DCAA 6th Floor Renovation Warren E. Burger US Courthouse 316 Robert Street North St. Paul, MN RFI & Responses Volume II

1. The solicitation section IID Technical Proposal states on page 7 of 20 that Offerors shall complete attachment C Past Performance Reference Sheet. Attachment C does not contain a Past Performance Reference Sheet; it only contains the Questionnaire and survey, which are to be completed by the respondent, and the sample letter.

Can you please clarify if there is a specific Reference Sheet we are to complete with our Technical Proposal?

There is not a specific reference sheet you need to provide in your proposals. You may provide copies of the letter/emails sent requesting surveys be submitted on your firm’s behalf or a listing of companies sent a request to submit a survey on your firm’s behalf.

See Amendment 03.

2. I do not see a requirement in the solicitation for the Price to be packaged separately from the Technical when our proposal is submitted. Can you please confirm that Price & Technical can be in the same envelope?

Price and technical proposals may be combined into a single package and envelope.

3. The solicitation states in section II.B. Proposal Format that Offerors shall submit three

(3) hard copy proposals, however the SF1442 box 13 states original + 3 copies. Can you please clarify if you want a total of 3 or 4? I assume this is referring to the Technical proposal quantities and that the Price Proposal is one (1) copy as is typical. Please clarify.

A total of three (3) hard copies of the complete proposal are to be submitted. This includes the price proposal as well as the technical proposal documents. See Amendment 03.

4. Addendum #2 was issued, and I see the clarification of the fiber backbone, as well as WAP’s. Within the spec it states:

B. See reissued ES115 – 6th FLOOR PLAN – ELECTRICAL SPECIAL SYSTEMS for the following:

a. Added details for routing from the building demark room at Ground Level to Telecom Room.

b. Added Wireless Access Points.

c. Clarification: Owner will provide communications wiring, jacks and patch panels unless noted otherwise. Contractors are to provide rough-ins as indicated.

Is the intention of subparagraph c that all communications cabling will be done by others?

Yes, all communications wiring is by the Using Agency.

5. Do the VAV boxes have heating coils?

The VAV boxes do not having heating coils.

6. The VAV boxes as noted are specified to have hot water re-heat coils but there is no hot water supply or return piping noted for installation on the plans to the referenced coils.

Please confirm if the re-heat coils shall be electric.

The VAV boxes do not have reheat coils. The specs don’t show or need piping. The schedule does not show BTUH/gpms or any water reference.
