This document is Amendment 0001 to Solicitation No. 1333MF26Q0102, issued by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Field Delegates. The primary purpose of the amendment is to provide official responses to vendor questions regarding an upcoming Arc Flash Hazard Analysis and engineering assessment project at the Galveston Campus. Key clarifications provided in the amendment include: - **Certification Requirements:** The contractor must certify that the Arc Flash Hazard Analysis complies with engineering standards, incorporates verified field conditions, includes installed arc flash labels, and is approved by a licensed Professional Engineer where required by state law. - **Scope of Work:** The government is seeking an engineering assessment to verify the safety and functionality of the installation/replacement. This is a new requirement; consequently, previous studies, facility maps, and electrical documentation are not currently available for distribution. - **Campus Assets:** The project scope involves 89 electrical panels. The campus also features four generators (two Generac and two Cummins) and three utility ties. Other assets, such as four transformers, multiple switchgears, and automatic transfer switches (ATS), are not included in the scope as they were not surveyed during the last event. Contractors must formally acknowledge receipt of this amendment prior to the solicitation's closing date and time to avoid potential rejection of their offers.
