Amendment 1

1. Question: 1) Are existing As-Built drawings available for building B401?

Answer: Yes

2. Question: 2) Has an existing LBP or ACM report been performed on B401? If so, is it available for distribution?

a. Should we assume the seed project does not include the abatement of LBP or ACM?

b. Should we assume the need for LBP or ACM testing?

Answer: All ACM was removed from this facility and none of our records shows LBP.

3. . Question: 3) We anticipate using the same sub panels for the washer/dryers. The existing breakers will remain. Please confirm.

Answer: Yes

4. Question: 4) We anticipate using new receptacles/shut offs for the washers/dryers. We will not reuse the demolished outlets. Please confirm.

Answer: Use new receptacles.

5. Question: 5) Tree Removal: Please indicate whether the SOW includes cutting tree to be level with existing elevation, stump grinding below existing grade, or complete root ball removal.

Answer: Trees need to be trimmed back from the building so not to impede on the roof.

6. Question: 6) Sewer: Please indicate the size of the sewer line to be replaced.

a. Is it known whether there are any other connections to this sewer line?

b. Is it known how many cleanouts will be required in the new line?

c. Please clarify the path, location and approximate depth of the sewer line to be replaced from the cleanout at the front of the building to the manhole to the east of the building.

Answer: a. No other connections other than the building. b. One at the building. c. See attached drawings.

7. Question: 7) Performance: Please confirm whether the performance period includes the design time.

a.Please note that if As-Builts are not available, and the design is intended to be within the project 120 calendar days, this project may not be possible. Creating new drawings of an existing building is tedious and time consuming.

Answer: Design time is part of the propsal time and would not count against the 120 as that needs to be complete before the task order is signed. With SABER the days to complete the project are negociable item as well. For this seed project we are not looking for a finalized project. Once a technically acceptable contactor is selected for award, the task order will be negotiated to arrive at an agreed amount, scope and performance period.

8. Question: 8) City Cost Index: SF1442, page 4 of 55, Section B, paragraph C. Indicates to use the ‘current City Cost Index for Dobbins Air Reserve Base’. JA-15, 5.e. indicates to use Atlanta City Cost Index. Please confirm the Dobbins ARB CCI is Atlanta, GA.

Answer: Atlanta CCI is to be used as there is no specific CCI for Dobbins ARB.

9. Question: 9) JA-1: Page 4 of 18, 3) Technical Design Support. This paragraph indicates that the contractor’s staff must include civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering; and drafting/surveying capabilities. The size of this contract is unable to support a staff with these engineering requirements. Please confirm the intent is that we have access to these engineering capabilities and that the contractor does not need to maintain these engineering disciplines on staff.

Answer: The intent is for the Contractor to have access and not required to maintain on site.

10. Question: 10) JA-1: Page 4 & 5 of 18, 3) d. “The following documents shall be submitted no later than 10 calendar (days) after completion of negotiations.” Please confirm that the intent of this sentence is for documents

(1) – (9) to be submitted within 10 calendar days after task order award, not negotiation.

a. Please note, without a contract award, we will not be able to obtain many of the items listed.

Please note EM385-1-1 requires the SSHO to be a separate individual. How many separate individuals are required to monitor each task order?

Answer: Yes this is acceptable; however, anytime work is ongoing, you must have someone possessing those credentials onsite (onsite meaning Dobbins ARB).
