Questions and Answers Set Three

7. Question: As per SECTION 01 10 10 1.32c, the Government will provide Original lifting eyes and miscellaneous wrenches/ tools supplied by the turbine manufacturer. Can the Government confirm that the lifting device and all lifting hardware as per reference drawing 38688 and 38689 will be made available?

Answer: All lifting devices and hardware on drawings 38688 and 38689 will be made available to the contractor.

8. Question: Can USACE confirm that units G1 and G4 were identical before the uprate of G1?

Answer: All four units were procured in one contract, under the same requirements, manufactured at the same facilities, by the same vendors. The units are essentially alike allowing for minor differences due to the manufacturing techniques used at the time of construction.

9. Question: Will the Freight Elevator be available for use during construction?

Answer: The freight elevator may be used by the Contractor during construction. However, the Government makes no guarantee the elevator will be functioning and available throughout the contract duration. Accordingly, if the elevator fails before or during performance of the contract, such failure will not constitute the basis for a claim by the contractor.

10. Question: Can you give us the extent of the floor protection required?

Answer: Floor protection is required on the assembly bay and generator floor.

11. Question: Will we be allowed to use a lift truck to move material inside the powerhouse?

Answer: Load handling equipment used inside the powerhouse must be submitted for approval. Lift trucks may be allowable provided that they do not exceed the floor loading requirements.

12. Question: Please provide drawings of the CO2 system as installed to understand the allowances given for winding placement.

Answer: Original drawing, 162D598, of CO2 system was added in Amendment 0002.

Answer: A past contract with multiple units would be considered one project for the purposes of the solicitation.

17. Question: Respectfully request a limitation/ cap on FAR 52.211-12 to 10% of the contract value. Respectfully request that FAR 52.242-17 be added to the solicitation.
