The purpose of this Amendment is to:

1) Extend the Bid Opening due date by five (5) calendar days, from 7 January 2022 at 10:00 AM EST to 12 January 2022 at 10:00 AM EST.

2) Provide answers to follow-up RFI questions for clarification of the RFI answers provided in Amendment 0004 concerning updated drawing and specifications. See the following:

· Q1: It still appears that Sheet A311 is missing. Was it/Will it be sent separately?

· A1: The information from sheet A311 is located on page 14 of 23 of the updated drawings provided in Amendment 0004.

· Q2: The answer to Question 6 references drawings and specs dated 10/28/2021, see below. The latest complete drawing/spec set I see on file is from Amendment 001, shown as “100% Construction Documents”, dated 07/30/2021 with no revisions noted. This is where the question 6 was generated. The latest complete specification I see is dated July 13, 2021. Was there a complete drawing/spec set issued sometime after Amendment 001?

· A2: This confusion stems from the placement of the date for the updated drawings. There are 3 pages (pages 3, 10 and 14) in the updated drawings provided in Amendment 0004 that are dated 10/28/2021. The issue date was not changed, the date remained 07/30/2021, but if you look at the left hand side of the referenced pages you will find the date 10/28/2021. These are the updated drawings we referenced in Amendment 0004. Also, the answer provided to RFI #6 did state specs dated 10/28/2021 were included. The specs in question were provided as part of the “Addendum 2” attachment of Amendment 0004, but the spec sheet itself does not clearly reflect this date.

· Q3: The most updated Drawings and Specifications have not been uploaded to Sam.Gov. Amendment 4 RFI Question 6 states “The incorrect drawings were sent out to bid. The drawings and specs that should be disseminated for bidding are called 539-21-211 100% Bid Drawings and 539-21-211 100% Bid Specs respectively and both dated 10/28/2021.” Amendment 4 did not contain the Drawings or Specs dated 10/28/2021 and we have not received the updated drawings to date. The most recent drawing available is dated 7/30/2021 from Amendment 1. Could the updated Drawings and Specifications be posted? Could the bid due date be extended to allow adequate review of the bid documents?

· A3: Please reference A2, which addresses the drawings and specifications concerns. The Bid Opening date is being extended with this Amendment.

· Q4: Do you need the original, signed bid bond in your hand before accepting our emailed proposal? Or, can we also email the bid bond and mail the original?

· A4: A copy of the Bid Bond can be sent electronically with the bid, but will also need the original to be mailed to the address in the IFB so the original copy can be filed.
