8-01030 Alternate Bids-R1.pdf

This is an Alternate Bids document for the Mesa Community College New Vet Tech Lab Building project in Arizona, outlining the general building package requirements and two optional bid alternates. Bidders are required to submit alternate proposals on the Form of Proposal provided, stating the price difference (additions or deletions) from the base bid for each alternate considered. The two alternates listed are: Alternate Bid No. 1 for improvements to the existing access road south of the proposed site, and Alternate Bid No. 2 for a new sewer line along Longmore Way. Both alternates are detailed in the Civil Drawings contained within the Construction Documents. All related work not specifically affected by the bid alternates shall be accomplished according to the basic specifications, with the difference in alternate pricing to include the related work of all trades.

The project encompasses new building and site development for veterinary technology and sustainable horticulture programs. Work explicitly excluded from the bid includes geotechnical reports, materials testing, hazardous materials testing and abatement, and the supply of structured cabling equipment, racks, voice-data systems, audio-visual systems, and building security systems (cameras and access control), as these will be provided through separate direct-to-owner contracts. However, the infrastructure to support these systems must be included in the Base Bid. Bidders should refer to the General Conditions, Supplementary Conditions, General Requirements, and all applicable drawings and schedules for complete scope definition and construction details.
