    Amendment 001 - Questions and Answers.pdf
    Amendment #001 to Solicitation SV0187-25 / 1600002830 modifies the contract for electrical design services for the UNICOR Federal Prison Industry at Eglin AFB Laundry. This amendment addresses 13 questions and answers regarding the scope of work. Key points include that engineers must create any necessary drawings or schematics, the project is for a single award covering all phases, and the solicitation is solely for design to support a future electrical work solicitation on sam.gov. The design must include all aspects for new equipment power. It is acceptable to relocate transformers if required and approved. The project is not subject to local code enforcement review, and the scope is limited to electrical design, not architectural or structural work, unless deemed necessary. The amendment clarifies that existing electrical equipment should not be replaced unless it poses a safety hazard, and guidance is needed to determine the appropriate electrical service size to operate both existing and new equipment.
