RESPONSES TO PROSPECTIVE VENDORS’ QUESTIONS

Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum – Carnegie mansion Renovation

Solicitation No. F10SOL10032

1. Drawing S-104 appears to be missing from the drawing set. It is indicated on the Title Sheet (G-001), but S-104a appears in duplicate rather than S-104. Kindly provide.

ANSWER: SEE ATTACHED

2. Specification section 096724 – 1.2.A, calls for “…the installation of resinous flooring at concrete slab and curbs under mechanical equipment in Attic and at any other locations shown…” The finish schedule (A-621) does not refer to resinous flooring. And drawing A-117 shows this at Room 503. Please clarify the locations of the resinous flooring.

ANSWER: The resinous flooring is only required under unit AC-4M which is in the Attic. The Attic and Room 503 are the same space.

3. Specification sections 028200 – 1.2.A and 028300 – 1.2.1.2.2 refer to a “Hazardous

Materials Report (Limited Hazardous Materials Evaluation – Asbestos and Lead Paint by Jenkins Environmental, May 2008) submitted under separate cover.”

Kindly provide this report. Additionally, sections 028200 – 1.2.D and 028300 –

1.2.1.2.2 refer to the contractor making a site visit to make its own determination about quantity values. Will the site be available during the bidding period for this to be accomplished or shall the bid proposals be based upon the quantities given in the documents?

ANSWER: The report will not be provided at this stage. Site visits have been scheduled. If a vendor was unable to attend a site visit, a request can be made for additional visits; however, given scheduling all requests may not be honored.

4. We respectfully request an extension to the RFI deadline of July 1, 2011; noted at the pre-bid walk-thru on June 20, 2011 to allow all bidders ample time to thoroughly review the bid documents.

ANSWER: The deadline will not be extended. Vendors may submit questions after July 1, 2011; however, questions submitted after July 1, 2011 may not produce an answer.

5. Specification section 010000 – 3.1.3. refers to reimbursing the Smithsonian Institution in the event security and inspection services are required to be completed outside the specified working hours, in certain instances. Please provide the rates at which the GC will be charged for these services in the event they are required.

ANSWER: $31.00 per Hour.

6. We request an additional site walk-through, preferably July 12th or 13th.

ANSWER: An additional site walk-through was provided on July 1, 2011.

Another site walk-through is not planned.

7. Please provide contact information for the security vendor.

ANSWER: There is no security vendor. The security system is maintained by Smithsonian Staff. Refer to Division 28 for all security requirements.

8. Kindly clarify the tax status for this project. Is it tax exempt? Fully taxable?

ANSWER: This project may be exempt from sales and use tax; however the successful vendor shall bear all responsibility in obtaining the necessary waivers from the appropriate taxing authority. Smithsonian makes no statement or guarantee that tax exempt status will be obtained.

9. Page 88 of the RFP (L.16.3) indicates the submission of a detailed Schedule of Values. Is this requirement in addition of the breakdown proposed in Exhibit ‘J’ or does Exhibit ‘J’ satisfy section L.16.3?

ANSWER: Exhibit J.3 as amended satisfies the request in section 16.3 for a detailed breakdown of pricing.

10. Please provide information regarding dimensions per the attached detail G-007E

ANSWER: Temporary protection needs to be developed by Contractor. Detail is for indicating a feasible solution, plywood thickness is indicated, spacing of posts needs to be developed in response to field conditions and the General Contractor’s means and methods.
