Georgia Institute of Technology

Atlanta, Georgia

RFQ/RFP for Commissioning Services

Response to Request for Clarifications

Addendum No. 2

April 25, 2022

Question 1:

Page 34, Item E8 requests additional information regarding your process to ensure successful achievement of LBC v3.0 full certification, however on RFQ page 6 indicates “Living Building

Certification will not be required.” Please confirm Item E8 does not apply or clarify the request.

Answer 1: Living Building Certification will not be required. This was a carry-over from another RFP.

Question 2:

Acceptance Testing of 10% of copper and 100% of fiber – please confirm witnessing the contractor perform this testing is acceptable for validation vs self-performing this testing and comparing results with contractor testing results.

Answer 2: Confirmed that witnessing is acceptable.

Question 3:

Page 8, Section 3 indicates the Cx award will be contracted on the Phase One Tasks (3.A, 3.B., 3.C) and the Phase Two Tasks will be determined by the Owner to add as Additional Services as negotiated with the CxA. However, Exhibit E Fee Proposal does not have a separate section for the Phase One Tasks and the Phase Two Tasks. Please provide a revised Fee Proposal to indicate the breakdown line items required for each of these Phases. Will each Phase Fee table indicate a

Shell and Core section and a PPV Fit-out section? Will the last Table for Staff, Man Hours, Rate and Amount also be required to be separated for Phase One and Phase Two Tasks or a total for both Phases?

Answer 3: See Revised Exhibit E.

Question 4:

Page 4 indicates “Deliverables of Planning, Programming and Conceptual Design Study will be made available”, please provide the location to download these documents or email these to the

Finalists.

Answer 4: It’s been determined that Georgia Tech will not make these documents available due to the continued evolution of the design.

Question 5:

“Building Pressure Testing” – is it the intent for the BECx scope to include quantitative whole building air leakage testing such per ASTM E779 and/or qualitative air leakage testing such ASTM

E1186?

Answer 5: We anticipate that a whole building air leakage test approach will be incorporated into this project. Details will be determined in the design cycle with input from the

Commissioning team.

Question 6:

The original RFQ states that the deadline for the STEP II submission of CxA Team Proposals is

04/27/22 at 2pm. The Notice to Finalists states that deadline is April 28, 2022 at 2pm. Please confirm which is the correct deadline for the STEP II submission of CxA Team Proposals.

Answer 6: April 28, 2022 at 2pm.

Question 7:

Page count - 30 pages in the pre-bid, but I wanted to confirm this in writing, that the RFQ states

40 pages.

Answer 7: 40 pages.

Question 8:

Bullet E8 (Page 34): This bullet asks for our approach to supporting LBC v3.0 certification.

Assuming that LBC certification is not being considered as it is only referenced in this one location in the RFQ, but requesting your confirmation.

Answer 8: See Answer #1.

Question 9:

Interview duration: The slides you presented in the mandatory virtual call the other day indicated

65 minutes total time; however, the RFQ indicates 55 minutes interview time and the Notice to

Finalists is consistent with the 55 minutes. Just wanted to confirm that we should go with the 55 minute allotment per the two official Cx documents provided to us.

Answer 9: Total interview time is 55 minutes. Since interviews are virtual please set up prior to interview time. The agenda is 5 minutes for BOR/GT introductions, 25 minutes presentation, 20 minutes for Q &A, and 5 minutes for BOR/GT closing remarks.

Question 10:

The original RFQ states that the deadline for the STEP II submission of CxA Team Proposals is

04/27/22 at 2pm. The Notice to Finalists states that deadline is April 28, 2022 at 2pm. Please confirm which is the correct deadline for the STEP II submission of CxA Team Proposals.

Answer 10: See Answer #6.

Question 11:

The Programming and Concept design package was referenced. Is this information available for our review?

Answer 11: See Answer #4.
