Questions Submitted Tuesday, 7/19/2022

1. Would the DOH consider increasing the page limit from 25 pages to 40 pages?

We realize that Department of Health does not desire extraneous information. We basing or request on the following:

- Cover letter: 1-2 pages

- the PQS is 5 pages

- the SF330 including Part II: 24-29 pages Providing 5-10 projects, resumes for all major disciplines, and Part II for outside consultants

- Copy of our licenses will be 1 page

RESPONSE: The maximum page count will be increased from twenty-five (25) to fifty (50) pages. All pages after 50 shall be marked NOT APPLICABLE and will not be considered in the review process.

2. Is it possible to receive a PQS in Word or Excel to allow easier completion?

RESPONSE: Please contact Kathryn.Vowell@flhealth.gov to receive a Word file template of the PQS.

Question Submitted Friday, July 15, 2022 We are writing Re: RFSQ-01935 Architecture-Engineering Continuing Contracts for North Florida to ask if the 25-page limit has to be single sided or if they can be double-sided?

RESPONSE: Single sided. Per the instructions, all submittals will be via PDF. There are no single or double-sided sheets.

Question Submitted Wednesday, July 13, 2022 I noticed the continuing contracts advertisement for the DOH and wanted to know if your team was in need of 3D laser scanning for digital twin creation and field verification? With the digital twin, functional teams can collaborate through an interactive web-viewer and PDF floorplans, CAD drawings and 3D models can also be generated, accurately from the existing conditions.

Recently, we scanned the Lake Butler Hospital in Lake Butler, Florida to create life safety drawings, renovations and facility management. If possible, I would like to schedule a demo with you and your team to show how we can help improve facilities and future projects. If you would like a link to the 3D web viewer, please let me know.

RESPONSE:

Per the FAQ, we are soliciting for full-service design professional teams, not individual subconsultant providers.

Question Submitted Saturday, July 23, 2022 There is duplicate information requested by DOH's PQS form and the SF330. Duplicate information includes:

1. Items 1 and 2 of the PQS and Part 1 a, b, and c of the SF330

2. Item 6 of the PQS form and Section F of the SF330

If we submit both forms in their entirety, they would occupy approximately 28 pages, which is over the stated limit of 25 and does not allow room for any other required content. Will DOH consider raising the page limit and omitting duplicate form sections?

RESPONSE:

A) The maximum page count will be increased from twenty-five (25) to fifty (50) pages.

B) The applicant will include all requested information in both the PQS and SF330. They are two separate documents and information cannot be cross referenced.
