RFP No. GKO21120

Addendum No. 3

September 17, 2020

1. (No Update on Item #1) The bid due date has been extended to Monday, 28 September 2020, at 12:00 PM.

2. Questions raised (with answers) are as follows:

A. RFP notes pages 22 of 23, but no page 23 is in the documents we received? ANSWER: The CM-GC RFP incorrectly notes a total of 23 pages and there are only 22 pages in total.

B. Will B48 be occupied at the time of the seismic upgrade work? ANSWER: The second floor of B48 will not be occupied.

C. Timeline of events in RFP don’t seem to align with the schedule. NTP Phase 1 CM Services Dec ’20-Jan ’21 (schedule shows CM/GC Award 3/11/21 with NTP is early Q3 ’21), Completion of Phase 1 Cm Services Sept ’21 (schedule shows 11/11/21 – SSMPCX1140?). ANSWER: LBNL will select the CM-GC in December '20, but due to the requirement to obtain DOE approval, the subcontract cannot be issued to the CM-GC until March 2021. Schedule activity SSMPCX1140 is for the CM-GC submittal of trade bids to LBNL.

D. Does the CM/GC have any scope related to the “Demo Process for Salvage” work – schedule page 6 of 21? ANSWER: No.

E. Since these are Lump Sum prices, please clarify what records will be required with the monthly invoices as the contract item Article 3 item D.2 (page 6 of 39) appears that the University wants fully substantiated billings (copy of invoices, time cards, etc.)? ANSWER: The subcontract notes billing documents are to be available for LBNL review upon request. However, viewing of backup documents is not a requirement each month, and would only occur when there is an unknown irregularity in the billing.

F. CM-GC Scope – item 1.2.2., generally what are the “other services to assure a well-planned…..”? ANSWER: Review of the LBNL commissioning agent developed Functional Performance Tests that are to be incorporated into the construction design documents.

G. CM-GC Scope – item 1.12.1 notes minimum staffing requirements which seems to be for the construction phase. Is there a minimum staffing requirement for the Preconstruction phase? ANSWER: No. Preconstruction staffing as needed to satisfactorily perform preconstruction work.

H. How should the shared services/costs be split amongst the projects? For example, overall Project Executive Responsible for all the projects….how do you want to allocate those costs between SSM, THUP and Demo; Assuming one master schedule, hence the costs associated with developing and maintaining a cost loaded schedule for the SSM, THUP & Demo projects; jobsite offices, etc. ANSWER: The CM-GC needs to allocate the respective cost to each project. There needs to be a separate schedule for the SSM and THUP

I. Other than the info in the Preliminary SSM-THUP Summary Scheduled darted 8/21/20, we can’t seem to find any other schedule information regarding the THUP project in the Full Schedule, Critical Path Schedule or RFP documents?

ANSWER: The only schedule available for the THUP is the Summary schedule as contained in Addendum #1 (and included again in this Addendum #3).
