7 6/23/2025 Drawing C-101

RFP Drawing C-101, Note 2 states if Option 6 is awarded to reconstruct Avery Road and redirect all construction traffic onto Avery Road. If Option 6 is awarded, is it the USCG intent to reconstruct Avery Road upon construction NTP and use Avery Road as the construction haul route? If so, can we still use USS Tennessee Road as well?

Concur. See Amendment. Amendment will provide correction to Drawing C-101, Note #2.

The Contractor will not be restricted to phase the repair of Avery Road 'for the purpose of redirecting all construction traffic away from the primary hau route.'

8 6/23/2025 Drawing C-102

9 6/23/2025 Drawing C-103

RFP Drawing C-103 identifies Drainage Improvements Known Problem Areas 1, 2, 3. We do not see where this scope is detailed or called out to be included in this scope and price. Please confirm this work is not part of this task order? If so, please provide scope details.

Confirmed. Data is provided for information purposes.

10 6/23/2025 Drawing C-103

In review of RFP Drawing (C-103) and utilizing the floor plans provided with the RFP Drawings, the base bid multiplex housing building with the designated 4 units will not fit in the area identified on C-103. Please provide direction or alternate location where the base bid multiplex housing building is to be located?

The requirement to construct the base bid on the site of the demolished housing Unit #428 (Ref Drawing C-102) remains. However, the Government's intent that the Contractor is to fully utilize the site was not clear. The existing Architectural drawings, Civil Site Plans along with the approximate limits of the laydown areas on Drawings C-102 and C-103 did not adequately convey this requirement.

The Contractor is expected to utilize the entire site, as Amended, to construct the four base units. Drawings C-102 and C-103 are included within this Amendment. The list of modifications include;

1. Shrinking the size of the Contractor laydown area.

2. Expanding the footprint for the base bid (Note, the building arrangement need not resemble the multiplex conceptual arrangement that was provided).

3. Adds a second Contractor laydown area, which makes up for the lost laydown area.

11 6/23/2025 Specification 01800-1.1

In review of Specification section 01800, 1.1.2.4 it is not a requirement for the contractor to perform work on the primary side of the transformers or to replace or relocate transformers. In review of the proposed locations of the multiplex family housing buildings for the base bid and options against the provided Attachment A, ICAM Utilities Survey and it appears the underground network for the medium voltage feeder will be close or in conflict with the proposed multiplex family housing building. Please confirm if the DOR determines after award during design the medium voltage feeder will be close or in conflict with the proposed multiplex family housing building, the Contractor is not responsible for the relocation of the medium voltage feeder in conflict and it will be handled as a scope change?

The DOR will make the determination after award during the design stage. Each instance will need to be looked at on a case-by-case basis.

12 6/23/2025 Specification 01800-1.4

Specification section 01800, 1.4.6 specifies that the "Contractor shall determine the most efficient and economical main building finish floor elevation based upon the closest 100-year floodplain elevation to the site established by FEMA, the International Building Code and ASCE 24-14." "The site is in Zone X, per FEMA map 3604970331F dated September 5, 2007 & 360497V000B (dated December 5, 2013). The proposed buildings shall be designed to an ASCE 24 Flood Design Class 2 (moderate risk)." No base flood elevations or depths are shown within this zone. FEMA map 3604970331F shows the closest 100-year floodplain elevation to the site as Zone AE (EL 11/ NGVD 29). Please clarify the base flood elevation to be used for the project site?

This shall be determined by the DOR. However, if flood elevation information is not provided for Zone X, the DOR can use the nearest floodplain elevation to that zone.

13 6/23/2025 Existing Utilities

Please confirm if the Contractor should include consumption costs for existing utilities (water, electric, natural gas) used during the construction of the project?

If no appliances are being retained by USCG, please confirm the contractor is responsible for removal and disposal of all appliances.

Per RFP Specification 01800-1.9.3 there is no salvage. The Contractor is responsible for demolition of all existing appliances.

15 6/23/2025 Appendix F Appendix F for the Building Type - Duplex - 3 Bedroom and 4 Bedroom and Building Type - Townhouse - 3 Bedroom and 4 Bedroom as well as Drawings A- 102, A-103, and A-104 references frost proof hose bibbs. Specification section 01800, 1.11.3.5 references Freeze proof hose bibbs. Please confirm freeze proof and not frost proof are to be provided?

See Amendment. Freeze proof is the correct requirement. References to 'frost proof' have been eliminated via amendment. Updated Appendix F Individual Space Criteria Sheets included within this Amendment.

21 6/23/2025 Specification 01800-1.7

Specification section 01800, 1.7.2.1 states a sample wall shall be constructed on site prior to ordering and installing any exterior materials. Please provide more detail / specifics of the exterior wall mockup elements that are required?

Sample walls are a standard of practice in building construction projects. Having a wall ready for exterior finish materials, once received, is necessary to display how the construction of this building comes together and allows a complete understanding of how materials are to be attached, punctured, or connected.
