Specification 04-01-20 Para 1.5D states- “every mason shall construct a mock-up for each activity that they will perform. Only masons who have demonstrated proficiency in a task per the approval of the Architect shall be permitted to perform that particular task” Does that mean that each and every mason must prepare a mock up for each of the multiple masonry tasks and receive approval from the Architect prior to beginning the work?

What will be the Architect’s review period to review and approve the individual task mock-up for each and every mason. In theory this could exceed 20 mock-ups that would need Architect approval assuming only 5-6 masons being on the project. Please confirm that each mason must prepare an individual mockup for each of the masonry tasks to be performed while restoring the masonry.

The mock-up process in 04 01 20 Masonry Cleaning will be approved through the submittal process. Submittal List in Specifications Section 04 09 20, Pages 55 -56.

If so, where do we find it?

See Solicitataion, Page 8: SECTION C – SPECIFICATIONS / DRAWINGS. After the summary of the project location and description, the Solicitation states:

"Specifications and drawings are attached and incorporated herein by reference. Refer to SECTION J.

Contractor to provide all materials, equipment, supervisions, labor, tools and all construction services necessary to complete the work in accordance with the terms and conditions under this Contract." The Contract documents provide the complete scope of work.

Given the new proposal due date of 2/17/2023, we request an additional extension to the RFI deadline to at least 2/3/2023 to allow time to generate questions.

The question deadline has already been adjusted to 1/26/2023. This will allow for thorough answers to the questions. Questions can still be submitted after the deadline, however, those answers may not be posted.

Please provide a comprehensive list of historic items that are to remain inside of the building.

Amendment Non 02 to the Solicitation provided the following list of exhibits documents: 013591_L1_NH GWC List of Objects, and 013591_L2_CR GWC List of Objects.

Can said solicitation be divided into two separate solicitations/contracts/awards: One contract specifically for the removal, transportation and storage of the artifacts contained in the Carver Museum and another contract for the actual restoration and rehabilitation of the Carver Museum Building?

To separate this into two requirements would require coordination efforts between two contractors and increases the risk to the Park Service. To mitigate this risk, the requirement is solicited as one contract thereby allowing the Prime contractor to control the entire project.

Confirm that Specifications Pg. 01 35 91 (appended) - 4, from Section "EVALUATION QUALIFICATIONS - The successful bidder must have the following"(all 5 bullet points) is deleted. Confirm that Specifications Pg. 01 35 91 (appended) - 4, from Section "EVALUATION QUALIFICATIONS - The successful bidder will" (bullet points 3 and 4) are deleted.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this Scope of Work is to solicit bids for packing, transport, storage, and re-installation of historic artifacts from the George Washington Carver Museum. As a part of the project, the artifacts will be packed and transported to the contractor’s climate-controlled facility.

These objects are to be placed in a secured, monitored, museum quality storage facility with temperature and humidity control. After the renovations to the Museum are completed, the objects will be transported back to the Museum, unpacked and re-installed.

This project requires use of a moving staff skilled in the knowledge and use of museum quality packing and crating techniques using a selection of archival quality materials and equipment that are essential to the long-term preservation of these significant historic objects. Museum quality packing and crating techniques are acquired through extensive experience in the specialized handling, protective packing and careful moving of a wide range of irreplaceable museum collections using specialized materials and knowledge.

Questions resulting from the pre-bid walkthrough or pre-bid solicitation phase must be submitted in writing to the CO on or before the due date for questions. Please advise the
