A1: 10” X 30” X 36” stainless steel junction boxes mounted on building 700, one for Comm. and one for Electric.

Unknown Mfg. Submit approved equal on form AF3000.

Q2: The description of work states that the electrical feed requires [2] 2-1/2” conduits with [4] 4/0 conductors and [4] #4awg ground conductors. Is this correct?

A2: 4 inch conduits shall be used for both Electrical and Comm. conduits shall have four one inch inner duct in them the full length of the duct bank. Interior conduit shall be metal and underground shall be Schedule 80 PVC.

Q3: The description of work calls for the contractor to install [2] 200A services which includes [2] 200A umbilicals. Please define what you are requiring as an “umbilical”?

A3: Umbilical shall be provided by others.

Q4: The description of work calls for the installation of a “grounding grid” with ¾” x 10’ ground rods.

Please state the following pertaining to the “grounding grid”:

Q4a: Is the grounding grid to encircle the perimeter of the proposed pad? If so what conductor size?

A4a: Yes, #4 Awg.

Q4b: Is the grounding grid to attach to the steel rebar at intervals within the pad?

A4b: No.

Q4c: Is the grounding grid to attach to the shelter at any points?

A4c: Yes, there shall be 5 connections points, which shall require a 12 foot service loop out of the concrete to attach to the shelter corners and one by the pedestal.

Q4d: How many ground rods are required and at what intervals?

A4d: 4 - ¾ inch ground rods with test points on each corner.

Q5: The description of work that [2] 4” shall extend from cable tray, B700 mounted Junction Box to Pedestal mounted Junction Box. Please answer following questions:

Q5a: How far into building are we required to install the 4” conduits and is the area accessible?

A5a: The electrical 4 inch conduits shall run from the pedestal to the exterior junction box and all the way back to the DP2 panel box inside building 700 mechanical room 128A. The Comm conduits shall run from the pedestal to 3 feet+/- above the bottom of the building soffit above the exterior junction box.

Q5b: Are we required to provide a junction box at the pedestal?

A5b: Yes, junction box for the Comm. and Disconnects for the Electrical.

Q6: The description of work states that the contractor must install inner duct from a cable tray? Where is this cable tray located?

A6: Answer; Yes four, one inch inner ducts shall be install in the Comm. conduits from the pedestal to the junction box and in the conduits stubbed above the soffit in B700.

Q7: Drawings 3, 5, 7 are not legible when expanding the drawing size. I can’t read the verbiage on the drawings.

A7: PDF file is attached. When printed on size D drawings, they should be legible. Arrangements can be made for hard copies to be picked up. Please contact the contracting officer.

Q8: What is the period of performance? SF-1442 Section 11 says "The Contractor shall begin performance within 10 calendar days and complete it within 30 calendar days after receiving award, notice to proceed. The delivery date for CLIN 001 is 14-MAY-2018 to 13-JUN-2018. This is in contrast to Section 4.0 of the Scope of Work states, in part, "All work shall be completed in 180 days from NTP."

A8: Period of Performance (POP) shall be as stated by the Contracting Officer, 30 Days. Documents will be amended to reflect 30 days throughout.

Q9: If the PoP is only 30 days, then how quickly will materials be approved from the time of contractor submittal?

Due to EADS 24/7 Mission, the contractor may need to work outside these hours to include weekends. Contractor must have prior approval in writing to work outside these guidelines and must coordinate with the Engineer in charge."

A10: The info is as stated and mission shall over ride contractors working inside the compound. If the mission affects the working hours the contracting office shall extend the contract for the exact hours lost due to EADS. Yes you shall have to file for work extension in writing for POP and to work outside the core hours.

Q11: Can contractors expect to be granted permission to work outside the "work hours" (as defined in Section 7) on a regular basis in order to meet the 13-JUN-2018 deadline associated with CLIN 0001?

A11: Yes, you will be granted hours of work outside the core hours.

All asphalt shall be swept at days end to clean up any spoils that have been dropped on it during the work day.

Q15: Can the contractor reuse excavated material in the restoration process given that it meets the restoration spec provided?

A15: As long as it is screened the excavated material can be used.
