RFIs FA442725R0013 – B380 Repair Pest Damage L/H/S

New changes will be included and referenced in the SOW dated 15 April 2025.

1. Is a Change Order anticipated and are funds available to expedite an award? Or should our bid include anticipation of trapping and eradication of pests so there is no delay on beginning demolition?

2. How many points of entry have been previously detected and sealed?

3. There are many more than 22 air supply diffusers and 22 return air diffusers. Who determines which drops are demolished and replaced? Have the damaged locations been identified? Will Contractor receive a building drawing with these locations called out?

4. Per RFP 01 35 2, 1.7.1.2: "The Contractor Quality Control Manager cannot be the SSHO on this project". Per RFP 01 00 00, 1.22: "The contractor shall provide a full-time construction superintendent IAW FAR 52.236-6 Superintendence by the Contractor at all times during the period of construction". Is it acceptable to provide a one position triple hat that serves as Quality Control Manager/SSHO/Superintendent?

5. Per the RFP "If contractor requires occupants to vacate the building while construction is being completed, contractor will need to provide temporary office spaces for 5 occupants as well as on site temporary storage for CDC’s learning library which is equivalent to 900 square feet", during the 03/31/25 site walk, it was noted from discussions with staff members that approximately 8 people occupy the building—7 during the day and 1 at night. Can you please confirm whether the requirement for temporary office space for 5 occupants is accurate, or if it will be updated?

6. Per the RFP "If contractor requires occupants to vacate the building while construction is being completed, contractor will need to provide ....on site temporary storage for CDC’s learning library which is equivalent to 900 square feet", based on the 03/31/25 site walk, would it be acceptable to keep the CDC library items within the building—relocating them as needed during phased construction and demolition—in order to avoid using off-site storage?

7. Trailer Requirements for Relocation of staff members:

a. Are there any specific specifications or standards required for the type of temporary trailer to be provided for staff use?

b. Is there a minimum square footage requirement for the staff relocation trailer?

c. Would a construction trailer equipped with two separate restrooms

(male/female) be considered acceptable?

d. Is the use of a Starlink satellite connection acceptable for providing internet access to support computer and desk operations within the staff relocation trailer?

8. Per the RFP 60 CES Requirements, section D30 HVAC states: "HVAC System Renovation – For any renovation of existing HVAC systems the HVAC design shall include design values for all equipment including existing equipment. If the system will connect to existing ductwork serving other areas of the facility the airflow requirements at all terminals units shall be provided in the design drawings to ensure that a proper TAB can be performed on the system. All equipment, ductwork, etc. connected to new or modified equipment as well as any distribution systems that serve the same areas as new or modified equipment will be part of the project scope." Contractor is not modifying any ductwork at all, per the scope of work, only flexible ducting back to existing duct is required.

a. Is a mechanical design with design values required?

b. Is Testing and Balancing and Commissioning going to be required?

Gov’t Responses:
