7. The Bid Schedule does not include CLINs for the Multi-purpose Building. Where should the price for this building and the associated site/civil features be included on the Bid Schedule?

A: This is a clerical error as there should have been an additional table for the optional items pricing. An amendment will be issued shortly to add said table and optional items clause.

8. Please clarify the incoming power system design. As per the email below from the Wasco County PUD Engineering Manager, a major upgrade to the electrical utilities will be required. He indicated that he has talked to no one regarding this renovation. Therefore, we can't get any information from them until this system has been designed. Who pays for the PUD charges?

Without having a design, we do not know what kind of metering gear will be required and yet the Note 3 on drawing E100 requires us to replace the existing meter base(s). Are the new meter bases to be mounted on a wood or metal structure? What are the specifications for these structures? If we can't get any clarification, we can only bid on what the drawing is showing and we know from our discussion with the PUD that this will not work.

A: We cannot answer this query at this time. Please structure your pricing based on how the specifications in the solicitation are currently written. If, during the performance of the contract, the need arises to alter the specifications, a modification will be processed at that time with the contract awardee.

9. We respectfully request a 1-week extension to the solicitation’s close. Current market demands and the upcoming federal holiday are impacting several key subs’ ability to obtain pricing in the time that remains.

A: Request is approved for a one (1) week extension and shall be incorporated on Amendment #0001.
