SOLICITATION GS-08P-16-JB-C-7031 QUESTIONS

September 27, 2016

1) Currently the GSA is asking for each Offeror reference to complete the Attachment 4 and send directly to the Government. We are requesting that the GSA reconsiders and allows the Offeror to use Past Performance Questionnaires that we already have on file and that the PPQs can be submitted in the books versus being sent directly to the Government.

Questionaires must be submitted in order for an offer to be considered responsive. You may reference a CPARS evaluation on the forms or provide a copy if you choose to do so.

2) The Phasing Schedule references areas labeled Blocks "B" thru "I", but these areas don't seem to be identified elsewhere in the documents. Can a drawing and/or narrative be provided that identifies the limits of these Blocks?

The “blocks” referred to in the Phasing Schedule generically correspond with the mechanical zones in the building. Referencing mechanical sheet, M101.1, the following schedule applies:

Block B = RHU-2402 Block C = AHU 1201 Block D =RHU-1301 Block E = RHU-1303 Block F = RHU-1302 Block G = RHU-1304 Block H = RHU-1305 Block I = AHU-1101 Block J = Level 2

Specific rooms associated with each phase are identified below:

7) General Note #3 states "Contractor will deconstruct and salvage valuable building components (e.g. windows and sills, facades, doors)". Please provide a specific list of items required to be salvaged and turned over to the Owner.

EPA has requested that the contractor salvage all items, which should all go to EPA (Karon Johncox and Tim Essman). EPA will then determine the disposition of each item and work with GSA wherever possible for the items to be repurposed or excessed.

The O&M has requested that the controls for the hoods that are being replaced and any VAV boxes for air supply that are not being used in the renovation be salvaged and returned to the O&M.
