[email protected] Modification 002 - Q&A 4/21/26 - Is the outdoor condensing unit on top of the roof? Yes How many stories? 3 stories high and is the model corresponding to the Evaporative unit that we have in the Server room. Are you using a third party such as Automated Logic for the BMS Controls integration? The unit is controlled from the built-in console on the evaporative unit in the server room (servicing area) not part of the Building Automation System (BMS). Modification 003 - Q&A 4/22/26 - To include Technical Approach and Past Performance on solicitation description. Modification 004 - Site Visit information 4/26/26: -The server room is on the second floor accessible by elevator or stairs. -Elevator capacity is 4000 lbs.; 4X7 ft door, Dimensions: 4ft W, 6.5ft L, 7.3ft H. -Evaporator Unit in Server room with 3ft door access to hallway. -Condenser on 3rd Floor Roof with Crane access only from SW corner of Bldg. Modification 005 - Add Q&As below and attached Site visit sign in sheet - 4/28/26 The Performance Specification lists the Liebert PX023UA1A809KM PDX Air-Cooled System as a 23-ton machine. However, according to the manufacturer, this model is a 23kW unit, which is approximately 6.5 tons. Could you please confirm if the requirement is for a 23-ton or a 6.5-ton machine? The reference to a “23‑ton” system in the Statement of Work was a clerical error. The correct requirement is 23 kW. All proposed equipment must meet the performance, environmental, and operational criteria associated with a 23 kW cooling system. This correction supersedes any earlier references in the SOW. 2. Does the client require the Liebert brand specifically, or may we propose an equivalent alternative? The agency does not require the Liebert brand specifically. Equivalent alternatives are acceptable; however, all proposed substitutes must: Meet or exceed all technical specifications outlined in the SOW, Demonstrate full compatibility with existing infrastructure, Include supporting documentation verifying equivalency, and Be submitted for agency technical review. Please ensure that any proposed equipment aligns with the agency’s operational needs and long‑term support considerations. 3. The SOW in section 4. Performance Specification a “23 tons” HVAC unit but the Liebert PX023uA1A809KM model is rated at 23 kW (~6.5 tons). Please clarify are you expecting a 23 ton unit? The reference to a “23‑ton” system in the Statement of Work was a clerical error. The correct requirement is 23 kW. All proposed equipment must meet the performance, environmental, and operational criteria associated with a 23 kW cooling system. This correction supersedes any earlier references in the SOW. 4. Could you confirm the location of the electrical panel that feeds the indoor and outdoor Liebert units? The bid documents note reconnecting the new equipment to the existing electrical infrastructure, but I do not recall seeing the associated panel during the walk. The 4x4 junction box next to the Liebert unit is labeled with “Panel H1, Circuit 20,22,24 480volts” the Breaker panel H1 is in 1st floor supply room, close to West exit door. I do not have information on brakers to Condenser unit on the roof. The line sets specified for the new unit are the same size as the existing ones. Can you confirm whether the current lines can be reused? We understand they would still need to be properly flushed and cleaned. If replacement is required, could you provide approximate lengths from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit? Line sets are currently operational and in use
