RFIs - Electrical Project
1. Site Visit: Please let us know the available dates and times for a site visit. We would
like to have our electrical subcontractor attend with us.
Site visit will be held 10am 26 August.
2. Building 316 – WO# 202600581: Section 5.1.2 includes one entry stating the
location is pending, while another entry under the same work order identifies
Rooms 105, 110, 130A, and 120. Are these the same requirement, or are these
separate repairs? Item 8 can be deleted; item 15 is the work requested
3. Building 402 – Classified Area – WO# 202600810: The PWS states that new lighting
is to be installed. Can you provide the anticipated number and type of fixtures, or
will this be determined during the site visit?
4. Lighting Fixtures: For locations stating "repair/replace" an inoperable fixture,
should the contractor assume complete fixture replacement if repair is not
practical? Are there Government-required fixture types, manufacturers,
specifications, or LED standards that must be used?
5. Building 326 – Main OƯice and Tool Crib – WO# 202600311: The PWS references
"several" inoperable light fixtures. Can you provide the approximate quantity, or will
this be determined during the site visit?
6. Building 304 – 220V Outlet – WO# 202600137: Can you provide the required
amperage, receptacle configuration/type, equipment load requirements, and
approximate location of the electrical panel serving the new outlet? Evaluating
panel capacity is part of this requirement
7. Building 318 – 440V Service – WO# 202600444: Is any additional information
available regarding the existing problem with the 440V service, such as known
symptoms, equipment being served, previous troubleshooting, panel information,
or drawings?
8. Drawings and Panel Schedules: Are existing electrical drawings, one-line
diagrams, panel schedules, or facility drawings available for any of the buildings
included in the scope?
9. Weapons Vault and Classified Area Access: Are there any special security, escort,
citizenship, background investigation, or personnel clearance requirements for
contractors working in the building 402 Weapons Vault or Classified
Area? Contractors are required to have a REAL ID and will have to pass a
-- 1 of 4 --
background check to gain access to the base; they will also need to provide at least
48 hours’ notice of scheduled work in both areas to allow 138th CES to coordinate
properly cleared escorts.
10. Base Access / Badging: Will Contractor and Subcontractor personnel require any
special airport or installation badging to perform the work, such as a SIDA badge or
other security credential? If so, what is the process and typical lead time for
obtaining the required credentials?
11. Work Hours: The PWS states that services are to be provided between 0730 and
1700 Monday through Thursday. Please confirm whether all work is expected to be
performed during these daytime hours. Will any work be required or permitted to be
performed at night, after normal working hours, or on weekends due to facility
operations, power shutdowns, security requirements, or other considerations?
12. Electrical Shutdowns: If electrical circuits or building services must be temporarily
shut down to perform the work, will shutdowns need to occur after normal operating
hours? Who will coordinate and authorize required shutdowns?
13. Period of Performance: The PWS states that the Period of Performance is 90 days
from Notice to Proceed. Section F appears to contain the wording "90 Calendar
Year." Can you please confirm that the required Period of Performance is 90
calendar days from Notice to Proceed? The required Period of Performance is 90
calendar days from Notice to Proceed.
14. Technical Capability: What documentation would you like oƯerors to provide to
demonstrate Technical Capability? For example, should the quote include
contractor licenses, resumes, project experience, technical approach, safety
information, or other supporting documentation?
The solicitation does not specify quote volumes, page limits, file formats, or naming
conventions; however, to be "Acceptable," an oƯeror must demonstrate the ability to
properly complete the work per the Statement of Work, RFI’s, and Government end
goal.
15. Subcontractor Experience/Past Performance: If a contractor serves as the prime
contractor and uses a qualified electrical subcontractor to perform the electrical
field work, will the Government consider the qualifications, experience, and past
performance of the proposed electrical subcontractor when evaluating Technical
Capability and Past Performance?
The Government will evaluate the qualifications of the prime contractor only, as the
-- 2 of 4 --
resulting contract will be awarded solely to the prime contractor.
Yes, 52.219-14 does apply. A subcontractor cannot exceed 75% of the contract.
16. Small Business Participation: What information should be included in the quote to
satisfy the Small Business Participation evaluation factor?
The prime contractor is a small business. 52.219-1 Small Business in SAM.
17. Limitations on Subcontracting: Does FAR 52.219-14 or another limitation on
subcontracting requirement apply to this solicitation? If a contractor uses a small-
business electrical contractor as its primary electrical subcontractor, please
confirm whether that subcontracting arrangement is acceptable under this
solicitation.
18. Disaster/Emergency Area Provisions: FAR 52.226-3 and 52.226-4 appear in the
solicitation, but the designated geographic area is blank. Are these provisions
applicable to this acquisition and is there any geographic residency requirement
beyond the Total Small Business Set-Aside?
We are not concerned about this clause, just disregard it.
19. Pricing Format: Section B identifies the requirement as one firm-fixed-price job.
Please confirm that the Government is requesting one total lump sum price for
completion of the entire PWS. Would you also like an itemized breakdown by work
or…
