About this file

This document is an Addendum No. 01 issued by the Georgia Institute of Technology, an Equal Education and Employment Opportunity Institution, for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ-Step I) and Request for Proposals (RFP-Step II) to Provide Commissioning Authority Services for the "Smith & Howell Residence Halls Renovation" project. The Addendum provides supplemental informational items, including a GT Housing Master Plan, East Housing Planning Study, Residential Active Health and Well-being Concepts, Preliminary Schedule, Site Survey, Preliminary Geotechnical Report, East Housing Utilities Plan, and Historic Structures Reports. The Addendum also responds to several Requests for Information, clarifying the due date for the Qualification package, the requirement for a P.E. as the principal-in-charge, the intent for the Commissioning Authority scope, and the local office requirement.

The Addendum indicates that the LEED certification level for the project is Gold or better, and that the Design Professional will take the lead on the sustainability approach, with the Commissioning Authority providing input. There is no requirement for the Commissioning Authority to provide construction cost estimating services. The Addendum also confirms that there are no exceptions to the requirement for a local office in the Metro-Atlanta area.
