Based on California’s licensing requirements as linked above, the Joint Venture itself would need to be licensed. In order to obtain it, both Joint Venture partners must first be certified in California.

Q5: I am writing to inquire about a site visit for this project.

Q6: Is it possible to view the buildings in person? I know that a virtual site visit is suggested but being that the buildings are in such poor shape it would be helpful to view them with in person to assess preparation. Also, in order to validate the measurements as stated in the summary of work prior to bidding we would need to be able to measure for ourselves.

A6: No, we do not have procedures in place to support an on-site visit for this project at this time.

Q7: How many windows are operable and not fixed on the two homes? In order to fully perform lead stabilization on the exterior windows, we will need to open the windows to stabilize the sills. That process involves the initial action of going inside of the homes and having access around each of the windows (on the interior side) so that the interior frame of the window can be

Solicitation No. 140P8420Q0039, Attachment No. 08 masked off and plastic can be secured to the floor surrounding each window. After the exterior lead stabilization is complete and the windows/sills are HEPA vacuumed on the exterior, you have to go back into the interior and remove the plastic containment and HEPA vacuum the window and the floor around it. The residents should not be inside the house during the lead stabilization. Will the residents have items/furniture moved away from any windows that open on the interior of the house?

A7: The Home Ranch Main House is currently unoccupied and NPS can coordinate access to the interior space for the treatments described. The Murphy House is currently occupied. NPS will coordinate scheduling with the resident to allow these treatments, and any other interior access that is necessary for the completion of work. Regarding the question about fixed vs operable windows, we do not currently have that information at hand, but will collect that information and provide it ASAP via a future Amendment to the Solicitation, expected to be published early in the week of June 15th.

Q8: Will any bushes or plants up against the buildings be trimmed away prior to the painting?

A8: NPS will implement vegetation maintenance on the buildings prior to the performance of the contract. The trees and brush will be trimmed away from the siding and roof of the Main House.
