19. Do you want workstation “cubicles” with walls and dividers and overhead cabinets? Or, do you just want “L” shaped desks with some kind of privacy screens and overhead cabinets?

A: The requirement for Bldg. 430 is to have cubicles with walls and dividers and must be able to be put into place with the current in place furniture. The current furniture is manufactured by Estel, if this information would be helpful. It is grey in color and constructed of metal. There is no requirement to match the furniture but a good guide would be to maintain earth tones for the color. The design for 407 does not require cubicles but does require the number of desks in the solicitation.

20. Do you want us to quote the furniture now as part of the quote?

A: The furniture will be part of the quote that is presented.

21. You want a quote for 1) design services per building; 2) furniture supply, delivery, and installation per building; 3) removal and “DRMO” of old furniture not re-used; 4) include in #1, is redesigning use of existing furniture you want to keep which will then be reconfigured when installation new furniture. Yes?

A: All of the description information is correct with the exception of removal and "DRMO". The furniture will be removed from the building and placed beneath Bldg. 407 for disposition. We would prefer to keep the furniture in tact but it is not a requirement of this purchase.

22. Can we provide furniture other than that made by Estel?

A: There is no restriction on the type of furniture that you provide. We are leaving the decisions for furniture type to the vendors.
