PRE-BID CONFERENCE ATTENDEES

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

CECT-SAS 25 October 2011

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

SUBJECT: Minutes of Pre-proposal Conference held for Main Circuit Breaker/Static Frequency Converter Installation and Excitation System Replacement, Richard B. Russell Power Plant, Elberton County, Georgia

1. On Tuesday October 18, 2011, a pre proposal conference was conducted for the subject project. The list of attendees is included in Amendment 0001 to the solicitation.

Attending the pre proposal conference on behalf of the Government were representatives from Contracting Division, Construction Division Fort Gordon Area Office, Russell Project, Hydropower Technical Center, and the Hydroelectric Design Center.

2. At 0900 the contractors and Government personnel met at the Russell power plant, introductions were made, and the Contractors were asked to submit on paper any questions they had brought with them regarding the project.

3. Attendees then broke up into three groups and toured the equipment and installation locations of the powerhouse. Contractors were instructed to write down any questions that came up during the walk through and submit them when we returned to the conference room. During the walk through, the group(s) had several questions with the most significant being the isophase bus supply. Not everyone understood that this solicitation required the contractor to supply new isophase bus, rather than providing the option to refurbish the existing bus in our warehouse.

4. The groups reconvened at 1145 at the project office where several additional questions from the groups were received. After collecting all of the contractor questions in writing, Government personnel addressed the questions and advised the group that the official questions and answers would be posted in an amendment to the solicitation. There were three significant questions brought up by the contractors:

a. Clarification of the isophase bus supply. We had removed the option to refurbish the existing isophase bus from this project however all references to this were not deleted in the specifications. This resulted in some confusion among the contractors.

However, this was clarified on Projnet last week and will be clarified in the Amendment 0001 to the solicitation.

b. The contract duration was not clear to several contractors. Although the maximum duration of 533 days is referenced in Section M, Factor 2 – Contract Duration and Summary Schedule of the solicitation, the duration is also being added to Section L in FAR clause 52.211-10 – Commencement, Prosecution and Completion of Work through Amendment 0001.

c. At least one contractor expressed concern over the bonding requirements of this project. Specifically, the Corps is requiring bonding for only the construction portion of the work which pertains to CLINS 0012, 0013 & 0024 of the bid schedule and is relatively minor compared to the entire project requirement. The issue brought up by the contractor was that their bonding firm would not allow bonding for only part of the contract and they were going to have to bond the full amount of their proposal. It has been determined by the Contracting Officer there will be no change to this requirement. Any contractor interested in submitting a proposal for this proposal may either (1) submit the REQUIRED bonding for the construction CLINS 0012, 0013 & 0024, or (2) may submit bonding for the entire amount of their proposal if required by their bonding company. Also see FAR 52.228-1 - Bid Guarantee, and 52.228-15 Performance & Payment Bonds Clause of the solicitation.

d. During the question/answer period several of the contractor expressed concern over the proposal due date of November 7, 2011. The primary concern was that the information provided by the contract drawings was not detailed enough to develop an accurate proposal for some elements of the job (mainly isophase bus supply), and that they would need to make further measurements to develop their proposals. Beyond this concern several contractors stated that additional time may be required to develop accurate bids due to the unique nature of this project and the equipment being installed. Approximately half of the contractors present voiced concerns over the proposal due date. As a result the proposal due date has been extended to December 1, 2011.

5. The final item covered in the pre-proposal conference meeting was a quick run through of important submission requirements, contract clauses, and other contract administration items by the Contracting Officer.

6. The site visit was concluded at approximately 1330.

7. Written questions and answers from the conference are as follows:

Q1. Eaton Corporation: Please confirm that the project is requiring complete “new purchase” of all isophase bus. When will the specification be changed?

A1. This project requires new contractor furnished isophase bus. The option to refurbish existing government furnished isophase bus has been deleted. However, several references to refurbishment of existing isophase bus were unintentionally left in the specifications. The government is working to remove all references to refurbishment under an amendment to this solicitation.

Q2. Crowder Construction Company: Reference section 01 11 10 pages 4 and 5 “Government furnished equipment” paragraph 1.8.1 and “Government furnished cable and raceway” paragraph 1.8.2. a. Are we to use this equipment, cable, and raceway? b.

Is all other equipment, cable, and raceway not on this list provided by the contractor?

A2. a. The equipment, cable, and raceway listed in Section 01 11 10 paragraphs 1.8.1 and

1.8.2 is available for use by the contractor but the government is not mandating its use.

Q3. J.L. Malone: Who provides the crane operator? The specifications indicate that the government does but this is unusual.

A3: The contractor shall provide the crane operator. The contractor's crane operator shall be certified in operation of the type of crane at Russell and will be required to demonstrate proficiency to government prior to initially operating the crane. The specifications will be updated to include this language.

Q4 J.L. Malone: There is specification for seismic restraint design. The types of anchors are specified for floor, wall, and ceiling anchors. In order for an engineer to design seismic restraints the structural drawings will need to be made available pre-bid. Or can we install the same restraints in the field that are existing?

A4: It is the responsibility of the contractor to limit the design of seismic restraints to the equipment, bus work and supports, conduit, and cable tray being installed.

Considerations for seismic design of the powerhouse structure are not required and are not necessary for anchoring equipment.

Q5: J.L. Malone: Are there any floor loading restraints to be aware of when moving some of the heavy equipment?

A5: On EL 350, there is a load restraint between the parking curbs at service bays and the powerhouse (120 psf). Otherwise there is no loading restraint for moving the breakers and isophase bus. Note, there were restraints on moving the input and output transformers but since they are already installed this should not be an issue.

Q6: Has the government completed 100% of the interface design for the government furnished equipment?

A6: The government has provided point-to-point interface drawings as part of the solicitation. It is the contractor’s responsibility to field verify this information.

Q7: CE Power: To protect from rust and corrosion have the space heaters been in operation in the excitation systems and excitation transformers?

A7: No. However, the excitation equipment has been stored in the climate controlled powerhouse since it was delivered. The government believes that the equipment is in excellent condition with no rust or corrosion.

Q8: J.L. Malone: According to conversation in our group it seems that the IPB is to be all new and the contractor will not be responsible for hauling off GFE IPB in warehouses or on the floor. Is this correct?

A8: This is correct. The contractor will provide new isolated phase bus for this contract and is not responsible for hauling off the existing GFE IPB that the government initially purchased for this work. However, the contractor is responsible for disposing of any of the existing in service IPB that is removed as part of the breaker and SFC installation.

The government will update the language in the specifications to clarify this.

Q9: Warranty on government furnished equipment.

A9: There is no warranty associated with the government furnished equipment.

However, the contractor is responsible for workmanship and the equipment the contractor provides.

Q10: Are the switches and relays used back?

A10: Yes, the current switches and relays in the main control board are to be used where indicated on the contract drawings. Additionally, the contractor will have to add new switches and relays where none currently exist as indicated in the specifications.

Q11: Insulating, burden and accuracy rating on the CTs?

A11: There are no CTs to be provided in this contract. All CTs are existing and/or government-furnished in the equipment.

Q12: Will they be allowed to have outage when working around overhead powerhouse lines?

A12: Outages on the powerhouse line will be allowed when required to safely accomplish portions of the work. These outages must be scheduled in advance and kept to a minimal duration since each powerhouse line serves multiple generating units. Note that Powerhouse Line 3 is shared by Transformer 3 and 4. Each of these transformers can be isolated from the powerhouse line so we do not foresee any outages being necessary for Powerhouse Line 3.

Q13: Do the OCBs contain PCBs?

A13: No, random samples have been taken and test results are onsite. No PCBs were found.

Q14: Can the contractor return to the plant for bus work measurements?

A14: Yes, please contact J. Palmer to schedule an appointment.
