Description

NO further questions will be accepted. This is the last response. 24. Question: What is the I/O count for each unit? 24A. Answer: There are 24 I/O switches on each unit, for a total of 48 I/O switches. 24. What is the I/O count for each unit? 24A. There are 24 I/O switches on each unit, for a total of 48 I/O switches. 25.Based on the technical responses per the amendment, it is clear that a transformer will not be required. Two of the four breakers from the existing power distribution panel are double pole 60A breakers. Since our CEMS requires 120 VAC power, I would assume the double pole (208 VAC) breakers could be replaced with single pole 120 VAC breakers? 25A. Yes. The panel is a "Square D" type with snap in breakers 26.In section 2.1.5: It states the data acquisition needs to be an integral part of the analyzer system either in conjunction with the analyzer/sample conditioning cabinet or in a separate cabinet. Would a triple-bay NEMA-12 cabinet (unibody type) configuration be acceptable instead of 3 separate NEMA-12 single bay cabinets? The triple-bay would have 3 each front and 3 each rear doors with no interior walls for cooling circulation. The approximate footprint is 75"W x 32"D which is within the size of your concrete pad. 26A. As long as each Continuous Emission Monitoring system can be configured to stand alone, independent of the other, then the relative placement, whether all in one enclosure or each with their own is not an issue. Enclosures must be simple to open and easy to access, if the question suggests that analyzers, sample conditioners and pumps would be placed in a cabinet at ground level so that access would be impeded then the answer is this cannot be allowed. 27.Section 2.1.5.a: Is a UPS only required for the DAS? Do each of the CEMS require a UPS as well as the DAS? 27A. The system that is detailed in this specification, is a duplicate of the existing. Only one UPS exists for the DAS. 28.Section 2.1.4: This section states that the vendor shall supply calibration gases sufficient to calibrate at least two (2) points in the range of each analytical instrument. Does this imply that dual range is required for CO & O2? 28A. Two points indicate a standard daily calibration check, with zero as point one and span as point two. 29.Section 2.1.4: This section states that the Contractor shall disconnect the existing opacity monitors from existing transmitters and remove the transmitters from the current cabinet. Does this imply: a. That the entire opacity monitor system is to be removed and never used for the new CEMS systems on unit #5 #6 (i.e. transmissometers and reflectors on the stack AND the rack-mounted opacity controller within the existing CEMs cabinet at grade level) b. Just the rack-mounted opacity controller within the existing CEMs cabinet at grade level and never used for the new CEMS systems on unit #5 #6? c. Removing just the existing rack-mounted opacity controller from the old CEMS cabinet at grade level and reinstalling in the new CEMS? 29A. The correct answer is a. That the entire opacity monitor system is to be removed and never used for the new CEMS systems on unit #5 #6 (i.e. transmissometers and reflectors on the stack AND the rack-mounted opacity controller within the existing CEMs cabinet at grade level) MAJ Carl J.

The Government/ US Army Fort Detrick Garrison Director of Public Works plans to allow for the shutdown of one of the two incinerators and CEMS to allow for the installation of one new system. After that new system Fabrication and installation work may not interfere with this schedule, and shutdowns must be coordinated in advance with the plant supervisor. Existing continuous emissions monitoring system or incinerator/scrubber may be shutdown as needed after approval by the supervisor. The plant is open and accessible from 0600 - 2200 Monday through Friday, and can be opened at other times as requested. Facilities such as locker room, break room, and bath room are for the use of plant employees. Contractors shall supply amenities to meet the needs of site workers as needed. Parking is limited and cannot impede the day-to-day operations. All parking, except loading and unloading should be done in a designated parking space. Storage space for tools and parts is limited and should be coordinated with the supervisor. All materials demolished and removed from the site are the property of Fort Detrick and shall be returned to the supervisor. 1.6.4 Place of Performance: The work to be performed under this contract will be performed at Bldg. Bldg. 393 Beasley Drive, Directorate of Public Works, Fort Detrick, MD 21702. 1.6.5 Type of Contract: The government will award a firm fixed price contract. 1.6.6 Security Requirements: The Contractor shall ensure all personnel performing under this contract have a favorable National Agency Check with Written Inquires (NACI), which must be coordinated with the USAG Security Office for submission within three business days prior to performance start date.
