RFI Questions & Answers Demolition Services At JBSA LAK/ LAK Chapman Annex

1. Buildings 2988 & 2989: Is CPS going to take down the feed from the transformer pole to the service pole? Would CPS or the winning contractor be responsible to take the riser off the pole that feeds the buildings? CPS will disconnect only and will remove transformers on another date; riser removal is Contractor’s responsibility

2. Building 5584: The feed comes to the building underground. Contractors need to know where it feeds from and how far away it is from the building? Will CPS disconnect this feed or do contractors need to include pricing to pull it out? CPS disconnect wires/cables from transformer service risers and/or entrances are Contractor’s responsibility; however, for this facility CPS reports no existing service; service has been previously disconnected

3. Building 7561: The feed comes from underground we need to know where it is fed from and how far away it is from the building and is cps going to disconnect it or do we need to disconnect it and pull the wire out? This facility is permanently disconnected from a removed service transformer

4. Buildings 7362 & 148 Will CPS disconnect the overhead power from the transformer pole and remove the wire to the buildings? Building 148 has 2 feeds going to it. CPS will disconnect only and will remove transformers on another date; riser removal is Contractor’s responsibility

6. GCs must submit all material on Technical Factors 1, 2 and 3. Please confirm the 502nd is truly requesting a full project specific deliverable with each proposal submission or if examples of previously approved plans would be accepted.

802 CES is open to accept “examples” of previously approved plans as long submissions are in compliance with applicable current codes and standards (i.e. JBSA Environmental Protection Standard 1 57 20)

7. What is the scale that price will be compared to technical subfactor when comparing proposals?

802 CES is not able to answer this question

12. With Lackland being a NESHAP’s facility and the extensive preparation and then submittal of paperwork to submit to the state for approval to work, the POP for these projects being 20 -75 days from the award date might not be possible to even start within that timeframe. Has that been considered?

Recalculated the total PoP to 325 days; this is in consideration of the Utilities Permanent Disconnect Application Processes which have been experiencing increased delays & costs. I suggest that the Awarded Contractor start Demo Project by contacting Utility Service Providers to apply for Permanent Service Disconnect so the Private Service Provider begin their own processes to permanently disconnect each demo facility. The PoP change will be reflected on the PWS as a total; is up to the Contractor to distribute demo time for each facility.

13. While reviewing the solicitation package, we had a question regarding the hazardous material reports. We wanted to inquire whether any updated or revised hazardous material reports are available, as the reports currently included may not reflect all of the information necessary for preparing accurate pricing.

Additionally, we would appreciate clarification regarding the site visit. We understand there may have been a site visit that was not reflected in the solicitation documents. If any additional information, documentation were provided as a result of that site visit, we would appreciate it if they could be shared.

Currently, there are no further hazmat reports to provide. Yes there was a Site visit initially scheduled for 16 June per the solicitation and rescheduled to 23 June per the amendment to the solicitation, which both were posted on SAM.gov under Notice IDs FA301626R0033 & FA301626R00330002. There are no site visit documents to provide.

Please, review revised PWS, structures square footage and heights are included on the PWS, specifically on Facility Data Attachments (last pages of PWS)

15. Will we be allowed to demo more than one building at a time?

The PWS does not limit number of facilities to be demolished within a specific period of time; facilities demolition schedule should be compatible with Contractor’s existing business and manpower capabilities

16. Is there a designated dump site or can we select where to haul debris?

IAW JBSA Environmental Protection Specification 1 57 20, all excess soil/waste materials shall be properly manifested/transported to an TCEQ-permitted landfill (Covel Gardens or Tessman Rd Landfill are locally available) and approved by 802 CES/CEIE. (a Copy of JBSA Environmental Protection Spec 1 57 20 is included w/ PWS)

Although 802 CES is conducting maps updates and upgrades efforts, the resulting imagery is not available for Contractor use yet

The Project Contract Officer is the only one authorized to approved/disapprove work schedules

19. Will all utilities be disconnected from the buildings prior to demolition?

No, although some facilities have been abandoned and some of their utilities have been previously disconnected is the awarded Contractor responsibility to contact each Utility Service Provider to coordinate and apply for each facility permanent utility service disconnect as soon as possible after Contract Award (PWS Rev 3 July Para 1,page1)

20. Are there any hazardous materials associated with the buildings?

Yes, a HazMat Reports for each facility under this Project has been issued to 502 CONS and will accompany the PWS & QASP

21. It appears to be discrepancies in the square footage listed in the PWS. Could you please confirm the correct square footage for the following structures:

· B2988: In Section 2.2.1, CLIN 0001, the structure is listed as 2,256 SF. However, based on the dimensions provided in the Facility MPLS specifications (70'L x 50'W), the calculated square footage is 3,500 SF.

· B2989: In section 2.2.2 CLIN 0002, the structure is listed as 198 SF. However, based on the dimensions provided in the Facility MPLS specifications (40'L x 30'W), the calculated square footage is 1,200 SF.

· B4395: In Section 2.2.3, CLIN 0003, the structure is listed as 210 SF. However, based on the dimensions provided in the Facility MPLS specifications (21'L x 16'W), the calculated square footage is 336 SF.

· B5584: In Section 2.2.3, CLIN 0004, the structure is listed as 7,645 SF. However, based on the dimensions provided in the Facility MPLS specifications (302'L x 153'W), the calculated square footage is 42,206 SF.

· B140: In Section 2.2.5, CLIN 0007, the structure is listed as 14,618 SF. However, based on the dimensions provided in the Facility MPLS specifications (178'L x 154'W), the calculated square footage is 27,412 SF.

The measurements come from the Facility Data Sheet for each facility (measurements have been also confirmed by PM); however, square footage represents mission capable space. I suggest utilizing “L X W” measurements along with height measurements to calculate true structure size, all measurements are included on the Facility Data Sheets, provided as PWS Attachments 1-7

22. Are you requiring a post-land survey for each structure to be provided by a licensed professional land surveyor?

Yes, as stated on PWS 3 July 20206, Para. 1

23. Number 20 in the PWS states:

"Prior to soil removal, the contractor shall perform the following test methods and analytical parameters for every 200 CY of soil that is to be removed from JBSA."

Based on our review, there does not appear to be more than 200 CY of soil to be removed collectively from the site. Will TCLP testing still be required, or can this requirement be omitted?

Revised PWS 1July 2026 (now Para. 19 ) states that the Contractor shall test all soil to be remove from JBSA LAK (this shall be in accordance with Environmental Protection Standard 1 57 20)

24. Number 19 in the PWS states:

"The Contractor shall erect a suitable perimeter fence around the work site."

Would a 4-foot safety fence be considered acceptable, or would caution tape suffice?

PWS revised to specify temporary fencing as (PWS 3 July 2026, Para 18): Contractor shall erect a suitable perimeter 6ft fence screened with brown fabric around the work site.
