Solicitation 12445223B0004, Amendment 0001
Q&A below. This should be ready for posting but you and I may need to confirm #3 and #4. Regardless, probably best to get these out for interested vendors to stay on schedule with proposals due 5/26/2023 NLT 2:00pm
1. From Tellico Site Visit, related to damaged siding, sheathing, and framing and “Unforeseen Conditions”?
This would be extensive and unexpected. For example one contractor asked about if extensive framing damage is found and would he need to account for complete sill replacement. Our reply was we do not anticipate that extensive nature of damage. One damaged siding section may get into framing but this is expected to be localized (within a 6 ft area or less)
2. The Forest Service made an erroneous statement regarding inclusion of an exterior door (Tellico Office Basement, Building number 1000 on drawings). This is not included in this work. The scope and schedule of items remains unchanged.
3. Are interested contractors required to respond to both seed projects?
No, but pricing is needed on at least one seed project in order to be evaluated for price reasonableness.
4. Wages, Construction wages vs Service wages?
Service Contract Act wages are posted, please post the Davis Bacon/Construction wages.
5. From Unicoi Site Visit, related to condition of windows and level of effort:
Overall, our intent is to repair and paint the exterior building shell to prevent moisture intrusion. We are not seeking restoration. Our intent is to repair existing windows, not replace. Only remove old glazing that is cracked and loose and necessary to secure glass. Repair and caulk so that paint can be applied for a generally uniform appearance. Ensure operable windows remain operable; Currently inoperable windows will remain inoperable. (See Revised Scope)
6. What is the roof pitch at Unicoi Buildings?
8:12. (Field verify prior to starting work.)
