Owner’s Representative Service Opening Date: 8/20/26
Opening Time: 10:00 a.m. RFP Number 2581-26
This Addendum No. 1 is being issued to answer the following questions:
Question:
We see we are required to assist with budget management and estimating, please confirm estimating will be by CMR, and we will provide oversight and general review of their estimate.
Answer:
Correct.
We see that we are required to assist with the Grant, Grant application, PCR/PCT and other OSCGR/OGA procedures. Confirm the CMR will be taking lead in preparing and filing requirements for all these OSCGR/OGA procedures.
We see that we are required to assist with tracking of all change orders to OSCGR/OGA for review and approval. Confirm the CMR will be taking lead in submitting and reconciling change orders as needed for review and approval with the state.
We see that we are required to assist with monthly & final progress payment requests/applications along with SCG-1049R to OSCGR/OGA. Confirm the CMR will be taking lead with these payment request/application submissions.
Is there a preliminary Project Budget that can be shared with bidders? Please see the budget established by the Ed Specs as the current project budget including an accommodation for 2 Pre-K Classrooms.
Refer to links below.
Is there a preliminary Project Schedule that can be shared with bidders?
The capital plan has funds earmarked for the 28-29 school year.
Are there any Pre-Referendum documents (ie: preliminary studies) that can be shared with bidders?
Please see the Ed Specs document. Refer to links below.
Has an Educational Specification been developed? If so, can that be shared with bidders?
Please see the Ed Specs documents. Refer to links below.
Have any additional Project Team members been engaged yet (ie: Architecture &
Engineering, Construction Manager, etc)?
QA+M has been hired as the Architect on the project.
RFP Section 6, Requirements for Response to Request for Proposals, speaks of a “total fixed hourly fee.” Is it your intention for a total fixed or rather a “not-to-exceed” fee amount for the project as well as hourly rates to be submitted, or hourly rates alone?
Our intent is for proposers to submit hourly rates only for the Owner’s Representative team. A total fixed fee or not-to-exceed project fee is not requested at this stage. Any work will be authorized and compensated based on the submitted hourly rates and the terms of the resulting agreement.
RFP Section 10H, Background Checks, refers to CGS Section 10-222c. This statute speaks of staff who will have direct student contact. However, RFP Section 10F explains that our personnel are prohibited from making any contact of any kind with any student.
In light of this restriction, are background checks still required, and if so, who will conduct them, the respondent, or Greenwich Public Schools?
Pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes § 10-222c, “direct student contact” includes contractors whose duties involve working with or in proximity to students. The respondent is responsible for conducting all required background checks.
Are proposers able to include additional titles to those listed on page 13, Exhibit D: Fee
Schedule?
No. Proposers should submit fees only for the titles listed in Exhibit D: Fee Schedule on page 13.
Please confirm the scope of work necessary for the cost estimator. Are proposers responsible for developing the cost estimates at key project milestones?
Yes. The cost estimator will be responsible for developing and updating cost estimates at key project milestones, based on the scope and deliverables established for each project phase.
Please confirm that 'Exhibit 2' referenced under 'Requirements for Response to Request for Qualifications' in Letter L, is the 'Reply Sheet' starting on Page 15 of the RFP.
Yes.
