Yes.

Grunley 4 4. L.14.3 is titled Past Performance, but the requirements are listed to respond to an approach to schedule management not past performance. Please clarify if the title needs to be changed or if the content should be related to past performance?

Your response should show your firm's track record of managing project schedules.

We do apologize for the confusion.

Grunley 5 With regard to the Key Personnel and Subcontractors section (L.14.2) of the RFP, please specify the positions for which resumes should be provided by the subcontractors (i.e., Project Manager, Foreman)?

The key personnel resumes for subcontractors should at a minimum include representatives from key trades as you deem necessary for successful completion of the project.

Grunley 6 For the References section (L.14.4) of the RFP, it indicates the inclusion of "three references/former clients. Include relevant project information . . . " Can you please clarify what project information needs to be included?

The reference information should include anything from the past project that you think is relevant to our selection process.

Grunley 7 The RFP indicates the provisions of Sections G, H, and K, but these sections are not specified in the documents. Can you please indicate or provide these sections?

Please accept our apologies for the confusion. The Sections in Exhibit A are as follows: Section G is Contract Administration; Section H is Special Contract

Requirements; and Section K is Representations & Warranties.

Grunley 8 The deadline for technical clarifications is stated in Section L.13.8 as June 3, 2016.

What does this mean?

Generally, all questions relating to the bid should be sent well in advance of the bid date to allow us reasonable time to respond. However, any significant technical concern identified during your review should be sent as soon as feasible.

Grunley 9 Please provide the HazMat report for this project. A HazMat report specific to this project was not prepared. Please follow the specifications for hazardous materials protocols. Areas with suspected lead based paint or ACM include: steel dunnage supporting cooling towers, original waterproofing under monumental stair ramps, pipe insulation, and the steel support structure at the Infinity Sculpture.
