6. Can a PDF or CAD files of the plans be provided so we can better determine the number of phases per manufacturer for the RDI pricing?

7. The excel sheet lists the fabric on some items as COM alternate fabric. Should the fabric called out in the guidelines be priced in all cases should the chair be priced in a standard grade fabric with the fabric cost listed as an alternative if it is a COM?

Please see revised Attachment B-1 - Minimum and Attachment B-2 - Optional.

8. In the specifications, some of the items show a customer owned alternative fabric is to be used. Fabric specifications are needed in order to accurately determine costs. May I get the fabric specifications? Who is the specifying design firm?

9. Please forward the Haworth cut sheets for TB.01, TB.02, TI.01L and TI.01R for the

Optional proposal, they aren’t in the package.

10. T.08, please confirm if power is needed in this table and if so, what power unit should be included. I recommend PS0800 for these tables.

Power is not needed for T.08 Coffee Table.

11. T.01, this table appears to be specified with 3 power units, however due to the center base, these power units cannot be spaced evenly on the table. I would recommend either changing this to 2 power units so they can be placed between the bases or, we can request custom pricing for this table for a 4th base to be added.

The T.01 should have 2 power units, see Revised Attachment B-1 Pricing Schedule.

12. T.11, please confirm if power is needed in this table and if so, what power unit should be included. I recommend PS0800 for these tables.

FDIC needs power on this table, 2 power units with 3 power and 3 USB in each unit, here is the power unit number, PS0721.

Power is not needed for T.21.

Awards will be made per Manufacturer. All work will be performed under a FDIC awarded Contract.

16. What is the difference between the minimal spreadsheet vs the optional spreadsheet?

The Dallas Regional Office Expansion Furniture requirement is divided into Attachment B-1 Dallas Regional Office Expansion Furniture Pricing Schedule – Minimum and Attachment B-2 Dallas Regional Office Expansion Furniture Pricing Schedule – Optional.

Attachment B-1 Pricing Schedule – Minimum represents the minimum quantity of furniture required by the FDIC Dallas Regional Office.

Attachment B-2 Pricing Schedule – Optional represents an optional quantity of furniture the FDIC Dallas Regional Office may require based on construction. The optional quantity of furniture are not definite and are not purchased with the initial minimum by this contract. The optional quantity of furniture will be scheduled with the Contractor and provided following the execution of a bilaterally executed modification to the Contract. The Contractor shall provide optional furniture on an as-needed basis where the FDIC shall have sole discretion to determine the need for optional furniture. FDIC is not obligated to contract for any estimated amount of furniture. The FDIC Oversight Manager shall initiate and manage any request for optional furniture purchase. If the optional furniture is required, the Oversight Manager shall notify the Contractor in writing (Technical Direction Instruction) with a copy to the Contracting Officer. Each technical direction will include the quantity of optional furniture required.
