Project: Judge Rice Courtroom Lighting Date: 6/5/2018 RFI Questions and Answers

- What is the performance period? 90 days performance period as stated in the RFP.

- How often would work stop do to loud noise? As directed in the courts. It does not happen very often, but it is important to note that court does take place on the same floor. All known loud activities should happen after hours.

- Dumpster location? The building will provide a space in the dock area big enough for one 30 yard dumpster. All other equipment the contractor wishes to be stored at the dock must fit in that foot print. No other space is available on the dock.

- Asbestos abatement? We are in the process of having materials above ceiling tested. If those results come back prior to the bid due date we will share. If not assume that no hazardous materials exist.

- Secondary site visit? Needs to be coordinated and would be an organized visit with all bidders requesting one on one.

- Projected start date? We are estimating the project award around 7/27/2018, with the onsite notice to proceed around 9/14/2018, giving time for security clearances and submittals between award and onsite NTP.

- Security clearance time frame? Typically 6 weeks for a full tier 1 clearance. There are other clearance options that have a shorter timeframe, but those are for people that will not be required to be onsite for the duration of the project.

- Contractor parking? Offsite parking for construction employees. No onsite parking will be provided. Drop offs at the dock for tools and materials are allowed.

- If a person is cleared with EPA is that compatible with GSA? Other agency badges are separate from GSA and will need to go through the GSA security clearance process.

People that are cleared with GSA will still need to submit a CIW to update their working record.

- Storage of material will be on project material? There is limited storage space in building.

The jury assembly room can be utilized for storage as long as it is returned to the exact condition it was at the start of the project.
