Questions and Answers

# Question Answer

1 Is the fence you are requesting temporary fencing or permanent? If temporary, how long will the rental be needed for?

The project will be replacing signs within Terminal and Concourse areas. The Port does not anticipate the need for temporary or permanent fencing.

2 Do liquidated damages apply to this scope? Please refer to project manual page 004100-2 "The bidder agrees to pay, as liquidated damages to the Port for any delay, the sum of $500 per day for each day of delay beyond the substantial completion date so promised.

3 What is the award criteria for this project? Please Reference project manual page 004100-2, The Contract will be awarded to the responsible bidder with the lowest responsive Base Bid

4 If remedial works is in signage contractors scope: Existing-finish restoration standard Reference: G0.001–G0.004 general notes; demolition plans; Section

024119 Where existing signs are removed, please define the required restoration standard. Is localized patching and finish matching acceptable, or is refinishing of the entire wall, ceiling panel, or architectural surface required? If an existing finish is unavailable or cannot reasonably be matched, please confirm that full-area refinishing will be treated as additional work.

Where existing signs are removed, localized patching and finish matching is acceptable. If finish is unavailable or cannot be matched, full-area refinishing will be treated as additional work at the Port’s discretion.

5 Full-size samples—quantity and disposition Reference: Section 101400, 1.4.F–G and 1.5.C–D Please confirm whether each required full-size sign sample is included within the scheduled contract quantity or is an additional unit. Identify which approved samples may be installed as finished contract work and which samples will be retained permanently by the Port or Designer and must therefore be priced in addition to the scheduled quantities.

Please Reference project manual page 101400-2, 1.4, F "100% Completed and approved product samples may be installed."

6 Can you clarify, is the final power connection to be in the signage installers scope?

Any changes of scope in contract documents will be issued as a change order.

49 Approved prototypes can be used on the project — do you anticipate the prototyping phase running in parallel, or only after approvals?

Reference project manual page 101400-2, 1.4, F "100% Completed and approved product samples may be installed." Fabrication should only start after approval of shop drawings.

50 Do we need to prioritize production of shop drawings for prototypes before total submittals?

Shop drawings will be a submittal to the Port. Reference Specification Section

013300 Submittal Procedures.

51 Please confirm the required paint extent at patch locations. Should painting be limited to the repaired area, or extend to the nearest boundary (e.g., corner-to-corner) for a uniform finish?

Where existing signs are removed, localized patching and finish matching is acceptable.? If finish is unavailable or cannot be matched, full-area refinishing will be treated as additional work at the Port’s discretion.

CONDUIT AND PROVIDE PATCHING AND PAINTING AS REQUIRED" , please provide desired routing and areas of impact that will require patching and painting.

Where existing signs are removed, localized patching and finish matching is acceptable.? If finish is unavailable or cannot be matched, full-area refinishing will be treated as additional work at the Port’s discretion.

56 Are fabricators prohibited from beginning fabrication until prototypes are fully approved?

Any fabrication initiated prior to such approval shall be performed at the fabricator’s sole risk and may be subject to rejection, removal, or replacement at no cost to the Owner.

57 Progress Payment Clarification We assume progress payments will be based on an approved Schedule of Values, invoiced monthly according to percentage of completion. Typical milestones include Bonds (if applicable), Engineering, Shop

Drawings, Material Procurement, Fabrication, Delivery, and Installation.Since the majority of signage project costs are incurred before materials arrive on site, we request confirmation that payments will be processed on the basis of % completion with supporting evidence, rather than solely upon installation.

Otherwise, bidders would be required to invest a substantial sum before receiving payment.Can you confirm if our understanding is accurate and meets your approval?

Reference Specification Section 007202 “Port General Conditions (FAA Projects)” and Specification Section 013200 “Construction Progress Documentation”

58 Could you please provide the pictures of sign types along with quantities that require removal?

Please refer to file titled "2016-14260 Virtual Tour.pdf". This was uploaded on

8/6/26 for 360 degree images at locations throughout the Concourses and

Terminal. Typical doors with signs will be shown.

59 Self-Performance: The Contract Documents appear to state both 25% and 8% self-performance requirements. Which percentage governs this Contract?

007200-27, paragraph 2 is correct "The Contractor shall perform, with his organization, an amount of work equal to at least 25 percent of the total contract cost." This has been corrected in Addendum 1.

60 For purposes of FAA Buy American/BABA compliance, please confirm whether the domestic-content requirements apply to the complete fabricated sign assembly, including aluminum, LED modules/displays, LED drivers, controllers, media players, power supplies and other electronic components, and identify any specified signage components for which the Port has already obtained or intends to obtain an FAA waiver?

The bidder should determine whether the sign assembly satisfies the BABA manufactured-product test based on the cost of its components. If the manufacturer can substantiate that the cost of U.S.-manufactured components exceeds 60% of the total cost of all components, the bidder may certify compliance even if some minor components are foreign or their origin is not specifically certified. The Port does not certify that all products and manufacturers are individually BABA compliant.

61 Are sales, use, or other taxes applicable to this project, and if so, which portions of the Work are taxable?

The bidder shall pay or ensure payment of sales, consumer, use, and other similar taxes required of the bidder and its subcontractors under any Law with respect to performance under this Contract. See Document 007200, Item 70-02, and

Document 007202, Item 6.29.

62 Apprentice Participation: If qualified apprentices are unavailable for specialized signage installation/rigging, will documented good-faith efforts under Section

16.6(D) satisfy the requirement, and grant us a waiver/reduction required?

Yes, in the event that the Contractor is unable to accomplish the Port’s target for registered apprentice participation, the Contractor shall demonstrate that a good faith effort has been made as detailed under Section 16.6(D) of Document

007202, and may provide supplemental information as listed in Section 16.6(E).

63 Is this project taxable? The bidder shall pay or ensure payment of sales, consumer, use, and other similar taxes required of the bidder and its subcontractors under any Law with respect to performance under this Contract. See Document 007200, Item 70-02, and

Document 007202, Item 6.29.

64 PlanetBids Attachments (RFI Clarification) We will reference bid document drawing/specification numbers wherever feasible. Can supporting vendor documents, drawings, or images (e.g., LED/sign components) be attached directly to an RFI when needed, or should they instead be emailed as required?

Our intent is simply to ensure there is a reliable means of including such supporting materials when clarification is necessary.

The question should be clearly stated in Planet Bids and not in an attachment.

Planet Bids does allow for attachments for reference.

65 Builder’s Risk / Installation Floater: Our insurance broker advises that sign installation is an installation exposure, not a Builder’s Risk exposure. Can an

Installation Floater be provided in lieu of Builder’s Risk?

Coverage will be reviewed for compliance prior to contract execution.

66 Umbrella / Excess Liability: Can the required $5 million liability limit be met through combined CGL and Umbrella/Excess coverage?

Coverage will be reviewed for compliance prior to contract execution.
