W912NW23R0009 Ques�ons and Answers

The solicita�on men�ons a site visit but no date was men�oned. Is there a site visit currently scheduled? If so, when? Yes an Amendment was put out with the date of the site visit on August 21, 2023

2.4.1. “The Contractor shall install a reverse osmosis/de-ionized (RO/DI) Water System. The Contractor shall provide plumbing from the RO/DI water systems in the u�lity room to provide drops for equipment as listed in this document. The Contractor shall provide a suitable connec�on between the drop and the machine tank. The Contractor shall provide a manual valve before this connec�on point at an appropriate height. The plumbing and valve material shall be suitable for DI/RO water systems.” Is the new RO/DI system to be located in the u�lity room of building 1700.2? Yes.

2.4.2. “The Contractor shall �e into exis�ng B1700.2 DI Supply and Return lines. The Contractor shall use manual valves at the connec�on of the RO/DI system to the building supply and return lines as well as between building lines.” Is the new RO/DI system intended to replace the exis�ng RO/DI System or operate alongside of exis�ng system to provide addi�onal capacity to what is already there? Operate along side.

If the new system is intended to replace the existing system, are there any requirements for the contractor to demo/remove the existing system? Do not remove the old system.

If there is a requirement to demo/remove the existing system is the contractor required to palatize and/or move it, or will the government take possession as is where is upon removal? Do not remove the old system.

Does the contractor need to provide a new holding tank, or can the existing holding tank be reused? SOW 2.4.4.3, 5th Bullet: “Feeds 2 qty 1500 gallon storage poly tank: High and low level sending units, internal circulating system, tanks to be tied together to create one 3000 gallon storage, Contractor may use existing 1500 gallon poly tank currently on site.”

Finally, we interpret this requirement to mean the governments wants the supply and return loop extended from building 1700.2 into building 1700.3 with the new machine drops tapped into the new section of the supply loop. Is this correct, or does the government want the individual machine drops to tap directly into the existing 1700.2 supply line? If the requirement is to extend the 1700.2 supply and return loop into 1700.3 is the new section of the loop intended to solely supply the equipment identified in this SOW, or should provisions be made for future expansion into other areas of building 1700.3? Supply and return loop in 1700.3 is required, it will branch off from the existing 1700.2 loop and be similar in shape. Verbiage is being drawn up to be more specific and soon will be reflected in SOW.

Under the specific instructions for submission of Part II Technical Proposal in paragraph (a) says, “The offeror shall submit an executive summary, no more than 30 pages in length, describing in enough detail how it will meet requirements of the SOW. A limit of 6 pages per the 5 sections that makes 30 pages total. Sections to be addressed 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5.” However, the Statement of Work does not include a section 2.5. Is there something specific the government

W912NW23R0009 Ques�ons and Answers would like respondents to address in our technical proposals other than sections 2.1. Immersion Cleaning System, 2.2. Pressure Washing Systems, 2.3. Wastewater Minimization System, and

2.4. Reverse Osmosis/De‐Ionized (RO/DI) water system? There is not a 2.5 it was a typo and it is still a 30 limit.
