Answer: Please see the revised Statement of Work. Total existing light fixtures have been updated to 135 and existing locations of all of these have been identified. All 135 are to be replaced in the current locations.

Question 2: Would leaving the light fixtures in place and just using LED replacement bulbs be an option?

Answer: No, existing fixtures should be replaced, including bulbs.

Question 3: Do all of the light fixtures have to be made in the USA? Lead time for some of the fixtures are into february before we could get our hands on them. Is this an issue with the start and finish deadline?

Answer: All products must comply with Buy America. The Period of Performance has been revised to 150 days after Notice to Proceed.

Question 4: Could we be able to also work on weekends for this project?

Answer: No, hours are from 7:00- 3:30pm Monday through Friday. Work outside of these hours must be coordinated with and approved by the Techincal Point of Contact. There is no guarantee that staff will be available or permitted to work on weekends to accommodate the awarded Contractor.

Question 5: Also I noticed the specs for the lights if the lumen count is within 200 lumen would that be acceptable?

Answer: The specifications identify the minimum lumens required. Lower lumens are not acceptable.
