Carolina Solicitation # 140P5123Q0035

Questions and Answers

Question 1. Please provide additional information in specs or preference of carpet and tile size and color as well as preferred manufacturer or brand. Additionally, please advise who is responsible of moving office furniture and equipment to accommodate the removal and installation of the carpet. If contractor is responsible, please advise on where the furniture will have to be moved to.

Answer: The Park would like the contractor to provide quarry tile with matching durability, color, and size to be approved by Park official (tiles are estimated to be about 6" x 6"). Carpet tiles to match existing in durability and by size (2' x 2') and color to be similar or if other more suitable options available provide to Park official for approval. Moving furniture to and from the Parks provided storage location will be the responsibility of the contractor.

Question 2. Can the Government please confirm the magnitude of this construction project?

Answer: This requirement is considered a service under FAR Part 37 and advance disclosure of the magnitude of the project is not required.

Question 3. The Solicitation states that the Government wants the period of performance to start on 6/26/2023, which is the same date that bids are due and end on 8/25/2023. Page 8 of the solicitation then states the POP is 90 days after NTP. Can we assume that the latter is correct?

Question 4. What year was the building built?

Answer: 2000 – 2001

Answer: The park can make arrangements to block an entrance during installation.

Question 7. During the demo of tile, the tools make a good bit of noise. Would the customer want to close during that time?

Answer: It’s preferable that this work be performed during either oof or closed hours.

Question 8. There is tile popping loose directly over the storage room dividing wall. Can the contractor assume they must include this additional work needed here to firm up the subfloor once the tile is removed as a part of the bid?

Answer:

Question 9. Neither the scope nor the solicitation calls out specific materials/products to be used. Given the drastic change in price from product to product, can the Government please specify what product of carpet, tile, base, transitions, grout, and thin set it would like used? If not, can you please provide specifications for the required product?

Answer: The scope calls for materials that will be strong enough for the intended use and the Park would like to keep the look and color somewhat similar, however, during project formulation the existing tile was not found. The Park would like the contractor to provide options that would be best suitable.

Question 10. Will restrooms be accessible for contractor crew, or will we need to supply a porta potty?

Answer: Yes, restrooms will be available.
