A04: Yes – FSC certified lumber is required. FSC requirement is called out in the rough and finish carpentry sections for the repair of the wood stud walls, plus wood doors and window repairs.

Q05: Re: Paint Scope – Sheet A2.5 states that only specific items or areas are to be repainted, and the paint conservation specification only lists paint conservation at graffiti locations. Are areas that are shown as existing paint and not graffiti, to remain as is with no work? If work is required at the non graffiti existing paint areas, what is required?

A05: Yes, many surfaces are to remain as they are. Bidders should refer to the finish schedule on A2.5 for areas with (E) PT [existing paint] or PT [areas to receive paint] as well as the Interior Paint Finish Notes at the bottom of the schedule. In general recreated wall surfaces (admin. toilet rooms, showers) will need paint, and the east cellblock, cells #9 and #10 are also more restored.

Q09: Is the Historic Jail located on Federal lands? Is a California’s contractor’s license required or will being licensed in other states be sufficient, as is normally the case.

A09: This project site is located within the State of California, on lands that are administered by the Federal government through the National Park Service. This project site is located upon lands that are areas of “concurrent” jurisdiction, meaning the State of California has reserved the right to exercise, concurrently with the United States, all of the same governmental authority. As a result, State and local laws are applicable at the same time Federal law pertaining to the area also applies. The National Park Service has evaluated the effect of State issuance of a contractor’s license on any resultant Contract award and has concluded it will not unreasonably interfere with Federal functions. Consequently, the National Park Service does not object to the State’s exercise of the State laws and regulations regarding issuance of a contractor’s license to perform the work. Therefore, the prime contractor shall possess a current California Contractor State License classification such as “B” (General Building Contractor).

Note: This is a partial list of questions received to date. All questions received to date are under review and the answers to those questions will be issued via Solicitation Amendment as soon as possible.
