1. In the Original Solicitation, page 10 of 57, Factor 1 Technical Approach, we are required to describe technical methods and procedures we will employ to develop the project. In order to thoroughly describe our approach, we need to understand the basic intent for the remodeled 7000 square feet area. Is this area intended to be Patient reception and waiting, exam rooms, Radiology and/or MRI Testing, staff office space, nursing station, etc.? Depending on the intended use, certain construction preparation and approaches may be affected. Please describe the intended use of the 7000-square foot area to be remodeled.

Answer: The SOW was written to include “Programming”, for the A/E to provide the time and resource for this phase of the project.

2. Original Solicitation, page 5 of 57, item c states “at the end of each daily shift, spaces must be patient ready”. This won’t be possible in the 7000-square foot of remodeled areas requiring new walls, ceilings and mechanical electrical, etc. The other 20,000 square feet of renovated finishes can be occupied at the end of each work shift. Can the 7000 square feet of space be barricaded and contained under negative air for several weeks while it is being remodeled?

Answer: Answer in the SOW the A/E is required to provide a Phasing plan during the schematic phase of the project. This Phasing plan must reflect patient ready requirement.

3. In order to adequately describe our construction technical approach, will the 7000 square feet, composed of 2 separate areas (4200sf & 2600 sf respectively), need to be completed in different phases?

Answer: There are two separate areas that are shown as dotted area in the drawing that makes up the 7,000 sf of renovated space.
