List of Answers to the Questions Question #1 Regarding to page 39 of RFP

According to what I checked yesterday, parts and pipes related to the refrigerant cycle are outside the scope of work. This means there is no need to recover refrigerant. Therefore, it is considered unnecessary to require 'Business Registration in Refrigerant Recovery

(냉매회수업)?

Answer to the Question #1

Although the scope of work does not include disposing refrigerant chemicals of chillers, the offeror is still responsible for disposing antifreezes of the condensers out of USAG Humphreys installation to comply with ROK Government Environmental Laws and regulation. Therefore, the Government determines that the subject business license is necessary to dispose antifreezes and overhaul chillers.

Question #2 Regarding to page 27 of RFP In case of Chillers, Items c) and e) through p) are relate to the refrigerant cycle. So, they are outside the scope of the work. Therefore, it is considered necessary to edit or delete them.

8.3 Overhaul Chiller. The contractor shall overhaul condenser part of chillers to the buildings 12410, 12601, 12600, 6400,6100, 6145, and 6110. The overhaul includes disassemble and reassemble condensers, replace loose parts, cleaning, inspection, test and calibration listed below.

a) Removal of machine from service

b) Lock out and tagging out of machine

c) Recover refrigerant charge and record amount with recovery holding tanks provided by contractor.

d) Mobilization and setting up rigging for repairs.

e) Dismantling of chiller components and compressor. The contractor shall provide all equipment and labor to remove condenser tube sheet end caps.

f) Inspection and verification of the inlet guide vane assembly, labyrinth seals, and the impellers compared to manufacturer’s specifications.

g) Removal of the compressor motor and on-site replacement of the motor bearings and shaft seal.

h) Replacement of the economizer and liquid line flanges.

i) Reassembly of the compressor, motor, oil sump, purge unit, auxiliary vapor and liquid lines, sight glasses. Provide and install all new gaskets and O-rings.

j) Replacement of the 2nd stage vane bushing, bearings, shims, pins, and snap rings.

k) Rebuilding of the 1st and 2nd stage guide vane operator assemblies.

l) Rebuilding of the purge pump-out compressor.

m) Replace purge filter.

n) Chiller evacuation and leak testing to manufacturer’s specifications.

o) Charge chiller with recovered refrigerant.

p) Perform chiller Motor Starter

q) Removal of locks and tags.

r) Start-up and operation check.

s) Verification of operating parameters and adjustment of the chiller as per its original specifications.

t) Place machine back into service.

u) Demobilize and removal of rigging.

Question #2

The paragraph 8.3 and paragraph below building list shall be changed as below;

The overhaul includes disassemble and reassemble condensers, replace loose parts such as gaskets, seals and caps, test leaking, cleaning and calibration listed below.

a) Disassemble condensers to include gaskets, tubes, and caps.

b) Mobilize necessary rigging and repair equipment.

c) Replace loos gaskets and seals.

d) Clean circulation pumps of cold waterlines to and out of condensers.

e) Start-up and operation check.

f) Verify inlet and outlet water temperature of condensers to ensure within range.

Question #3 Regarding to page 28 and 29 of RFP

In case of Cooling towers, according to what I checked yesterday, the main work is to remove sludge accumulated in cold water basin and collection pit of cooling towers, and the parts to be replaced are fan assemblies (excluding fans) and nozzle spray pumps. However, according to the work details of 'Overhaul Cooling Tower' below, replacement parts include filler, drift eliminator, fan, reducer, etc., which are different for each building. Therefore, it is considered necessary to check again whether the replacement items for each building are accurate.

Question #3

The Technical Exhibit 01 Cooling Tower Information identifies specific buildings and parts of the cooling towers required to replace items.

Question #4 It seems that evaporators of chillers are not included in this overhaul. is that so?

Question #4

The evaporators are not included in the scope of work.

Question #5 It seems to mean that after cleaning the inside of the chillers and the cooling towers, fill each with Water+Glycol. If so, is the Water+Glycol already filled in the pipes that are not being cleaned in the overhaul maintained as is? Or should Water+Glycol be replaced even if the inside of the pipe is not cleaned? And what should the Water+Glycol concentration be?

Question #5

The two (2) cooling towers at buildings 12410 and eight (8) cooling towers at building 6110 require glycol to prevent freezing of the cold water lines the cooling towers and chillers. The concentration rate of the glycol should be maintained at -19° C or greater which should be controlled with the glycol controller. The glycol is a sort of hazardous materials. In accordance with the paragraph 7.1.1.31 of the PWS, the contractor shall the use of the glycol, chemical, that do not contain potential hazards components to health, fire, reactivity and environmental stating complete health and safe.

7.1.1.31 Hazardous Material. Any item or chemical, which is a “health hazard”, or “physical hazard”, as reflected in Federal Standard (FED-STD) 313 Material Safety Data and Disposal Data for Hazardous Materials Furnished to Government Activities, defined in OSHA 29 CFR 1910, and pursuant to FAR 23.301 (Hazardous Materials) Definition. It also includes any other material designated by a Government COR/technical representative as potentially hazardous and requiring safety controls (e.g., pesticides, fertilizers).

Question #6 It is described as 'new at the same or manufacturer recommended products', when replacing the fan motors and related parts. However, during the site visit, I was told that the motors that can be purchased domestically could be used. Is it possible to replace them with similar parts that can be purchased domestically rather than the manufacturer's part?

Answer to the Question #6

The Technical Exhibits 01 and 02 explain the manufacturer information, some equipment/parts are local-manufactured, and some equipment/parts are US-manufactured. Not all Korean or US manufactured equipment. Hence, the replacement parts should be the same or manufacturer recommended products. Any products that are not or non-manufacturer recommended items will not be acceptable to the Government.
