This document is an amendment to Solicitation No. 36C24126Q0410 for an Emergency Generators and Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Service Contract for the Department of Veterans Affairs. The amendment addresses various requests for information (RFIs) from potential contractors. Key clarifications include the amperage size of ATS units (varying 100A-1200A), the location of serial and unit identification numbers in the Statement of Work appendix, and the inclusion of Wage Determination 2015-4019. The amendment specifies that fueling operations are not the contractor's responsibility, and corrosion removal/painting and hose replacements are identify-and-quote situations. However, re-gasketing/sealing of turbochargers, battery replacement, and temperature regulator replacement are part of the preventative maintenance (PM) and should be priced in option years. ATS cycling will be required off-business hours. Access to proprietary software like CAT ET is required, and a $1000 allowance per piece of equipment is provided for work not explicitly stated in the contract, to be used for identified and quoted situations.
