Description

Answers and Questions in response to solicitation 36C24627Q0084 Question 1) The price schedule lists 4 JB for CLIN 0001 and for each option year CLIN (1001 4001), while the CLIN descriptions and PWS describe an annual steam quality test and audit. How many testing events per year should be priced: one annual event, or four (quarterly)? Answer 1) The solicitation has since been updated. There was an error in the first posting. To clarify the testing needs to be done quarterly over a 12 month period (4 Quarterly testings). Question 2) If the quantity is 4 JB per year, does each JB represent a full test event (dryness, non-condensable gases and the steam, condensate and water audit), or a test at one location or sterilizer? Answer 2) Each JB represent a full test event for all Locations required. (3 each) Sterilizers and Associated Steam Traps. They also check the Condensate leaving the Sterilizers (Water Audit). Question 3) How many steam sample points are to be installed in the base year, and how many sterilizers or test points in Building 110A (CG48A) are to be tested at each event? Answer 3) There are three (3) Steam Sample Points, one on each Sterilizer. There is no need to install sample points during base year. The testing can be accomplished by removing a section of the steam piping to the Sterilizer, install testing equipment and complete testing. Upon completion, remove testing equipment and return system to per-existing alignment of system. However, if contract wants to for ease of access they can install points at their own expense. This is not a requirement of this Solicitation.
