Z2DZ--Modernize Generator Project

Amendment / Modification

This document is Addendum No. 01, dated May 15, 2026, which provides clarifications and updates to the original solicitation documents.

• General Notes: Clarifies that the contractor must submit a temporary power plan for review before installation. Temporary power must be operational before any work impacting existing generator operations.
• Phase 1 Keynotes: Details the disconnection of an existing generator feeder, removal of associated controls, and the retention of existing feeder conductors and switchboard. It also specifies the disconnection and removal of existing circuit breakers and bussing, with feeder conductors remaining unless otherwise noted. Additionally, it notes the demolition of a feeder conductor to ATS-FP.
• Phase 2 Keynotes: Outlines the installation of a new retrofit interior compatible with Schneider Electric I-Line, rated for 480Y/277V, 3PH, 4WR, and 1200A. This includes provisions for a 1200A main circuit breaker for the emergency distribution panel (EDP) and a 50A main circuit breaker for the fire pump (FP). It also covers extending and reconnecting existing feeders, providing new 50A conductors for the emergency fire pump circuit in existing conduit, installing existing spare circuit breakers into the new interior, and installing a new 1200A main circuit breaker for the generator switchboard. Finally, it details the provision of a new 1200A quick connect cabinet with provisions for a future load bank and a new 1200A breaker for this cabinet, including Kirk-key interlock provisions.

This addendum provides clarifications and technical details that may impact how bidders plan their approach and resource allocation, particularly concerning temporary power and electrical system modifications. No changes to proposal deadlines or evaluation factors are explicitly stated in this addendum.

Amendment / Modification

This document, Addendum 1 - Solicitation RFI, dated 05-15-2026, provides clarifications and updates related to the "Modernize Generator System VAMC Honolulu" project (Project No. 459-24-001).

Key changes and clarifications include:

• Temporary Generator Location: The contractor is responsible for proposing a final location for the temporary generator after an assessment, subject to VA approval within 7 days of Notice to Proceed (NTP).
• Work Hours: All work related to connecting the temporary generator system, testing, and commissioning must be performed after normal business hours.
• Generator Work: Work on existing generators must be performed by the local Caterpillar dealer (Hawthorn Cat) to maintain UL listing.
• Basis of Design: The basis of design for the generator switchboard enclosure and main fuel tank enclosure was by TR Electrical Services. Alternate manufacturers are the responsibility of the contractor, and the VA is not liable for alternatives.
• Demolition and Relocation: Specific instructions are provided for the demolition and temporary relocation of existing components (daytank circuit, wiring, generator switchboard interior, pullboxes, fuel tank wiring, junction boxes, fire pump ATS, exit signs, and receptacles) to facilitate 2-hour fire-rated wall reinforcement.
• Reinstallation: Reinstallation of removed components (exit signs, receptacles, fire pump ATS, conduits, junction boxes, etc.) is detailed, including reconnection of existing circuits and feeders.
• New Equipment: Installation of a new 1200A, 480V, 3-phase switchboard interior with a 1200A main circuit breaker, new branch breakers, and a new quick connect enclosure for load bank provisions is required.
• Fuel Monitoring: A new freestanding stainless steel enclosure for fuel monitoring wiring and a power section for a 208V panel is to be provided.
• Wiring: Specific instructions are given for providing conductors for generator controls, connecting to the emergency side of the 'ATS-FP', and routing feeders for the fuel pump.

This addendum impacts various sections of the original solicitation documents, including general notes, key notes, and specific drawing details related to generator and fuel tank systems, demolition, and new installations. It also affects the submission requirements for temporary generator location proposals.

While this addendum primarily provides technical clarifications and updates to the scope of work, bidders should review all changes carefully to ensure their proposals accurately reflect the revised requirements.
