Office of Planning Design & Construction

PROJECT:NASM: Construct Bezos Learning Center (SF Project # 2206101) STEP 2

LAST UPDATED: 5/14/2024

1 Executive Order (EO) 14603 indicates that all federal projects valued at $35 million and above will require a project labor agreement (PLA) unless a federal contracting agency expressly grants an exception.

During Step 1, SI indicated via RFI response that until further notice, a PLA is not required for the BLC project.

Please re-confirm if a project labor agreement will be required on this project.

Until further notice, PLA is not required.

2 The Division 1 specifications document includes a Table of Contents that does not appear to be applicable to this project. Please provide an updated Table of Contents to provide a better understanding of scopes that are applicable to this project but are not yet included in the drawings or narratives.

The design is currently in 35% design development, thus not all tables are available yet. A preliminary draft of the 35%DD submission is to be provided with the latest available information as of that time.

3 Please advise if a site visit can be scheduled for this project.

Thursday, 23MAY2024 at 11am.

Please meet on the southwest corner of Jefferson Drive and 4th street. Please wear PPE to include: vest, helmet, gloves, glasses, boots, and long pants. Extra PPE will not be offered on site.

4 Please advise if the laser scan files can be provided for the existing areas impacted by this project.

The most recently available laser scan information has been superseded by latest construction conditions. The current state of the BLC project site is that it is under active construction from the Revitalization project, thus all existing conditions info remains in a state of flux.

5 Please provide the Revit model files for the Schematic Design Documents for our use in preparing our technical proposal.

A Dropbox link is being provided to access the available files.

The Work Plan section of the technical proposal requires the contractor to identify one Subcontractor for each of the listed elements of work. It is too early in the preconstruction process to commit to a single subcontractor. Please confirm that we may list more than one potential subcontractor and please identify how many subcontractors may be listed per element of work.

Please refer to response to RFI 16.

7 Section 019113 states that the government will employ an independent commissioning consultant. Commissioning is currently listed as an element of work that we are to identify a subcontractor for. Please confirm that Commissioning should be removed from this list or clarify the contractor’s responsibility for hiring a commissioning agent.

SI-OPDC is in the process of soliciting a 3rd party commissioning agent (CxA) contractor. Whole-building commissioning is a project requirement, thus prospective contractors should identify relevant resources on the contractor's team who would be responsible for meeting Cx coordination and related requirements.

Note 13 on S111N refers to 1972 Structural drawings and 1986 Structural drawings for reference for the existing structure. Please provide these drawings.

The referenced drawings are not the latest available design drawings that apply to current conditions on site. The current state of the BLC project site is that it is under active construction from the Revitalization project, thus all existing conditions info remains in a state of flux.

9 Please provide copies of the existing building As-Builts from both 1982 and 1986 for all disciplines for reference (Arch, MEP, Civil, etc.). If available, please provide the documents used for the demolition of the east building.

It is understood that this request refers to 1972-1976 As-built documentation (rather than 1982) for the Main Building and 1986- 1988 As-built information for the demolished Restaurant Addition.

This documentation is not available.

10 Are drawings available that would indicate the depth of the 14' x 15' combined sewer tunnel?

The design is currently in 35% design development, thus not all basis-for-design information is available at this time.

There appears to be an existing cistern at the SE corner of the site per C106UP. Are there drawings that would detail this cistern? Would remedial work be required at the system to bring it up to current code and re-use it for this project?

The existing cistern being referenced has been installed during the ongoing Revitalization project, thus as-built information remains in progress.

A green roof is indicated at level 02. Is a green roof required at the upper roof area?

No, one is not being planned or designed.

A 26'x16' overhead coiling door is indicated at the ramp entrance at column line 14.5 on A011LD. This door shows on the door schedule.

On detail 4/A-030LD, another door is indicated in front of the coiling door as a high-speed fabric door. This door is not indicated in plan or on the door schedule. Is the intent to have two doors at this location?

Yes. The design is currently in 35% design development, and so not all schedules have been developed yet.

Are drawings available from the current NASM project that would depict the curtainwall and stone details in the area adjacent to the BLC that require demolition and modification? Reference sheet AD-100. Stone shop drawings and curtainwall shop drawings in addition to contract drawings are requested.

The current state of the BLC project site is that it is under active construction from the Revitalization project, thus all existing conditions info remains in a state of flux and as-built information remains in progress.

Please confirm that the Exhibit Fabrication Shop will be vacated during construction to allow for the structural modifications. Please also confirm that spaces inside the existing NASM adjacent to the work area will be vacated to permit the new work to be installed.

The Exhibit Fabrication Shop (Suite P29) is vacant and will remain vacant from occupants and their FF&E during the project. Lower Level spaces to the west of the project scope delineation/Loading Dock will be occupied and in service and the project's design development has been anticipating that.

Page 527 of the solicitation indicates that the work plan requires submission of the names of subcontractors to be utilized for elements listed following paragraph d. This requirement is generally applied to complete design-bid-build projects and not typical for early contractor involvement procurements. Given the current status of the design we expect the vendors who will be performing on this project to be decided closer to the final design completion and GMP establishment. Please confirm the listing requirement in section d work plan does not apply to this pursuit.

Replace this portion of paragraph (d) on p. 527: “Provide the name of subcontractors for each element of work listed below or indicate what work will be performed by the prime contractor. You will be expected to use the subcontractor listed for each element of work unless written approval for change is received from the Contracting Officer in accordance with the contract clause entitled SUBCONTRACTORS. Failure to indicate who will perform the work for each item below will result in lower scores during evaluation of the proposal. For each subcontractor listed below, list three references with customer contact, address, email address, and telephone number. If the contact cannot be reached by the Smithsonian Institution during the reference evaluation process, the proposal may be scored lower.” Add this to (d): “During the construction phase, the CMc will compete at least three qualified subcontractors for all work on the project. Provide a list of the major subcontractors for each element of work.”

Please advise if the design model may be made available for coordination of the site utilization plan. We are open to signing a release form if that is requested.

A Dropbox link is being provided to access the files available from the Schematic Submission. The design model includes only architectural information as of the Schematic phase of design.

Our previously submitted RFIs included a request for a site visit of the site and impacted areas of the museum/loading dock. This is important for the development of our technical proposal. Do you know if this will be able to be accommodated?

Please refer to response to RFI 3.
