About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) Question and Answer document for solicitation 1240BH26Q0028, a General Services Administration (GSA) Office of Inspector General Act (GAOA) South Park Office Rehabilitation project at Pike National Forest under the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. The document provides clarifications and answers to contractor inquiries submitted during the pre-bid phase.
The RFI addresses three primary technical inquiries and three site visit questions. Regarding the roof snow-melt system, the Government confirmed that specifications are detailed in drawing A1.4 and specification section 077143, with coverage areas shown on drawing A1.3 indicating electric heat panels, valley heat panels, and heat tape locations; contractors should use the provided scale to estimate linear distances. For the chain-link fencing requirement, the Government clarified that approximately 165 linear feet of fencing is required per drawing sheet C1.1, with all measurements requiring field verification per Specification Section 010150. Site visit questions confirmed that window trim is metal rather than wood as originally shown, that all personal items and furniture will be removed or locked upon work commencement, and that employee relocation during construction may be possible pending contractor award confirmation with the Contracting Officer's Representative. The Government also clarified that the only substantive changes from the previous year's solicitation were an extended performance period to account for potential snowfall impacts and the addition of new ceiling insulation installation work. The project scope includes roof replacement with standing seam metal roofing, ice and snow melt systems with electrical circuits, interior and exterior modifications, communication and electrical upgrades, and chain-link fence installation with associated gates and electrical components.

RFI #1 – Could the Government please confirm the required footage and associated electrical requirements for the roof snow-melt system, including the extent of coverage and any applicable drawings or details necessary for bidding?
The snow melt system is detailed out in drawing A1.4. On drawing A1.3, it denotes where on the roof the electric heat panel, valley heat panel, and heat tape inside the downspouts and gutters will be. A scale is provided on the drawings to estimate linear distances. The type of different snow melt system specifications is listed in specification section 077143 titled Roof Snow and Ice Melt System.
RFI #2 – Could the Government please confirm the exact linear footage of chain-link fencing required for this project? The Schedule of Items identifies the fence as a Linear Foot (LF) pay item, but we were unable to determine the total quantity from the solicitation documents.
On drawing sheet C1.1, a scale was provided to estimate the linear distance of the chain link fence. It is approximately 165 feet of fencing. All measurements must be field verified before installation per Specification Section 010150, subsection 1.7 Field Verification.
Site Visit Question #1 – It is noted that the trim along the windows is wood, but upon inspection onsite it is metal. Is that correct?
Yes, the trim above and below the windows as shown on drawing A1.1, PH1, the dark brown above and below the window is metal.
Site Visit Question #2 – Will all personal items around the office be put away or stored upon the start of the work on this project? Will the furniture be locked? Will the site be occupied during the duration of the work?
All employees’ personal items will be removed or stored upon the start of the work on this contract. Any furniture that has the capability to do so will be locked to help with ease of moving and to protect any items inside the furniture. In the past, the District Ranger has offered to relocate the employees during the duration of the work. The COR will ask again upon the award of the contract to verify that it is still possible to do so.
Site Visit Question #3 – This contract was solicited last year. What changed?
The only changes were to make the period of performance longer to account for potentially large snow falls that could impact the work being performed outside and the addition of installing new insulation in the ceiling.
