SOW

Attachment 1 Part 12.F

Understand that we are to provide a Hazardous Material Survey in our proposal, but the RFP also states that we are to remove and dispose of hazardous material.

Please clarify if hazardous material abatement discovered from the survey or during construction will be handled as a change order.

Yes, discovered HAZMAT will be handled as a change order.

Attachment 1 Section 01 45

00.05 20 Part

1.4.5.1

Part 1.4.5.1 calls for a Fire Protection QC Specialist. Since the work of this project has nothing to do with "proper construction and installation of life safety and fire protection features" please clarify if this requirement can be eliminated from the project requirements.

Concur; as long as the fire sprinkler system is not disturbed in any way, the Fire Protection QC Specialist is not required.

5 SOW

Attachment 1

There is an expansion joint between double tee units along column line H on level 2 and 3 (see attached photo). Please clarify whether or not we are to include any work associated with these expansion joints.

This expansion joint is worn and deteriorated on the 3rd floor - roof level only. Include replacement only at this level.

6 SOW

Attachment 1

Please clarify if we are to include any floor/stair joint work in the stairwells, vestibules, elevator machine rooms and janitor rooms.

No work is to be included for these interior, enclosed spaces such as the stairwells, vestibules, elevator machine rooms, storage areas, electrical rooms, and janitor rooms.

7 N/A Please confirm contractors will be provided a staging location throughout the duration of the project.

One opportunity for a staging area that has been presented is on the first (ground) floor underneath the 1st to 2nd floor ramp. The tenant is willing to clear out approximately 1/2 of the space underneath the south ramp, which would yield about 1,500 - 2,000 sq. ft. This space is sheltered and would be available for the duration of the contract without a need for relocating or remobilization. Please confirm if this arrangement is adequate to meet staging location needs.

8 N/A Will the staging location need to be relocated, and if so, how many times will we need to remobilize this staging area to different locations?

See PPI response # 7

N/A

Please confirm the work schedule is standard working hours Monday through Wendesday, with work prohibited on Thursday due to graduation, and a 12:00 PM start on Friday.

See PPI response # 10

Standard working hours are as listed in item #13 of the RFP: Monday through Wednesday, 0600 - 1700, which is 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Friday, 1000 - 1700, which is from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Can we leave protections, equipment, and temporary weatherproofing measures in place on Thursday and the first half of Fridays, or must we demobilize these for Thursday graduations and then remobilize?

No, see PPI response #13. These measures must be demobilized and completely removed for Thursdays and the first half of Fridays.

Can you provide a phasing plan indicating how large of an area we can take over before demobilizing and turning the garage back over to ownership for Thursday graduation?

See PPI response #13. The entire garage must be restored for full parking use on Thursdays and Friday mornings.

Section 11

N4008524R26

Please confirm the anticipated duration of the project is 365 calendar days from the date of award.

Concur, and this is assuming all CLINs are executed.

Please include a proposed project duration with anticipated work schedule, whether standard days/hours or any overtime is planned.

17 What is the anticipated contract award date for the project? June 27, 2024.

Section 11

N4008524R26

The RFP states that the contractor shall begin performance within 1 calendar day after award. Given the need for submittals, preconstruction activities, and mobilization, can you provide a more realistic anticipated start date for the project that accounts for these necessary preparations?

Beginning performance may consist of preparing submittals, initiating design, etc. It is not intended that the contractor mobilize and begin physical construction the day after project award.

Can you advise on the daily mobilization process to the work site location and any additional security requirements that might affect our daily duration on-site?

Contractors must be screened through DBIDS, as is typical for work on NAVSTA Great Lakes. In addition, vehicles accessing RTC require authorization with the Visitor Center, B-6130, which typically requires proof of vehicle registration and insurance (check exact requirements with the Badge & Pass office).

Paragraph 1

SOW

Can you specifiy the structural flang-to-flange connection and anchor repair detail?

No, being design-build this is for the Designer Of Record to investigate, calculate, and prepare details.

Paragraph 1

SOW

Please provide (2) unit prices for CLIN 002 Bid Option, as it states "repairs/replacement" and the costs will differe based on these work options.

Please see revised line items.

Are the two winged expansion joints on the 2nd and 3rd levels being removed and replaced?

See response to PPI # 5.

If winged expansion joints are to be replaced, can you provide a specification for the material, as this can be expensive depending on product.

The government is not permitted to specify proprietary materials or vendors. Replacement should be like-in-kind, matching appearance and function.

Paragraph 1

SOW

Please provide a linear foot or square foot quantity per location for reinformcement repair, as it is difficult to determinee the extent of the repair required "per area."

The intent is to have a complete restoration of deteroriated rebar. It is understood the levels of repair effort will vary from area to area. Pricing shall be based upon an average level of effort. The unit of measurement remains the same. NAVFAC will evaluate and provide concurrences on areas recommended by contractor.

Please confirm that isolated concrete repairs (i.e. partial depth concrete repairs/patching) are not included in the base bid.

Concrete repairs that are adjacent, incidental, and necessary to the requested CLINs would be required, such as badly deteriorated edges next to caulk joints or flange connectors. Wholesale patching of all locations throughout the garage that show deterioration is not the intent of the project.

Can you provide specific allowances for unforeseen conditions that might arise during the project? Contingencies are not allowed for unidentified scope.

Will temporary utilities be provided on -site, or should we include the provision of these in our bid?

There are a limited number of 120V receptacle outlets in the stairwells for electrical supply. The tenant has agreed to open the janitor's closets which has access to water supply. Other utilities are not available.

What are the requirements for waste disposal, and are there any specific protocols for handling and disposing of hazardous materials?

Waste disposal is to be in accordance with Section 12 of the RFP. Hazardous materials are required to be handled and disposed of in accordance with the Specifications Section 01 57 19 Temporary Environmental Controls

29 We would like to request shop drawings. See response to PPI # 1.

Does the WABO expansion joint on Level 3 need to be replaced? See response to PPI # 5.

31 Will the parking garage be empty during construction? See response to PPI # 13, 14, and 15.

Are we required to provide any stripping after the work is complete?

Presumably this question relates to striping lines of the parking stalls, and not stripping (removal) of paint or disrobing of garments. Where lines are affected by the work, striping would be required to restore conditions.

Otherwise, complete restriping of all the parking stalls is not intended.
