- Description
- The purpose of this amendment is to provide answers to questions submitted under this solicitation as follows: Question: It is not possible to provide the power required in 3.1.1.1 using a full day of sunlight much less 2 sun hours per day. See the attached chart specifically for the Delta area. The chart uses 16 PV panels and as you can see in the months of November, December and January the power requirement can't be met. Even if the number of solar panels was increased to 64 it still can not be met. Answer: The maximum weekly power draw is 30000WH. A 2600 Watt Array with a 90% efficiency will produce an average of 32760WH per week based on 2 sun hrs per day. Only in Nov - Jan are the sun hrs less than 2. (Worst case is Dec. when it generates 10282WH per week). However during this time the wind generator should produce between 15000 and 20000WH per week and meet the load requirements. Additionally, increasing the number of panels in the solar array should increase WH produced and thereby meet the operational requirements. The generator is primarily an alternate backup for the instances that wind and solar both fail. Question: Where is the outfitting to take place? Construction costs 3 times more in the bush than in town. Answer: Preliminary outfitting of the shelters can occur at a contractor specified facility. However final integration and installation has to occur at the remote sites. The contractor is responsible for any transportation of the shelters from their preliminary integration site to the Big Delta staging Area. The government is responsible for delivering the shelters to the contractor specified preliminary integration site and from the Big Delta Staging Area to the remote sites where the final installation will occur. Question: How are the shelters constructed, wood, foam panels, steel, or brick? Answer: The Shelters are insulated portable steel buildings originally manufactured by Mobile Mini. Question: What are the soil conditions, is it bedrock, tundra, river rock? Answer: The soil is primarily frozen tundra. However, only minimal disturbing of the ground should be necessary. The contractor will need to install the Wind Generator pole but the shelters will be placed on existing GFE frames optimized for the shelters. No soil survey has performed at the remote sites. Question: How are the sites accessed, can you drive to them or is a helicopter required? Answer: Helicopter, requires coordination from Eielson AFB Range Control Office Question: Will transportation be provided for construction if on-site, for warranty work, for start-up? Answer: No, this is part of the contract costs and requirements Question: Will lodging be provided? Answer: No, There are no facilities on at the remote sites. Lodging is the responsibility of the contractor. NSWC COR generally stays in the Fairbanks/Eielson AFB area. Overnight stays at the remote sites must be coordinated with the Eielson AFB Range Control Office and may or may not be approved. The date and time of proposal submission is extended to 23 March 2007 at 15:00PM, Pacific time
