Addendum No. 9

Questions and Answers Solicitation No. S-P00675-00014580

SWOCC Career Technical Education / Diesel Technology Building Project Issue Date: August 28, 2025

Q13. Do we have specifications on things like doors, drywall, paint, plumbing and electrical?

Q13-A: MEP will be design build. Drywall for bathrooms should be 5/8” water resistant gyp board. Paint will be decided in future phases of the project. Door should be priced based on provided documents.

Q38. The plans are currently stated as SD phase. Please clarify if the selected GC is to participate in a pre-construction phase assisting in development of the construction documents and what their participation would be.

Q38-A: The GC will participate in the pre-construction phase, assisting in the development of the construction documents. The GC will participate in the final design build process and select a PEMB supplier. We would like the GC to assist with project management as needed.

Q39. The bid documents state the GC is to include a 5-ton overhead crane that will traverse three bays. Please confirm this is to be a trolley style crane and whether it is to be mounted to the PEMB structure or independently supported.

Q39-A: The trolley crane style is preferred. We are also open to a pedestal style crane.

For cost purposes, we are open to whichever mounting style is best.

Q40. Attachment D – Alternative Proposal Submission Form:

a. What values are to be used to arrive at the “Total Bid with All Add-ons”? It appears one would total the 80’ building cost (base project [from the description of the “Total Bid with All Add-Ons]) with the 100’ building costs (assumed as an add-on??) and the overhead crane cost (add-on 1), but this does not provide the cost for one building with a crane. It provides the cost for two buildings with a crane in one of them.

Q40-A1: We would like a bid for the 80’ building with the crane add on and a bid for the 100’ building with a crane add on.

b. Should the costs entered in the “Alternative Bid Option #1: 100’ x 56’ Building Option” not be the full cost for the 100’ build, but instead the difference between the base bid (80’ build) and the 100’ option?

Q40-A2: Enter the full cost, not the difference.

Q41. When filling out the bid form, we are to list the number of addendums received. To date, there have been three documents which have official addendum letter head and five documents which the file names state are addendums but do not have official addendum letterhead. Please confirm only those documents with official addendum letter head are to be listed on the bid form.

Q41-A: All addendum documents should be listed on the bid form. Including documents with file names listed as addendums.

Q42. Once the construction documents are completed, will the selected GC have opportunity to make revisions to the contract value based on the final design?

Q42-A: Yes.

Q43. Are Civil, Building, and Trade permits to be paid for and procured by General

Contractor?

Q43-A: Yes.

Q44. Is Surveying to be performed by General Contractor? Does Pinnacle do surveying in-house?

Q44-A: Pinnacle does not provide surveying in house. An existing survey for the site is available by the College. If an updated survey for the site is required, the cost will be born by the college. The contractor is responsible for surveying required for construction staking.

Q45. Is Structural Engineering to be contracted and paid for by General Contractor?

Q45-A: Preliminary structural plans have been provided. Provide pricing for structural items based on Addendum No. 4. Remaining structural will be design-build.

Q46. Sheet A1.0 “Chainlink Fencing per Owner”, Is this scope performed by others or

General Contractor?

Q46-A: This scope will be performed by the owner.

Q47. Sheet A1.0 Door Schedule shows man doors to be Solid Core Wood, please confirm?

Q47-A: Please provide bid based on Solid Core Wood. College may choose to go with

Hollow Metal Door in future phases.

Q48. Is there a ceiling on Restroom? If so, hard lid or ACT?

Q48-A: Yes, there will be a ceiling. It will be hard lid.

Q49. Are the overhead doors insulated? Do we have a wind rating for them? What is the finish for the interior and exterior?

Q49-A: Please provide pricing based on non-insulated metal doors for the overhead doors.

Q50. Near gridline C there will be metal building columns. Should we figure F-2 footings for these locations?

Q50-A: No. These will be interior columns. Foundations may need to be added at these locations if the crane option is selected. Please provide bid based on foundations shown in the preliminary structural plans. Foundation costs can be adjusted at a later date if necessary.

Q51. The pilasters shown on 8/S1.1 would prevent the continuous thickened edge shown on 9/S1.1. Could the footings occur below the thickened edge instead?

This would allow for the hairpins to be installed as well.

Q51-A: The thickened edge does not need to be continuous through pilasters.

Q52. The pilasters shown on 8/S1.1 should be at finish floor which would be above the new asphalt.

Q52-A: Asphalt at concrete edge should match finished floor height.

Q53. It appears as if the eave height was figured at 17’6”. The crane option would create a conflict with the overhead doors unless the building was substantially taller and footing sizes were adjusted for the additional building height and crane load. Do we have footing sizes based on the crane option? Do we figure a taller building to allow for the crane? If so, which building size do we figure the crane to be operating in?

Q53-A: Please provide a crane cost option for both building sizes. Updated foundation sizes will need to be adjusted for crane load during future phases of the project. The crane will only operate in the internal portion of the structure. Door or building height may need to be adjusted to accommodate the crane system.

Q54. Is a geotechnical report going to be required? If so, who will bear the burden of that work?

Q54-A: A geotechnical report will be required and will be coordinated during the next phase of the project. The cost of this will be born by the college.

Q55. Will the structural engineer of record be completing the grading plan, final structural drawings, and final civil plans?

Q55-A: This portion will be design build working with the contractor and will be completed to construction document phase.

Q56. Are there some basic requirements for the electrical? Beyond lights, plugs, fiber optic, and HVAC equipment, we do not have a list of equipment the owner plans on putting into the project.

Q56-A: No other requirements.

Q57. Do the MEP drawings need to be engineered or can they be designed by the subcontractor?

Q57-A: They may be designed by the subcontractor.

Q58. Is the building classified as an essential facility or a standard building?

Q58-A: This is not considered an essential facility.

Q59. What collateral load would the owner like on the building? Generally we suggest

1 lb minimum for lights and HVAC.

Q59-A: This should be determined by the HVAC contractor.

Q60. Radiant heaters are direct heat to an area. Which areas are we to figure heating?

One per bay the width of the building? Is there natural gas available?

Q60-A: The bay that holds the fire truck will need a radiant heater. The other three bays will require at least one radiant heater but should be determined by HVAC subcontractor.

Q61. We cannot find anything on the title sheet indicating a delineation of phase I & II.

To clarify, is phase I up to and including the rock building pad with all utilities to the building but no concrete/metal building?

Q61-A: Yes.

Q62. Errors and omissions insurance is required by general contractor, but this is usually handled by any design professional. Is it acceptable to have design professionals provide this insurance if a design professional is required?

Q62-A: Yes.

Q63. The ITB document (page 4) provides a list of Exhibits and Attachments.

Attachment F (Sample Agreement and General Conditions) is listed but has not been provided. Please provide.

Q63-A: It is currently uploaded to the Oregon Buys site.

Q64. Will the style of the contract be Design/Build?

Q64-A: Yes.

Q65. Attachment E (Related Acts Requirements) requires apprenticeship utilization to comply with ORS279C.533 which is only applicable to projects that exceed $3MIL.

This project has an engineers’ estimate of $1MIL, less than the threshold. Will the project require to utilize apprenticeships?

Q65-A: We are required to list out all provisions of the ORS. As the project will be under $3 MIL. Threshold, we will not need to comply with it.

Q66. The scope of work required in the parking lot Sheet C4.0 is unclear. Is the scope limited to the new ADA stall immediately adjacent to the new CTE building?

Please provide scope of work.

Q66-A: Parking lot 3 will serve as the main parking area for the site. The scope of work should include the required ADA parking displayed as well as the new asphalt limits displayed in Addendums No. 7 and No. 8.

Q67. What is the purpose of the project being broken out into two phases?

Q67-A: We are breaking the project into phases as we are still securing funds for the project.

Q68. The ITB document Section 1.2.4 (page 9) Project Construction Requirements states that this project has only been designed through Schematic Design Phase.

A good example is that there are no guidelines given for the building slab thickness and reinforcing. It is not possible for the college to compare bids when they will all be based on a proposer’s assumptions. How are we to proceed with providing even bids?

Q68-A: A preliminary set of foundation drawings have been provided for bidding purposes. See Addendum No. 4.

Q69. Addendum No. 2 was issued on 8/19/2025 to update the dates. There is also a document available on the College Procurement website titled “Attachment B corrected”, which lists a Closing Date of August 28, 2025, at 2:00pm Local Time. Is this closing date incorrect? And will a new Attachment B be issued by Addendum?

Q69-A: See Addendum No. 2 for correct dates. The new bid closing date is Wednesday

September 3, 2025 at 12pm Local Time.

Q70. The ITB document Section 6.2 (page 12) states that bids are to be submitted electronically by email only. Page 2 of the ITB states that the bids will be opened immediately following the closing time. Will there be a public bid opening where the bids are opened and read aloud?

Q70-A: Bids will be accepted in person as well. We will pen all bids in person on

September 3rd in Tioga Hall room 505 at 1pm Local Time.
