FEDBIZOPS web site: http://www.eps.gov/. *******Clarification to Industry (21 April 2006) 1. Do you have any site plans, or digital photos of how this control room mates up with the wind tunnel? **Answer: Site plans can be found at http://www.csupomona.edu/~aro/wt/ We will be adding information here as necessary and it becomes available. As for how the room and tunnel mate up, we don't have any details other than to indicate that the Wind Tunnel (WT) will penetrate both Control Room (CR) walls so the walls will need to be installed or built around the WT duct after the WT is set in place. We anticipate that the duct-to-wall interface will consist of some type of "L" bracket frame, sealed to both the interior CR wall and the WT duct. The seal and attachment interface to the duct CAN NOT penetrate the WT surface so some type of adhesive/sealant should be used. ---------------------- ---------------------- 2. Are you expecting this room to be "stick built" on site, or pre-fabricated and offloaded from a truck and fit in place? **Answer: Due to site constraints, our vision has typically been that the CR would be fabricated on site, but we are open to any suggestions for a pre-fabricated building. This was discussed early on in the project and it was determined that the CR could be set in place over the WT duct with a crane and filler panels installed below the duct. Since that time the CR has grown in size and would not easily be transportable in one piece. A 2-piece design dropped over the WT duct with the bolted and sealed mating surface on the room interior could probably be considered. We would need to verify this with our Facilities and Planning people. ---------------------- ---------------------- 3. What controls are expected beyond power that is described? Any motor starter controls? **Answer: We anticipate that there will be one or more conduits run from a nearby facilities room where the motor starter, cooling pump, etc. will be installed. These conduits would penetrate the top of the CR side wall nearest the existing building. Wiring and/or conduit can be run above the drop ceiling to the wall between the CR door and where the duct penetrates the CR side wall. 4. Any control panels and work stations? **Answer: The WT control panel, computer workstation, instrumentation, data acquisition and controls will be located near the WT duct between the Test Section and the CR side wall with the door. 5. Any lights, sirens, horns, PA systems? **Answer: Fire alarm lights and sirens are as described in the Solicitation. It is not anticipated that there will be a need for a PA system, although a telephone is specified. ---------------------- ---------------------- 6. We have found other materials provide very good acoustical properties inside control rooms. Would you accept something other than gypsum for sound attenuation inside? **Answer: We are not sure what the actual acoustical environment will be within the CR. We do anticipate that significant sources of noise will be from the fan and motor through the CR wall and within the WT duct, especially when the Test Section side windows are opened. We are not opposed to the perforated wall design but we are a bit concerned about the attenuation of noise through the wall from the motor and fan located in close proximity. We would be open to other ideas. ---------------------- ---------------------- 7. If prefab, is the HVAC to be integral to the package, or do you expect a remote mount system? **Answer: We anticipate the HVAC system to be integral, as there is very limited usable space around the CR. We are also limited to an overall CR height of 10 feet for aesthetic reasons when viewed from the rest of the campus. These constraints leave only the areas between the drop ceiling and the roof and the wall area above and to the side of the WT duct near the door. ---------------------- ---------------------- 8. Are you having a pre-bid meeting? **Answer: We are not anticipating having one.
