JRD Compound Heating - Ventilation - Air Conditioning & Envelope Improvements

Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides answers to vendor questions regarding Solicitation 1240BJ26Q0001 for JRD Compound Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning & Envelope Improvements.

• Telecom Network: Existing raceways can be used if capacity is available. The existing 4-strand fiber optic cable between the office and warehouse can be replaced with a new 12-strand single mode fiber optic cable.
• Instrument Transformer Power: The new instrument transformer should be fed from the new MDP as shown on sheet E3.1. Circuiting between the existing MDP and the new instrument transformer on sheet E1.1 is a drafting error and should be omitted.
• Network Switches & Cabling: The owner will provide necessary network switches, port programming, Cat6 patch cables, and media converters for the BTU meter.
• Rack Power Strip: Loads using the existing duplex receptacle for the rack power strip will be relocated by the owner prior to project commencement.
• Demolition of Electrical Feed: Per demolition sheet note 2 on sheet E0.0, all circuiting and raceways associated with removed equipment, including the 100A feed serving A-102, shall be removed. The raceway may be abandoned in place.
• Fiber Pathway to Warehouse: An additional fiber pathway to the warehouse is needed because the existing fiber cable has insufficient strands for future needs.
• Dry Storage Cabinet Equipment: The owner will supply the UPS and network switch for the new cabinet in Dry Storage. The contractor is to provide a power strip and connect the government-furnished switch to the contractor-provided patch panel.
• Laydown Area: The contractor staging area is designated in part of the parking lot west of the office building, as noted on C-1.
• Access During Excavation: Access to USFS facilities beyond utility trenches will be necessary and can be accomplished by driving through the Dry Storage Building during the 2-week trenching and restoration period.
• Foam Insulation: The product spec for the 10” thick foam on sheet A7.0 is EPS insulation, per note 2 on sheet A7.0.
• Propylene Glycol Disposal: The CBJ wastewater division can accept up to several hundred gallons of propylene glycol via the sanitary sewer collection system. The system's current volume is below this threshold.
• FTU Access: FTUs can be accessed via available hatches in the attic or through the plenum.
