1. Page 2 of the SOW states “The contractor shall include all services and field labor, equipment necessary to remove and install new chiller.” Will the government confirm if there is a chiller involved in this project?

That was a mistake, there is no chiller involved in this project.

2. Will the government provide a drawing for the rebar reinforcement layout required for the slab?

The rebar needs to be on 12” centers.

3. Is it the government’s intention to have the contractor pour the new slab on top of the existing slab?

Yes, the new slab will be poured on top and attached(pinned) to the existing slab.

4. Is it the government’s intention to have the contractor demo and dispose of slab in old location?

Yes.

5. Is the contractor supposed to match the existing overhead supports and elevations that are now supporting the electrical conduit and gas pipe on the same support?

No. The electrical and gas service will be rerouted through the attic and ran inside the fence with the other utilities.

6. Page 42 of the Solicitation indicates that Corporate Experience must be within 5 years to be considered recent. Will the government revise this requirement to allow Corporate Experience to be within 7 years instead of 5 years to be considered recent? Past performance can be submitted but may not all be considered relevant to solicitation.
