Q & A LCHS Stadium

Can I get a copy of any addenda that have been released to date? No addenda have been released to date, just the original solicitation.

What is the overall budget? $30,000,000 - $40,000,000

List of Interested Parties? Any architecture firm with Stadium Experience in Central Texas, stadiums in size of 7000 spectators.

Can you please share the location of the pre-proposal meeting on March 8th? It is not listed. Also, will there be a virtual option? This is what I'm seeing on the submission - but I wanted to confirm and make sure we're not showing two different places. Do you see any other locations listed on your end?

There will not be a virtual option - it's non-mandatory.

My firm can provide the “Roofing Consultant” services mentioned in the scope.

Can my firm submit for these services only? Or is the ISD looking for a comprehensive architectural firm?

We are looking for a comprehensive architectural firm.

I didn’t see where the number and type of copies required to submit was mentioned. (Originals, copies, flash drives, etc.) Can you provide that info?

One Original, Two copies and a flash drive.

How many copies of the submission does NBISD want? It does not specify in the RFQ document

Three, two copies and one original

Is there a page limit?

No, but we would like the submission to be as efficient as possible.

Question #6 on the top of page 7 of the RFQ seems like a contractor question. Is this relevant for architecture firms?

I would recommend the firm project can safety policies/requirements/practices, if applicable

The RFQ references Bonding requirements – is this relevant for this RFQ?

Bonding requirements will be part of the construction package

Are the forms listed on Page 38 of the RFQ response the only required forms for our response?

These are the forms required by NBISD to place the vendor in our system and issue PO's and work acknowledgements, these forms will be required of the selected firm.

As part of the RFQ submission, is it the intent of NBISD to have the architectural design firm include a decommissioning and demolition consultant as a part of our team?

The firms are advised to put together the best possible package in their view to accomplish the project. NBISD does not currently have a demolition consultant issued to this project, the intent would be to work with the chosen architectural firm to select the best path forward on this project.

Are you able to share who will be on the selection committee and interview committee? We'd like to know how many copies of handouts to provide.

While we do not notify who will be on the selection/interview committee, please have five copies of handouts.

How many printed copies of the RFQ do you need? I didn't see an exact number in the RFQ. 2 copies, 1 original

Evaluation Criteria #3 (pg 5): “long-range strategic planning”

Provide a list of previously designed K-12 stadium projects, with highlights to how these stadium designs fit into the long-range plan of the school site. Along with examples.

Evaluation Criteria #6 (pg 6): “safety record – firm’s policies/requirement/practices”

Provide any relevant safety policies and practices your firm follows, as well as any and all past litigation against your firm (in regards to safety).

Would you like these forms submitted separately from the rest of the information? I see it says one original and one copy so we will definitely make sure to separate those.

Two copies and 1 original. Please submit the required forms to the back of the packet.

For Section 2, 2C references resumes and qualifications as well but it seems that would be covered in 2B and 2D. Would the district like firms to provide resumes for 2B and 2D and just a breakdown of employees by discipline in a chart for the local office and firm wide for 2C?

For section 2, the expectation is to provide a clear picture of the key staff members you are planning to design this project. Along with their qualifications/resume. You may also provide an overall view of the entire firm submitting this request, but do not need to include non-key members as part of a qualification/resume package.

Can you share more specifics of the deliverables the district would like to receive? (for example, 1 original, 1 copy, 1 electronic version saved to a PDF?)

One Original, Two Copies

During the site walk on March 15th, Mr. Liggett mentioned that additional drawings of the phase II design of Long Creek HS might be uploaded to the ESBD website, to be used for reference in preparing RFQ responses. Is this still the case? If so, when will these additional drawings be uploaded?

The current plan is to upload these phase II documents.

Within section 4.0 Certifications & Representations, I have the following questions:

Do you want HUB certificates from our consultant team or just if the prime submitting company is a HUB?

Prime only

For the certificate of residency, we do have two employees who lives within NBISD boundaries, but they are not part of this project team. Do we need to include their information? Or does the "you" in the first part of that only relate to the RFQ signer?

No, only personal on your team for this project.

The 6.0 Proposal Form (page 33), is that a header we need to put on the bulk of our response?

No
