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".

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?

Gov’t Responses:

1. Please refer to SOW section 1.1.
