Response to Question 1.docx

At the site visit/pre-proposal conference held on August 26th, 2009, it was stated the documents/files on the CD issued to attendees were at 35% completion. After review of the drawings the Breck Construction/Architecture+ team consider the documents to be far more advanced than 35%, which leads to the question:

"With this being a Full and Open Request for Proposal for Design-Build of the proposed new Child Development Center at Barksdale AFB, are Contractors required to work with the Consultants who prepared the Design and Design Development Documents that were issued to attendees and available on the FBO Site, or are the electronic documents now released, without Copy Right violation, for over-writing, modifications, notes, details and development into a full set of Construction Documents on Drawing Sheets bearing the names of Architects, Engineers and Consultants, other than those on the Preliminary Documents? "

· The government furnished a 35% design to all interested parties. The requirement calls for the awardee to complete the design up to 100% either with their own A&E firm or continued use of the exisitng consultant. The documents are not copyright violated. Upon award any changes and submittals will be reviewed and will have to be accepted by the government.
