1.18 SUBCONTRACTOR’S REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION (RFI)

FFDG will utilize Autodesk’s Build construction software for processing and tracking RFIs.

FFDG will establish a project within the software for this project. The Subcontractor and sub-tier subcontractors will be required to use this system for RFIs.

Subcontractor will carefully study the Subcontract to assure that the requested information is not available therein. The Subcontractor will field coordinate all items related to an RFI response with other RFI responses, as-built conditions and all code required clearances.

FFDG’s RFI response does not absolve the Subcontractor from field coordination.

The Subcontractor will submit to FFDG a Request For Information (RFI) when the following clarification is required:

When the exact material, process or system to be installed depicted in the Subcontract is unclear.

When the items of construction are required to occupy the same space (interference).

When an item of work is described differently at two places in the Subcontract

Documents.

When other clarification is required.

RFIs from Sub-tier subcontractors will be submitted through, reviewed by and signed by the Subcontractor prior to submittal to FFDG. RFIs submitted directly by Sub-tier subcontractors will be returned unanswered to the sender and the Subcontractor.

Subcontractor will be responsible for delays resulting from the need to resubmit an RFI.

In all cases where RFIs are issued to request clarification of coordination issues the Subcontractor will furnish with the RFI all information required for FFDG to analyze and/or understand the circumstances causing the RFI to prepare a clarification or direction as to how the Subcontractor will proceed.

RFIs will not be used for the following purposes:

To request approval of submittals.

To request approval of substitutions.

To request changes which entail additional cost or credit.

To request different methods of performing work than those indicated on the drawings and/or specified.

In the event the Subcontractor believes that a clarification by FFDG results in additional cost, Subcontractor will not proceed with the work indicated by the RFI until authorized by FFDG Procurement Administrator to proceed by an approved Subcontract Modification.

FFDG will return RFIs to the Subcontractor within ten (10) calendar days of receipt. RFIs received after 12:00 noon will be considered received on the next regular work day for the purpose of establishing the start of the 10-calendar day response period.
