Per the Statement of Work: The contractor responsible to ensure that provided HVAC system can sufficiently meet the heating and cooling demand of the Communications facility. The contractor shall size, select, and install new VRV/VRF system with solitary outdoor condenser module and interior branch controller sized to accommodate single zone ceiling recessed cassettes for all zones. The contractor shall develop zone quantity and layout to accommodate all occupied areas based on equipment performance capabilities. The contractor shall provide isolated controls for each cassette unit, tied into the BAS. Include wiring for all low voltage required for controls. The contractor shall install outside air ductwork to maintain minimum ventilation requirements for space utilization. The contractor shall provide all new refrigerant and condensate drainage piping. Question 1. While not specifically identified, reference is made for compliance with UFC 3-410-01 which implies design requirements. Are design documents required for this project and if so, to what extent? To comply with the UFC 3-410-01 and DOEFEMP Best Practices Guide for Energy-Efficient Data Center Design, we will require from Owner, at a minimum, the following: Answer 1. The contractor is responsible to verify the system proposed and designed will support Building 2602. Question 2. Provide drawings to scale indicating the size and number of the offices and the hallways to be conditioned. The drawings are needed in order to properly size the equipment and to develop a realistic construction bid. Answer 2. Original HVAC drawing from 1992 and current floor plan uploaded to contracting opportunities on 2 November 2021. Question 3. Provide to scale size of server room and total heat output of server equipment. Answer 3. As discussed during site visit, the server room currently has five racks and needs to be able to accommodate a potential increased energy load in the future. A rough calculation for five server racks assuming 1360 BTU/hr and 21 servers on each rack gives us approximately 142,800 BTU/hr. To include future load please design for 200,000 BTU/hr. Question 4. Provide general information on building lighting wattage: ie is it LED or fluorescent? Answer 4. The building interior lighting is fluorescent while the exterior lighting is LED. The scope of this project is limited to HVAC and no lighting changes are required. The lighting load is minimal. Question 5. Provide the total number of people in the offices and in the server room. Answer 5. During the week, there are about 20 people spread out in the building. The server room is adjacent to an office space with about 5 people. Question 6. Will any portion of the building be occupied or otherwise used by the Government during construction? Answer 6. Normal operations will continue during the project but areas can be isolated via coordination with the COR and Communication Squadron. Question 7. Will construction be scheduled during the year to avoid the need for temporary heating and/ or cooling? Answer 7. The construction will be coordinated to provide minimal disruption to operations. Temporary heating or cooling will not be required depending on timeline. Question 8. What is the nature of the available electrical power available for the existing electric panel, eg volt/ phase / amps. Answer 8. Panel MDP–2: 225A; 208/120V; 3-phase Spare 100A: 7-8 blank 3-phase spaces available Panel PP1: 225A; 480/277V; 3-phase Spare 40A; 3-phase Spare 20A; 3-phase (2ea) Spare 20A; 2 pole Spare 20A; 1-pole 3-4 blank 3-phase spaces available Question 9. PP 2.3.2 Page 14/ 58 refers to ''....required efforts of the Plans and Specifications''. These were not found. Answer 9. The plans of the building were posted on contracting opportunities on 2 November 2021. Question 10. In addition to needing the total load (sum of all IT gear power consumption and heat generation) we require a detailed layout from Owner on the IT gear, specifically the racks of equipment, where they are exactly located and the KW per rack. Answer 10. This was discussed during the site visit but standard data center design criteria should be used. Question 11. Will the IT room require redundant cooling? Answer 11. No the IT room will not require redundant cooling per UFC 3-410-01. The current Daikin unit will remain in the server room for emergency purposes. Question 12. Is the IT cooling solution to be fed from a generator? If so, is a generator on site and available for this project? If so, what are its capabilities and how much is available for us to use? Answer 12. The current generator is rated for 300 kW. The maximum use currently is 65 kW indicating there is sufficient capacity for future connections. Question 13. There is no mention of fire suppression. Does the IT Room have a fire suppression system currently? If not, is this to be included? Answer 13. The IT room does not currently have fire suppression and has fire protection. Fire suppression is not included in this project scope. Question 14. The RFP indicates that the HVAC system is to be removed. Can we selectively re-use some portions of the existing systems, exclusive of the AHU’s and Boilers? Answer 14. Yes if it can be used with the new proposed system. But please know that the current system is not a VRV system and the government is requesting a VRV system. Question 15. It indicates that the value of the project is up to $250,000. It is concerning that this value is not more aligned in the $250,000 to $1,000,000 budget range based on the SOW. That said, has the IGE accounted for the following costs in developing the budget: Demolition costs Concrete costs Electrical Costs VRV System Costs Make Up Air Unit costs Costs of an independent, yet to be determined cooling solution for the IT Room. Potential chiller or separate DX cooling solution. Electrical modifications and upgrades Design costs to include electrical, mechanical and structural engineering as well as architectural costs. Fire suppression costs Building Automation System costs. Costs for full time on site supervision Answer 15. Yes, the magnitude was based on the IGE. Question 16. If Design is a component of this RFP, please identify the exact requirements for submission. Answer 16. The government requires the proposed VRV system design, sequence of operations and schedule to replace the existing system. ***************************************************************************************************************************************** ***AMENDMENT 01*** THIS AMENDMENT IS TO ADD BUILDING DRAWINGS.
