building?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Photoeye shall be located on the exterior wall of the mechanical and/or electric room for simplicity. Exterior wall conduit shall be allowed.

QUESTION 14:

Can the Government publish the photometric designs/calculations used for the basis of design?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: No.

QUESTION 15:

Specification Section 01 10 00 3.2.5 discusses Emergency Egress Lighting. Emergency Egress Lighting is not mentioned in the project's Scope of Work. Should the Emergency Egress Lighting be added to the scope of work and if so please provide more specific guidance. It is assumed that the majority of (if not all) locations will not have constant/emergency power, only switched power. This will require adding additional wire to all locations necessary.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: No.

QUESTION 16:

Firstly, as a veteran serving company we have been given quotes on this bid bond that are extremely expensive. Secondly, this bond is not refundable if we are not successful bidder. Nor is it refundable if we are the successful bidder. In addition, we do certainly understand the performance bond requirements. Please clarify the bid bond requirement.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Refer to FAR 52.228-1 Bid Guarantee (Sep 1996). As per the solicitation, outlined in 52.228-1:

(c) The amount of the bid guarantee shall be 20 percent of the bid price or $ 3,000,000, whichever is less.

QUESTION 17:

Does following clause stipulate that the GC, the awarded SDVOSB, must self-perform 40% of the contract? If so, is that 40% of the labor or a combination of labor, equipment, & materials (the total job value)?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: Refer to Amendment #5 - Section 00 72 00 FAR 52.236.1.

QUESTION 18:

On the bid form line item 0016 Photoeye to DDC control after installation of the photocell at the building called out and commissioning of the photocell do we have to verify the DDC system at the building and the mainframe location at 4004?

GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: This item wires in a standard photo eye to the existing DDC control of the lighting contractor. The photo eye itself is standalone device, it is not providing data to the DDC BAS. The only test needed is to have the DDC initiate the lighting circuit ON (with a momentary override) during the day and observe that the photo eye keeps the lights off. A double check is to cover the photo eye and observe that the exterior lights come on. After that is complete, return the DDC control to regular dusk/dawn programming. Access to the DDC control can be via laptop in the building’s mech room or at the T-4004 front end control whichever is easiest.

SECTION 00 72 00 - GENERAL CONDITIONS

The following have been modified:

52.236-1 PERFORMANCE OF WORK BY THE CONTRACTOR (APR 1984)

The Contractor shall perform on the site, and with its own organization, work equivalent to at least fifteen (15) percent of the total amount of work to be performed under the contract. This percentage may be reduced by a supplemental agreement to this contract if, during performing the work, the Contractor requests a reduction and the Contracting Officer determines that the reduction would be to the advantage of the Government.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 DESIGN SUBMITTALS / WORK PLAN

Include all deliverable products and associated support documents described in Part 2 of this specification with each design submittal.

3.2 DESIGN SUBMITTALS PHASES

The stages of design submittals described below define requirements with respect to process and content. Determine how to best plan and execute the design and review process for the project, within the parameters listed below. As a minimum, provide at least one interim design submittal, at least one final design submittal before construction of a design package may proceed, and at least one Design Complete submittal that documents the accepted design.

3.2.1 WORK PLAN

The Work Plan shall consist of the following: verification of site conditions, type of light fixture to be replaced, quantity of lights, DDC and lighting contractor modification required. Submittals for all products. With the inclusion of a detailed integrated schedule.

3.2.2 Interim Design Submittals (PRE-FINAL WORK PLAN)

The interim design submittal should be encompassing the 60% design solution and the 90% design solution. Submit either a single interim design for review, representing a complete package with all design disciplines, or split the interim design into smaller, individual design packages as deemed necessary for fast-track construction purposes. This is not necessarily a hold point for the design process; the Contractor may designate the interim design submittal(s) as a snapshot and proceed with design development at its own risk.

3.2.2.1.1 Interim Design Development Management

Maintain a fully functional configuration management system as described herein to track design revisions, regardless of whether or not there is a need for a formal interim design development review.

3.2.2 Final Design Submissions (FINAL WORK PLAN)

After acceptance of the interim design package, revise the design package to incorporate the comments generated and resolved, perform and document a back-check review and submit the final design package. The final design package includes the 100% design solution for the project.

3.2.3 Design Complete Submittals (WORK PLAN COMPLETE)

After the final design submission and review conference for a design package, revise the design package to incorporate the comments generated and resolved in the final review conferences, perform and document a back-check review and submit the final, design complete documents, which represents released for construction documents.

3.3 DESIGN PLATFORM AND FILE FORMATS

Design the project using the systems and platforms defined below:

3.3.1 PDF

3.5 DESIGN CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT (DCM)

3.5.1 Procedures

Develop and maintain effective, DCM procedures to control and track all revisions to the design documents subsequent to the Interim Design Submission and continuing through submission of the As-Built documents. After the final design is accepted, this process provides control of and documents revisions to the accepted design (See Special Contract Requirement: Deviating From the Accepted Design). Submit the DCM procedures within the Design Quality Control Plan.

a. Include authorities and concurrences in the DCM system to authorize revisions, including documentation as to why the revision is required.

b. An internal system may be used with interactive Government concurrences or the Government's "Dr Checks Design Review and Checking System" may be used.

c. Make the DCM data available to the Government reviewers at all times.

3.5.2 Tracking Design Review Comments

Although an internal system for overall design configuration management is allowed, use the DrChecks Design Review and Checking System to initiate, respond to, resolve and track Government design review comments.

The Government will set up the project in DrChecks. Throughout the design process parties enter, track, and back-check comments using the DrChecks system. Designers of Record annotate comments timely and specifically to indicate exactly the action to be taken or why the action is not required. After the design review conference and prior to the next design submittal for the package, the DORs annotate those comments that require DOR action or design revision to show how and where it has been addressed in the design documents. These procedures are part of the required design configuration management plan. Flag comments considered critical by the conference participants.

3.5.2.1 DrChecks Initial Account Set-Up

Identify a contact person within the office to act as the administrator for all Contractor personnel, including subcontractors, that will be accessing the PROJNET Dr Checks system. Through the Contracting Officer, coordinate with the Project Manager and the District PROJNET administrator for system access, system instruction and comment process instructions.

PROJNET contains an introductory file and other tutorial material that can be accessed once user accounts have been established. Upon log in, select Portals/User Documentation.

3.5.2.2 DrChecks Review Comments

Annotate and resolve all comments prior to the next submittal. Include the DrChecks comments and responses in the design analysis for record in the next design submittal for the package.

a. Upon review of comments prior to the design review conference, the DOR(s) evaluate the comments. Include exactly what action will be taken or why action is not required.

b. After the review conference, the DOR(s) formally respond to each applicable comment in DrChecks a second time, prior to the next submittal, clearly indicating what action was taken and what drawing/spec/analysis changed. Designers of Record are encouraged to directly contact reviewers to discuss and agree to the formal comment responses rather than relying only on DrChecks and review meetings to discuss comments. With the next design submittal, reviewers will back-check answers to the comments against the new submittal, in addition to reviewing additional design work.

c. Clearly annotate in DrChecks those comments that require effort outside the requirements of the contract. Do not proceed with work outside the contract until a modification to the contract is properly executed

3.6 DISCIPLINE DESIGN / WORK PLAN REQUIREMENTS

Provide interim design deliverables that include drawings, submittals, and integrated schedule for the part of design that the Contractor considers ready for review.

a. Drawings: Include comments from any previous design conferences incorporated into the documents to provide an interim design for the feature of work submitted.

3.7 INTERIM DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

At least one interim design submittal, review and review conference is required for each design package (except that the Contractor may, upon Government approval, skip the interim design submission and proceed directly to final design of the sitework and utilities package).

Additional interim design conferences or over-the-shoulder reviews may be scheduled, as needed, to assure continued Government concurrence with the design work. Include the interim submittal review periods and conferences in the Section 01 32 01.00 10 PROJECT SCHEDULE and indicate in periodic schedule updates what part of the design work is at what percentage of completion. See also paragraph INTERIM DESIGN DEVELOPMENT REVIEW WAIVER for a waiver to the formal interim design review.

3.7.1 Submission Review

After receipt of an Interim Design submission, the Government requires 14 calendar days after receipt of the submission to review and comment on the interim design submittal. For smaller design packages, especially those that involve only one or a few separate design disciplines, the parties may agree on a shorter review period or alternative review methods (e.g., over-the -shoulder or electronic file sharing), through the partnering process.

a. For each interim design review submittal, the Contracting Officer will furnish a single consolidated, validated set of comments from the various design sections and from other concerned agencies involved in the review process using the DrChecks Design Review and Checking System. The review will be for conformance with the technical requirements of the Contract.

b. The Government reserves the right to reject design document submittals if comments are deemed significant.

c. Furnish disposition of all comments, in writing, through DrChecks. If there are technical disagreements with any comments, clearly outline, with justification, the reasons for disagreement and noncompliance within five calendar days after receipt of these comments.

d. The Contractor is cautioned that if it believes the action required by any comment exceeds the requirements of this contract, that it should take no action and notify the Contracting Officer in writing immediately.

3.7.2 Interim Review Conference

Hold an Interim Review conference for each design submittal at either the installation or as agreed upon as part of the partnering process. Attendees include, at a minimum, the DOR(s) involved in development of the design submittal. Schedule the conference to take place the week after the receipt of the comments. Notify the Contracting Officer of any comments that with concurrence would require further design development.

For smaller fast-track packages that involve only a few reviewers, the parties may agree to alternative conferencing methods, such as teleconferencing, or televideo, where available, as determined through Partnering.

3.7.3 Conference Documentation

3.7.3.1 Minutes and Comment Process

Provide meeting minutes within two work days after the conference adjourns, and enter final resolution of all comments into DrChecks. Include copies of comments, annotated with comment action agreed on, with the minutes.

a. Resolve issues remaining open after the conference adjourns by immediate follow-on action to close the issue within 30 calendar days.

b. Incorporate comments as agreed upon during the conference.

3.7.3.2 Availability

In order to facilitate the Government code and contract conformance reviews, identify, track resolution of, and maintain all comments and action items generated during the design review process. Make this available to the designers and reviewers prior to the subsequent design reviews.

3.8 FINAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

Provide final design submittals that consist of 100 percent complete drawings, specifications, submittal register, design analyses for Government review and acceptance.

a. Include any permits required by the contract for each package submitted.

b. In order to expedite the final design review, prior to the conference, ensure that the design configuration management data and all review comment resolutions are up-to-date.

c. Perform independent technical reviews and back-checks of previous comment resolutions, as required by Section 01 45 00.00 10 QUALITY CONTROL.

3.8.1 Design Drawings

Submit drawings complete with all contract requirements incorporated into the documents to provide a 100 percent design for each package submitted.

3.8.2 Submittal Register

Provide an updated, cumulative submittal register with each design package that identifies the design and construction submittals required by that design package.

3.9 DESIGN COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS

After the Final Design Submission and Review Conference, revise the design documents for the design package to incorporate the comments generated and resolved in the final review conference. Perform and document a back-check review and submit the final, design complete documents. The deliverable includes all documentation and supporting design analysis in final form, as well as the final review comments, disposition and the back-check. As part of the quality assurance process, the Government may perform a review of the released for construction documentation. Promptly correct any errors or omissions found during the Government review.

3.10 ACCEPTANCE AND RELEASE FOR CONSTRUCTION

After acceptance of the Design Complete Construction Document(s) the Contracting Officer will allow construction to start for that design package.

Government review and acceptance of design submittals is for contract conformance only and does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility to fully adhere to the requirements of the contract, including the Contractor's accepted proposal, or limit the Contractor's responsibility of design as prescribed under Special Contract Requirement: "Responsibility of the Contractor for Design" or limit the Government's rights under the terms of the contract. The Government reserves the right to rescind inadvertent acceptance of design submittals containing contract deviations not separately and expressly identified in the submittal for Government consideration and approval.
