X X X The purpose of this modification is to provide answers to questions.

Questions and Answers.

1. Is the Offeror required to submit Standard Form 1442 (SF1442) with the Phase I proposal? If yes, please advise under what Factor it is to be submitted.

The SF 1442 will be submitted for both Phase I and Phase II.

2. Is the Offeror Required to submit Representations and Certifications with the Phase I proposal? If yes, please advise under which Factor it is to be submitted.

Representations and Certifications will be submitted with Phase II.

3. On the SF 1442, it states “a hard copy bid bond must be received at the address listed in block 7 prior to the closing date and time” and Item 13b box is checked for an offer guarantee. Is this a requirement for Phase I even though no pricing is submitted by the Offeror under Factor I?

Bid bond will be submitted with Phase II.

4. FACTORS REQUIRED FOR PHASE 1 SUBMITTAL: The SOW states this is a two step proposal with only Factors 1 thru 4 to be turned in with the first phase (no pricing). However, Factors 5, 6, & 7 are listed under Phase 1 Submittal Requirements. Please confirm which Factors are required for Phase 1 submission.

Please see page 12 and 13 for which factors are required for each phase.

5. CLARIFICATION OF BID FORM: The Bid form on page 11 of 68 of the RFP requires a total price for the entire project. It also states on the bid form 90 days for total completion. Also in the RFP page 1 and the SOW the time for performance is 260 days with 130 days for construction after approval of design documents. Please Clarify.

The Period of Performance is a total of 260 days. 140 days for design and 120 days for construction.

6. CLARIFICATION ON PROJECT EXPERIENCE MINIMUM AMOUNT: On Factor 1 page 14 the required size of project experience is states as a minimum of $500,000. On page 15 under (2) design experience it requires: $5000,000. Please clarify the required experience is $500,000. For both the prime and the designer.

Yes, the minimum is $500,000 for both the prime and designer.

7. ARRANGEMENT FOR SITE VISIT: In the RFP it recommends a site visit prior to proposal and that it will be arranged by the CO. The proposal date for Phase 1 is July 23. It also states no visit will be conducted until after the Phase selection for Phase 2. A site visit is very much needed for a proper Phase 1 proposal. Please arrange a site visit for all or allow us to contact the COR to visit the site. Please provide the name and contact information of the COR.

A site visit will be conducted for Phase II offerors only.

8. CONFIRMATION THAT DESIGN TEAM MEMBER AND/OR MAJOR SUB MAY HAVE EXPERIENCE THAT MEETS DESIGN/BUILD $500,000 REQUIREMENT: Please confirm that the design team member and/or a major subcontractor’s relevant experience may be used under Factor 1 as long as documentation of commitment is provided if the Prime does not have 1-3 relevant projects.

Please review paragraph one of page 15. This will answer your question.

9. PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE FOR DESIGN BUILD TEAM MEMBER PRIOR TO CURRENT COMPANY: May the design subcontractor (A/E) use experience from previous firm or employer for proof of experience and qualifications under Factor 1 part (2) as long as it is indicated as such?

No, experience shall be with current employer.
