RE: FA4417-14-R-0041; Repair Energy Monitoring Systems

RFI #1 – Please address the following questions or requests for clarification:

QUESTION 1. Spec Section 01 10 00-Summary of Work---Paragraph 1.05 of this spec section addresses the location of a storage area and fencing surrounding such as shown on the drawings. There is not an area shown for this. Since the project is spread over a verge portion of Hurlburt, will this be necessary?

RESPONSE 1. A laydown/storage area may not be required for this project, but if the contractor requests a location for storage, superintendent trailer, Portoilets, the requirements of the specifications section 01 10 00 will apply. The location of the laydown/storage area will be determined at the Pre-Construction conference after award.

QUESTION 2. There is no mention of chemical toilets---are we to assume that the facilities within the respective buildings can be used. If not, there will be considerable expense in located in a central location for the workmen’s use. The use of the existing facilities should be minimal as there will not be an abundance of workers.

RESPONSE 2. While working in the various bldgs the contractor may use the existing facility restrooms. If the contractor has a laydown/storage area, they may want a portoilet at that location as well.

QUESTION 3. Is there a requirement that the base bid be completed within a certain number of days, and each option; or does the entire project have the allotted time and the individual bid items are not to be completed with a certain number of days?

RESPONSE 3. Please review the solicitation, clause 52.211-10 Commencement, Prosecution, Completion of Work, which provides specific period of performance for the base bid and any options.
