Regarding Key personnel. If a person is qualified, can any of those positions be filled by the same person?

a. If yes, which are allowed to be a dual hat position?

19‐Dec

23_Clean with Addendum does not limit overlapping of the

Project Manager, Job‐Site Superintendent, On‐site Quality Control

Manager, or On‐site Safety Manager.

Given the size of the project, would the government consider having the

Superintendent serve as the Quality and Safety Specialist, as well (“triple hat”)?

7‐Dec Please refer to Answer #7. 0001

Will the government accept a previously received Past Performance

Questionnaire for a project that does not have a CPARS?

I have it called out in the divisions there is fire suppression but there is no div.

21 in the specs and there is also no specs for the ADA appliances called out in the plans on A 7.2.

18‐Dec

Per fire suppression, please note that the table of contents in the

Product Manual/Specifications directs the Contractor to division

28 31 11 ‐ Digital, Addressable Fire‐Alarm System.

Specification Section 113013 Residential Appliances was omitted in error and is now included as part of this RFP response (B08

140P1424R0004 Attachment 1 Specifications Final CD 3‐23‐

23_Clean with Addendum_Addendum 2_SECTION 113013 ‐

RESIDENTIAL APPLIANC.pdf). Additionally, specific product information for the dishwasher is found in the plumbing fixture schedule on sheet P0.2, and the range hood is found in the mechanical schedule.

My last question is concerning the safety position and whether or not the on‐ site superintendent can also hold that position?

18‐Dec Please refer to Answer #7. 0001

12 I cant find division 25‐ Integrated automation in the specs. 18‐Dec

This project does not include full building integrated automation;

this item need not be considered and should be removed from the Table of Contents.

Plan sheet(s) E1.0 & E1.1 Power General Notes (C) Add Alternat #2: Replace All existing receptacles and switches in building with new. Statement also includes cover plates. The plan sheet(s) do not indicate where, how many, or rather they are single pole, double pole, 3‐way (Switches), seems that receptacles are marked however, the switches are not. There is no information regarding the note for the switches.

Is there is a location where the switches are called out in the plans? and if they are not, how many are there and the type.

21‐Dec

The intent of the alternate is that all receptacles and switch plates and covers in the building be replaced, even if not shown in the drawings; but that the drawings give the best knowledge of existing location and quantity based on site visit and existing drawings. They are indicated with the (E) existing symbol on the drawings for pricing of the alternate (E1.0 & E1.1 for quantities and types of existing receptacles, and E2.0, E2.1, and E6.0 for quantities and types of existing and new switch plates). They are labeled ‘Not in Scope’ and/or in grey, to demonstrate that they are not in the base bid. Notes #5 E2.0 or #4 on E2.1 within the rooms with the existing fixtures indicate that the ‘existing room/area controls shall be replaced, in same location, with new controls for current code compliance.’ The switches shown in these locations are in the location of the existing switches and show the replacement ‘W1’ (low voltage toggle switch) or ‘VSW1’

(vacancy wall switch) controls and ‘VS1’ (ceiling vacancy) controls in the ceiling where needed. Notes #2 on E2.0 and #1 on E2.1 indicate updating the fixtures in same location with updated controls and reference E6.0. E6.0 shows a fixture schedule

‘Existing Room Fixture – Lighting Fixture Schedule’ as well as what the controls such what ‘W1’ and ‘VSW1’ and ‘VS1’ are. The information lacking is what the switches are: these will need to be verified by the Contractor if the alternate is exercised.

On the door schedule E13 has an existing HM Frame but then asks for a HM door. Do I need to supply a new HM Door? The spec does not talk about any doors. Should I replace this door with an 18 gauge 707 Polystyrene core flush door?

29‐Dec

For pricing, please provide a hollow metal door meeting the minimum performance requirements of Level 2 and Physical

Performance Level B (Heavy Duty), Model 2 (seamless). A formal specification section will be provided upon award.

Northern Rockies Agency, Inc.'s prior approval submittal request for lighting fixtures for this project.
