Questions and Answers

1. QUESTION: How is the evidence email to be submitted? Is it as simple as attaching the PDF copy of the emails to the submission email? Are they to be a second attachment or a part of the section 1 submission?

Also, please confirm whether the mechanical ductwork in those rooms required to be painted. If so, does ductwork paint above the stated levels?

27. QUESTION: Refer to spec 099113 Exterior Painting and 090690 Color Schedule. No paint products are described in section 09113.3.6, only reference to 090690 Color Schedule which only lists color. Please provide paint system specifications for the exterior applications (doors & frames, bollards, concrete wall panels; CMU, gas & fire suppression pipe.)

28. QUESTION: Refer to spec 051200 thru 055213. These steel specs make reference to 099113 for matching primers with exterior paint systems but there is no information in 099113. Case in point are the rooftop stairs, ladders, rails and screen wall framing structure. Are they all unpainted galvanized or primed ferrous field painted or field paint galvanized.

This exception is routinely given and many past and present projects on the FAA campus have been supplied by these quality fabricators.

30. QUESTION: Refer Page A641 General Room Finish Schedule Note L. Note L states all exterior rails are galvanized or fiberglass and will not be painted. However, Elevations show exterior handrails to be painted. (refer 6/A202). Please verify if any exterior handrails are to be painted.

31. QUESTION: The Subcontractors are to submit PPS’s for the project, are we to include these with our proposal and identify who we intend to utilize?

ANSWER: The intent is for the General Contractor to have the subcontractors they intend to use on this project submit surveys as described in Section L.3 Instructions for Preparation and Submission of Proposals

(f) Past Performance Information in the SIR and Amendment 0001.

32. QUESTION: It appears that the Subcontractor’s PPS’s will be utilized in determining award. Typically we would receive subcontract quotes from multiple subcontractors and the low bid utilized. Since we have no way of knowing how a Subcontractor will fair in your PPS’s review and what value you will assign said Subcontractor that assessment could lower the value of our bid. We suggest that we be allowed to submit the low Subcontractor as our base bid, with alternate subcontractors included as additives that you may select if you deem that sub the best value. Would this be acceptable?

ANSWER: The Government will be selecting an offeror, which provides the best value to the Government. Since this will be a firm fixed price contract, the Government will not be accepting alternates for the subcontracting team.

33. QUESTION: Is it acceptable to provide Value Engineering options in our proposal for your consideration?

ANSWER: No. This is a firm fixed price contract to be based upon the SIR, Drawings, Specifications, and Amendments.

34. QUESTION: Since this is a Best Value award, and your instructions say “Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.”

What may be included in the proposal? Is our past performance review limited to just the PPS’s? Can breakdown of pricing be provided for “Best Value” analysis?

ANSWER: Please refer to Section L.3 Instructions for Preparation and Submission of Proposals for what is to be included in the proposal.

35. QUESTION: Can you elaborate on what you expect to see in the proposal beyond the basic documents provided?

- Main thermostatic mixing valve

- Wall hydrants

- Roof hydrants

- Control valves for shower The specs for each of these items only list manufacturer, but no model numbers.

37. QUESTION: As the subcontractors send out past performance surveys, I believe that they are to send them to the owners of the past projects, not the General Contractors. Is this correct?

ANSWER: Please refer to Section L.3 Instructions for Preparation and Submission of Proposals (f) Past Performance Information of the SIR and Amendment 0001.

38. QUESTION: The Bid Bonds needs to be a hardcopy original delivered by 2-19-21, correct? Everything else can be emailed?

42. QUESTION: We are hearing a couple of subcontractors mentioning this is due tomorrow? Is anything due on 2-9-21? Or is it all due 2-19-21?

ANSWER: Please refer to Page 1 Block 13 and Section L.12 Directions for Submitting Proposal(s) of the SIR, and Amendments 0001 and 0002 for when proposals are due.

43. QUESTION: Reference Section 131500 2.3 Pool Filters, “For consideration of an alternate, Contractor must submit request with all detailed design information to Architect at least 15 days prior to bid.” With the duration and time required to submit an alternate, it will not be ready in time for bid to be approved.

Can an alternate manufacture be utilized that meet the design requirements of the specifications? If alternate filters have to be submitted in advance as the specifications indicate, can additional time be allowed or an accelerated process be put in place to review alternates now? Keeping in mind it will take 5 working days to prepare an alternate request once we have confirmation.

ANSWER: According to spec section 001250, Part 1, 1.4, the CO will only consider requests for substitutions within ten (10) days after the award of the contract.

44. QUESTION: Since subs are required to turn in the PPS 10 days before the bid date, will there be a list of accepted subs available to general contractors?

ANSWER: There is not a list of general contractors. Also, please reference Section L.3 Instructions for Preparation and Submission of Proposals (f) Section II – Past Performance Information of the SIR and Amendment 0001 as to when PPS are to be submitted.

45. QUESTION: It is our understanding that the surveys need to be sent to our current or past clients to grade our performance so that we may be in consideration for this project. However, we are hearing some conflicting information such as we need to list current or previous General Contractors, we have done work for to grade our performance. Can you clarify?

ANSWER: Please refer to Section L.3 Instructions for Preparation and Submission of Proposals (f) Section II – Past Performance Information of the SIR and Amendment 0001 regarding Past Performance Surveys.
