About this file
This document is Addendum No. 1 to RFP-73-27, issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky Department for Facilities and Support Services, Division of Engineering and Contract Administration, for Design-Build Services at the Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center (WHFRTC) in Greenville, Kentucky. The project scope involves constructing new barracks with an estimated square footage of 8,500 SF, to be refined during the design phase. The RFP requires design-build contractors to provide dorm rooms accommodating standard queen-size beds, comply with ADA minimum accessibility requirements, and incorporate VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) HVAC systems. Building systems include electric water heating with the option to consider natural gas, potable water plumbing below slab, and accessible facilities throughout. The addendum clarifies that the 2018 Kentucky Building Code governs the project, Risk Category II per IBC Table 1604.5 applies, and the building is classified as a housing facility rather than a critical national defense structure. The Owner's Consulting Architect/Engineer will coordinate special inspection services, while the owner will provide geotechnical reports and site surveys to support contractor design efforts.
The addendum addresses fourteen Request for Information responses that establish binding requirements for proposal submission. Key clarifications include deferring to NG PAM 415-12, Table 5-3 for minimum square footage requirements, performing a Life Cycle Cost Analysis for building systems evaluation, and allowing gas consideration for water heating alongside the primary electric option. Design-Build contractors are responsible for coordinating with the contracting agency for additional site investigations, determining final building sizing and configuration during design, and establishing utility connection points. The Owner Consulting Architect/Engineer is actively onboarded to the project to facilitate coordination between the design-build contractor and the user agency throughout the design and construction phases.

Please see my RFI Responses in BOLD.
1. Is there any additional site information available for review regarding existing site grades, utility locations, or proposed utility connection points?
No additional information is available. Design-Build contractor to coordinate with the contracting agency for additional site investigations as required. Final location and configuration of the building and site components are to be determined during design.
2. Please verify the square footages identified in the general project description. The stated areas do not appear to be consistent with the referenced Table 5-3.
Defer to NG PAM 415-12, Table 5-3 as the required minimum. Final sizing and configuration to be determined in coordination with the user agency in design.
3. Please confirm the applicable building code for this project. The Codes and
Standards section appears to reference both the current 2018 Kentucky
