DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM OR INFORMATION BEING REQUESTED

Please be specific as possible:

1) The RFQ on page 34 of 39, #2 Requirements for Submittal state there is a requirement (h. 2) for a C-36 License. Can the Prime use its Subcontractors License to meet this requirement?

2) To confirm, there is no Bid Bond, performance and payment bond requirements?

3) To confirm, there is no past performance requirement?

4) Is there any work in interstitial spaces?
