All other areas not changed or otherwise modified by this Addendum shall remain in full force and effect. This Addendum is hereby made an integral part of the RFP document. Proposer(s) must be responsive to any requirements of this Addendum as if the requirements were set forth in the RFP. Failure to do so may result in Proposal rejection. See the RFP regarding requests for clarification or change and protests of this Addendum, and the deadlines for the foregoing.

The closing date REMAINS UNCHANGED:

April 27, 2022 at 2:00 PM Pacific Time

QUESTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS-

CLARIFICATION:

Anywhere in the solicitation that refers to Architectural/Engineering (A&E) is meant to mean Architectural or Engineering firms.

Sample Master Contract is attached.

QUESTION: Are you seeking a combined A&E team response or is it acceptable for individual firms A or E to respond?

ANSWER: Individual Architecture or Engineering firms can reply. We want individual firms, not teams.

QUESTION: Is the intention to go with a prime architect for every project or will individual subconsultants/engineers be selected as well or perhaps later as each project needs unfold?

ANSWER: Master contract holder can be a prime architectural firm or an engineering firm. When requesting proposals for individual project work authorizations, Owner will coordinate with Master Contract holders to identify needed sub-consultants.

QUESTION: During the mandatory pre-proposal conference for 21-0025, it was mentioned by a facility staff member that if a firm were to propose on multiple solicitations (i.e. 21-0025 and 21-0029), to make sure we are not using the same projects under the experience section of the proposal, and that BSD is looking for specific projects meant for that solicitation. We understand we are to select projects that best fit the scope of work, however, would it be acceptable to include the same project example on separate solicitations?

For example, a roofing/seismic upgrade project example may tie to both solicitations, but we wouldn’t want to lose points if we showcased the same project twice.

ANSWER: Yes, it is acceptable to include the same projects on multiple solicitation responses. All solicitations are evaluated independently. The comment during the pre-proposal meeting for 21-0025 was meant to emphasize providing project examples which are relevant to the specific solicitation.

QUESTION: On pages 11-12, 23-24 of the RFP document, the header references, “Solicitation No: RFP 21-0025” or “Solicitation No: RFQ 21-0025”, including some attachments.

ANSWER: This is a clerical error. All documents are for RFP 21-0029.
