About this file
This is a Q&A document dated December 12, 2024, addressing bidder questions for a National Park Service bathhouse rehabilitation project. The document contains six questions and answers covering various aspects of the solicitation.
Key details include: The pre-bid job walk is scheduled for December 17, 2024, with potential for a follow-on walk if requested in writing. The bid date extension is under consideration in response to contractors' request for more time due to holiday season impacts. Regarding project experience requirements, the agency clarified that projects do not need to be completed to be considered - any percentage of completion is acceptable, though substantial completion is defined as receiving a building certificate of occupancy. The document also confirms there are no known endangered species that could affect construction, and clarifies that "Part I" of referenced drawings may refer to full-size versions rather than reduced drawings.

Questions and Answers – 12/12/2024
1. We have downloaded 08_Section_J_Attachment_4_HOSP_CD_Part_II_20231027_Reduced_Drawings, however Part I of the plan set seems to be missing. Can you please add the Part I plans to Sam.gov so that we have the entire document to review?
Answer:
There is no Part I concerning the ‘Reduced Drawings’, Part I may be referencing a copy of the ‘full-size’ drawings.
2. We respectfully request that the job walk be rescheduled until after the first of the new year, or to schedule a second job walk to allow for sufficient time to review the plans that have yet to be released.
The pre-bid job walk is scheduled for December 17, 2024; follow-on job-walk may be considered if a written request is submitted.
3. We respectfully request the bid date to be extended to the end of January. Typically, during the holidays, we lose a couple of weeks, and a lot of subcontractors won’t look at the project until after the new year. This extra time would allow subcontractors to produce competitive bid proposals for your project, resulting in a more competitively bid project overall. Thank you for your time and consideration.
An extension of the bid date is being considered.
4. Is it acceptable for projects to be classified as 'in progress'? If so, what percentage of completion is considered appropriate to meet the requirements?
The projects shall not be classified as ‘in progress’; substantial completion is achieved when a building certificate of occupancy is received from the AHJ. In some instances the Contracting Officer will provide the contractor a letter of ‘Beneficial Occupancy’ on areas that are deemed complete – this can happen at any stage of construction.
5. In FACTOR 2 – PROJECT EXPERIENCE, it states: "Submit the attached 'Project Experience' form addressing specific experience aspects below for up to five (5) relevant projects completed in the last five (5) years. Separate forms should be submitted for each project." We currently have several projects underway, each at different stages of completion. In some cases, agencies specify a minimum percentage of completion for a project to be eligible for consideration. For example, we have a school project that is approximately 75% complete and shares some similar components. Would it be acceptable to submit this project, given its current stage, for Project Experience consideration? Could you please clarify how complete these projects for FACTOR 2- PROJECT EXPERIENCE need to be?
Any percentage of completion is acceptable.
6. Are there any endangered species that could potentially affect construction that we should be aware of?
None known of at this time.
