Taking into account the measurements that need to be made for 35% of the concept design, Are SEED PROJECT sheets available in editable format?

We normally do not provide editable drawings to bidders before the project is awarded. Exceptionally, as we are asking for a 35% design, we attach the AutoCAD drawing of the buillding itself

T

Taking into account the requirements in the elaboration and development of 35% of the concept design, we request a postponement of the delivery date, in order to be able to make these documents in a convenient way to both the USG and DOR.

The Government will extend the due date until 9 June 2021, 1530 local time..

T L.5.3.1.1.b

It is requesting "calculations". Which are these calculations to include in the drawings?, and if they should not be included in drawings and yes in the narrative, are they limited in page number by Table 1.2 Vol. II?

Provide a summary of any calculations and a narrative description of methodology utilized. Yes 35 Pages remains.

T L.5.3.1.1.b

L.5.3.1.1. b) requires the minimum components of the concept drawings.

It is required "construction phasing". Is going to be the building in use during the construction?

As stated in SOW, "The construction phase shall consider the phasing plan required to perform works with minimum interferences to Base operations and security, including a Construction Phasing Plan"

T SOW 2.3.9

SOW 2.3.9. states "Provide installations necessary for the building operation as a theater/cinema or Meeting Hall to include, but not limited to, public addressing system, sound system, stage lighting system, video projection, etc." This is a very open item,. Can you be more specific? Type of sound system? How many functions of stage lighting? Are the stage curtains included? The stage curtains motorization are included? Which type of control system?

See response to previous question on this same topic. Stage curtains motorization is included, as part of the interior electrical distribution renovation under SOW Part

Paragraph 2.3.9

(Page 11 of 86)

Attachment 3 Seed Project SOW, WORK DESCRIPTION paragraph 2.3.9 requires provision of several installations necessary for the building operation to include, but not limited to, public addressing system, sound system, stage lighting system, video projection, etc.

We request a more specific list of installations that have to be provided, which are necessary for the building operation (i.e. stage lighting, etc.). There may be more installations necessary for the building operation, and which are not mentioned. We believe that all required installations required to be part of the building operation should be anticipated in the RFP for a proper quotation.

Minimum installations to be considered for this design/build project include:

- Public addressing system.

- Video projection system.

- Digital movie player.

- Movie screen system.

- Movie sound system.

- Stage lighting system.

- Music/Voice sound equipment.

Project must include consideration for space, thermal & electrical load requirements for all the systems above, including pre-installation for such. Actual equipment purchase and installation of such equipment is not part of this project, but installation after this project completion must be made feasible with the project design/construction. For instance, the installaton of distributed loudspeakers for
