A. You can submit your early past performance in any of these fashions.

Q. Is the entire Volume to be submitted early, or just project-specific information contained in (a), (b), and (c) of this RFP section?

Q. Can we have the as-builts for Building 1150?

A. As-builts are included with the amendment documents.

Q. The government’s response to Q #04 included in Amendment #01 leaves enough room for different interpretations of scope of work for road construction. For example, drawing C.1 includes in demolition scope asphalt and concrete areas adjacent to Bldg 1150 (road curve and curbs around the concrete island at NW corner of the building, loading dock, 74th Street) while drawing C.6 New Pavements shows only minor new asphalt patching across 74th Street and new concrete sidewalks. Site photos show deteriorated asphalt, sidewalks and curbs at north of Bldg 1150 that are not included in the new site improvement scope. Please confirm that new asphalt and concrete work shall comply with the drawing C.6 only.

A. See revised drawings pages 1, 2, 12, and 13 for changes in the road design.
