Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document contains Pre-Proposal Inquiries (PPI) and their corresponding answers for Solicitation N62470-26-R-0015, related to the Military Construction Project (MILCON) P732, Electrical Distribution System Upgrades at Norfolk Naval Shipyard.

• Hazardous Materials: Confirmed HAZMAT are shown on H-series drawings. Discovery of contamination will be handled per specification 01 57 19.00 22-3.10.5.10.
• Existing Drawings: For existing substation drawings (de-energized and energized), refer to Specification Appendix A5 (Section 00 01 15-1.3.1). For Gosport tie station P&C drawings, refer to Appendix A1.
• Demolition & Disposal: Dominion is responsible for demolishing Dominion-owned equipment. The contractor is responsible for work depicted in drawings and specifications, including disposal of removed equipment and oil testing (potentially containing PCBs per Section 02 41 00.00 22-1.2.2).
• Construction Waste Management: Contractors must submit a Demolition and Deconstruction Plan and Construction Waste Management Plans for approval, per Section 02 41 00.00 22-Part 1.
• Material Compliance: Specific questions regarding compliance with IEEE standards (e.g., salt spray resistance, seismic design, insulation) and finishes (e.g., Kynar 500, powder coat) often require adherence to the solicitation's specifications rather than manufacturer's standard practices. For example, salt spray resistance requires specific testing (ASTM B117), and seismic design must meet Category C per ASCE 7-16.
• Project Labor Agreement (PLA): The requirement to submit a PLA with the offer has been removed by Amendment 0004 and is no longer applicable.
• Overhead Lines: The voltage of overhead electrical lines near manholes 3010-3013 is 115kV. Coordination with Dominion for shielding or de-energizing is required per Section 01 35 26.00 22-1.8.3.4.

Several clarifications address specific specification sections and drawing references, impacting how bidders should interpret and price requirements related to materials, finishes, seismic design, and site coordination. Some drawing references have been updated.

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the use of other than full and open competition for specific electrical system upgrade devices. It outlines the necessity for brand-name Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) devices for the P732 Electrical System Upgrades at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY).

• Contracting Activity: Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, Norfolk, Virginia.
• Description of Action: Request for approval to use SEL devices for P732 Electrical System Upgrades.
• Specific SEL Devices: Includes various SEL relays, meters, and SCADA system components (e.g., SEL-751, SEL-787L, SEL-735, SEL SCADA System with GPS Clock, RTAC, etc.).
• Project: Installation of SEL Devices at the new Gosport Substation.
• Estimated Value: A table details the quantity, cost per unit, and total estimated value for each SEL item, though specific figures are redacted.
• Statutory Authority: Cites Title 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, stating that only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
• Rationale: Justification for using brand-name SEL devices due to specific agency requirements that other brands cannot meet.
• Efforts to Solicit: Mentions efforts to solicit from as many offerors as practicable, noting that only a portion of the acquisition is subject to other than full and open competition.
• Cost Determination: Contracting Officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable.
• Future Competition: NAVFAC Atlantic has no current plans to compete future contracts for these specific items.

This document indicates that the upcoming procurement for P732 Electrical System Upgrades at NNSY will likely be a sole-source or limited competition acquisition for specific SEL brand-name devices. Bidders should note that the requirement is for these particular SEL components, which may limit their ability to propose alternative solutions unless they are authorized distributors or can meet the stringent justification for substitution.

Other / Unclassified

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for the use of other than full and open competition for the procurement of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) products. Specifically, it seeks to procure HSQ remote terminal units (RTU) for control and integration of industrial control systems under pending solicitation N62470-25-R-0006, which is for Electrical Distribution System Upgrades.

This J&A explains why the government intends to sole-source the procurement of specific SCADA products (HSQ brand name and exclusive licensing agreements) due to the critical infrastructure nature of the items and the need to maintain compatibility with existing systems. It highlights that a change would result in a substantial duplication of sunk costs. Efforts to find other sources through a sources sought notice in 2022 did not identify alternatives. The document also states that the contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable and that there are no current plans to remove barriers to future competition for these specific items.
