The project is to be constructed and documented in accordance with the HPSB Guiding Principles as outlined in Section 01 33 29. Please follow the specifications of Section 01 33 29, Sustainability Reporting.

The bid solicitation, page 29 of 58, section “52.219-28”, are we correct to believe, as we are not a “small business” that the small business plan is not required unless we are the possible low bidder and that the small business plan would be a “post bid” and “post award” requirement [Answer] Small business subcontracting plans are only applicable to large businesses. If the apparent low bidder is other than a small business, it will be required to submit a small business subcontracting plan prior, which must be approved prior to award of the contract.

22. Please advise whether the AT Level I training certificate will be required for all construction labor force accessing site in addition to the badge applications.

01, para 2.1.2.2 for requirements for using software other than Primavera. The schedule must be cost loaded but not labor loaded.

25. Is this project to be LEED certified? If not, should we ignore the requirement on some of the specification sections to submit LEED data for products?

[Answer] Please see response to Amendment 0005, Question 17.

26. Can the superintendent or the QC have a dual hat role and be the safety officer?

[Answer] No, the Contractor Quality Control (CQC) Manager, Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO), and the Project Superintendent roles must be filled be three separate people.

27. Is temporary perimeter construction fences required for each of the buildings on this project? If so, please conform that temporary fencing supported with concrete bases is acceptable around building 130, 131 & 132.

[Answer] Temporary perimeter construction fences are required. The intent of the construction perimeter fence is to delineate appropriate laydown area necessary for successful completion of the contractor work in cooperation with adjacent contract sites and government access. Temporary fencing must be able to support and withstand winds. Concrete or other weighted bases are acceptable around any buildings and are encouraged to allow flexibility to modify the fence layout if needed. Final laydown and fence coordination must be accomplished with the VT ANG through the Contracting Officer Representative. The Government will require access to the north ramp area around building 385 and building 360 either between these buildings (current lane of travel) or other access points for flight line vehicles. This shall be coordinated with all fence placement to maximize laydown area and allow traffic between these two buildings.

28. Para 3.7 of Section 01 50 00 requires GC to Provide a field office for the Government personnel with Cable

Internet service, however, this base as far as we know is not served with commercial internet and the wireless service signal is slow, please advise whether a cellular hotspot service would be acceptable.

[Answer] Cellular hotspot service is acceptable as long as it provides internet service with the highest speeds available to each work station for computer internet capability in accordance with Section 01 50 00, paragraph 3.7.

29. Drawing M-106-D & Drawing M-108-D indicate in Note #4 that the vertical 1 ¼” piping is SDR 11 HDPE, however the BLDG 360 spec and the BLDG 160 spec both state “ pipe in vertical bores greater than 350 feet deep with a SDR of 9.0”. Do we quote SDR 9 or SDR 11?

[Answer] Drawing M-106-D & Drawing M-108-D: Note #4 to is updated to require the vertical 1 ¼” bore piping to be SDR 9 HDPE. All horizontal underground piping shall be SDR 11.

30. We didn’t find any test bore log for geothermal within specs, is the geothermal contractor required to perform testing of the field location for site subsurface conditions? Is there any rock excavation or rock drilling expected?

[Answer] Contractor shall install one test well for verification of design soil characteristics prior to installation of full well field. Test well shall be installed so it can become part of well field. Reference drill log below taken from a test well located near the project site.

31. Drawings E-401/ E402 on all buildings depict Aircraft Position Elevations which include 100 Amp Carts.

Please provide specifications for these devices.

[Answer] Refer to attached basis of design cutsheet, file entitled “RFI 31 Response Attachment_100AMP

CART.pdf”

32. Paragraph 2.2 of specification section 25 10 10 requires specific testing to satisfy cyber security requirements, please advise whether this paragraph is applicable to this project or not. Also confirm that existing VTANG BAS systems has an ATO.

[Answer] The system does not presently have an ATO (Authorization to Operate), but the cybersecurity testing requirements are to ensure that the system provided is a Risk Management Framework (RMF) compliant product that will satisfy the future ATO certification effort. System shall be a homogenous expansion of the existing Schneider Electric Smart Structure BAS (Building Automation System).
