23 December 2020:

Answer: The Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) has scheduled an optional site visit for 06 January 2021 at 1000 EST for those offerors that wish to attend. No other site visit will be offered prior to the close of this solicitation, due to test schedules and time constraints.

Please note the following:

(1) COVID-19 Precautions: Please follow all CDC guidance to include: not visiting if experiencing symptoms or are sick, 10 days isolation, and 24 hours without fever, etc.

A mask is required behing the gate, even outdoors, and please keep a 6ft space between others.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/end-home-isolation.html

Please email Ms. Grice directly at alyssa.r.grice.civ@mail.mil for maps and also to RSVP with how many person(s), along with names, will be in your party for the site visit. Please note visitor(s) must first get pass from VISITOR CENTER at the Rt. 715 gate , then proceed to ATC VISITOR CONTROL (Bldg. 324) for escort.

(3) All visitors must be US citizens. No cameras allowed.

NOTE: No questions regarding the solicitation will be answered during the site visit and all questions are to be submitted in writing to Alyssa Grice at alyssa.r.grice.civ@mail.mil, after conclusion of the site visit for review, answer and amendment.

Question 2: Is an incumbent contractor currently performing these services, if similar services have been performed in the past, or if this is a new requirement. If this is a follow-on requirement, could you please provide the previous contract or task order number?

Answer: This is a follow-on requirement for fire suppression equipment support services. The incumbent contractor is DVF Corporation and the current contract number is W91CRB-18-P-0010.

Question and Answers (Q&A) from Site Visit 06 January 2020 - AA5 1000M Pad and Pump House at Aberdeen Test Center (ATC)

Question 3: What are the confined space work requirements in the valve vaults?

Answer: ATC referred visitors to the PWS and applicable OSHA regulations regarding confined space work.

Question 4: Do offerors need to include cost for personnel from up range control room(s) to speak to technician in the valve vault during quarterly inspections (so they’d know when valves were opened, closed, etc.).

Answer: ATC answer was “no.” ATC will put a technician in the control room to coordinate with the maintenance/inspection technician in the valve vault via radio.

Question 5: What is the typical duration to conduct quarterly inspection?

Answer: ATC stated at the site visit all of the ranges can typically be inspected in a day. All deficiencies noted. Any follow up work on deficiencies would of course take extra time. ATC later clarified with an email to ACC stating it would actually take longer. Corrected response was “When all ranges are properly inspected, it will - in all likelihood - require more than one day, to include C-field.”

Question 6: Are “single line documentation” (wiring diagrams) applicable?

Answer: ATC stated it was a work in progress because of ongoing upgrades. When upgrades are finished we expect to have applicable diagrams.

Question 7: What about coordinating control room functions for troubleshoot and maintenance efforts?

Answer: ATC will provide control room support (valve actuation, etc.)

Question 8: Will the winning contractor would be responsible for the FM200 fire suppression system for/in the downrange AA5 control room?

Answer: ATC responded that they are NOT responsible and it’s not part of this contract.

Question 9: What sort of pump testing will be required.

Answer: ATC responded that pressure, flow, VFD function, etc. is based on manufacturer guidance?

Question 10: How about the absence of a fire alarm panel in the AA5 pump house?

Answer: ATC responded that it’s not an NFPA20 fire pump.

A brief clarification discussion ensured for the benefit of all contractors because some contractors working primarily in environments and with technology governed by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards and regulations for protection of personnel, were initially confused thinking that all components and equipment had to meet those standards, especially in the pump houses.

ATC clarified that it isn’t the case. Our fire suppression equipment is of a military unique application and is meant to protect materiel under test from undue damage from fire during testing – not to protect personnel. It was designed and installed with that in mind. That said, ensuring NFPA compliance for fire suppression systems is not required and is not the goal of the maintenance/repair contract. Inspections and maintenance is instead to be focused on maintenance of as-built/as-designed performance of the on-site systems.

Question 11: Will the up range controls also control the AA5 pump house?

Answer: ATC responded yes, JCI providing controls interface and Tigerflow HMI will be local and remote control.

Question 12: What it the rundown of test ranges included again?

Answer: ATC responded AA5, PIMF, PI12 all have foam/water/CO2 systems. C-Field has water and foam only. BTD has CO2 only. Pete also mentioned the diesel fire pump mentioned in the PWS is at C-Field only.

Question 13: How long does a CO2 tank last and who is responsible for refill.

Answer: The average fill lasts 6 months but it's all usage dependent. ATC refills the tanks – not the contractor.
