FS ID# Response

We are providing the plans (225 pages) in

ANSI D 34"x22" format. These formatted drawings are provided for convenience only, drawings should not be scaled for estimating purposes. There are no other changes to the plans document. See:

Attachment2‐V2‐Drawings‐1240BH21R0002

These certifications will not be relaxed, please provide your responses according to the stated specifications.

As stated in the RFP, there will be no pre‐ approvals prior to award.

No planholder's list is available as the solicitation is posted electronically via beta.SAM for anyone to access and download the documents.

Yes, as stated in the M.3(1)(d), identify both key subcontractors and subcontractors expected to perform more than 20% of the work.

No change to the bolt requirements, please provide your response according to the stated specifications.

We are aware of suppliers which do meet the aluminum frame requirement in the stated specifications, therefore no changes will be made.

Fire rated is not necessary, please provide your response according to the stated specifications.

Vendor Comment: Will the Government relax the AISC and AWI

Certification requirements?

Vendor Comment: Product Substitution requests

AMENDMENT #2

Solicitation #: 1240BH21R0002

Umpqua National Forest Office Building

Questions/Comments/Inquiries, Administrative Comments and Government Responses

Vendor Comment: Request for a Planholder's list

Vendor Comment: Can you clarify this statement from the RFP:

“…identification of subcontractor(s) that perform key elements of work and are expected to perform more than 20% of the work…” In the proposal response, does the government want Offerors to identify only those key subcontractors performing more than 20% of the work, or key subcontractors (MEP, civil, etc.) in general, regardless of the percentage of work they will perform?

Vendor Comment: There is a requirement for a standard A325 high strength bolts for all bolted connections. Based on discussions with the testing agencies, this would require full time on‐site inspection during the erection process which would be very costly. Would the government allow the use of A325 tension control bolts?

Vendor Comment: According to the Window Schedule, Sheet A‐601 calls out window type “D” as a 1‐1/2‐hour aluminum frame. A supplier states the aluminum frames are not allowed in these rated assemblies and should be steel. Please advise.

Vendor Comment: According to the Window Schedule, Sheet A‐601 calls out window type “C” as a standard aluminum frame. Should these also be fire rated?

Questions/Comments

Vendor Comment: The format of the 8.5 x 11 pdf drawings are affecting accurate scaling capabilities.

Vendor Comment: Sheet A‐116 reflects an existing window south of the new door 122 to be installed in the existing building. Per note 5, it indicates a 2‐hour barrier and directs us to detail 2/A‐512, which is an eave treatment to achieve the rated assembly. Does this window need to be replaced with a fire rated window?

Vendor Comment: We received a bid invite for this project ‐ will you please clarify what the horizontal directional drilling scope of work is?

We see some reference to it on drawing C400, C402, but no quantities or pipe size.

Call for Final Questions and RFI's

The above referenced solicitation was posted to beta.SAM on January 28, 2021. We have received questions, requests, clarifications almost daily from interested parties. Interested parties appear to be a combination of prime contractors, subcontractors and/or potential suppliers.

Responses to several questions were provided directly to the interested party as the answer to their question was already provided in the RFP, therefore we directed them back to the RFP solicitation, specifications, and/or the plans.

This Amendment #2 provides responses to questions and/or requests received to date, as well as other Contracting Officer administrative comments, which will be beneficial to all.

Additionally, to be more efficient in our responses to your questions/comments, and to limit the number of amendments issued, we are requesting that you coordinate with your team, subcontractors and/or suppliers to consolidate your questions/comments/inquiries and submit to the Contracting Officer by close of business on February 18, 2021 via email or fax as follows:

We will respond to all questions/comments via a subsequent amendment no later than February 26, 2021.

Depending on the volume of questions received, questions submitted after February 18, 2021 may not receive a response.

To allow interested parties time to review and apply our responses to their respective proposal submittals, the subsequent amendment will also identify an extended response date. At this time the extended date is tentatively set for March 8, 2021, however, the official date will be noted in the next amendment.
