NARRATIVE AMENDMENT 0002
1. The purpose of Amendment 0002 of solicitation W519TC23B2001 is to answer questions from
the site visit. The questions and answers are as follows;
Q1. Do we need to include in our price, engineering for the most reliable point for the 3 new
Voltage Regulators in Substation B? During the walk thru it was mentioned the best place might
have been out on a circuit rather than inside the substation, this would require a professional
load study.
A1. Cost needs to be included in the bid. This would include “engineering for the most reliable
point for the 3 new Voltage Regulators in Substation B”.
Q2. Does the replacement of the first pole on the load side of Entergy’s Primary Meter Pole in
substation B need to be included in our quote? The pole appeared to be in poor condition
during our walk through and replacing it was mentioned, but this is not in the original quote.
A2. The first pole on the load side on Entergy’s primary meter pole needs to be replaced.
Q3. The existing 3 Phase Voltage Regulator in Substation B is a 1500 KVA, the SOW says use
three 333 kva regulators, that will not have as much ampacity as the 1500 kva, just making sure
this is acceptable.
A3. The contractor will utilize an engineering firm to determine the correct sizing and best
location for voltage regulators to meet PBA's usage and needs. PBA will review engineering firm
recommendations to determine if they are acceptable for PBA's usage and needs.
Q4. Please provide a satellite image of the Substations B and C that will be repaired.
A4. The satellite images will be provided to those who request the images
2. All other terms and conditions of this solicitation remain in effect
