With the current plans, it is unclear exactly what is included in the demolition scope outside of the building footprint. Should demolition contractors assume demolition of the structure and all improvements within five (5) feet of the building, or is removal of additional pavement, sidewalks, curb and gutter, utilities, or other site improvements required?

Do the mechanical/power brick enclosures associated with each structure (housing HVAC equipment, electrical equipment, and other mechanical systems) fall within the demolition scope, or are they to remain in place?

115 General

The RFP establishes a Pre-Proposal

Inquiry (PPI) submission deadline of

June 23, 2026, and a proposal due date of July 7, 2026. Given the number and scope of outstanding PPIs— particularly those affecting site conditions, utilities, and environmental requirements—the time between the PPI deadline and proposal due date is not sufficient to allow for:

1. Review and incorporation of

Government PPI responses, 2.

Coordination with subcontractors and suppliers, 3. Development and validation of pricing, and 4.

Completion of internal proposal reviews. As currently scheduled, Offerors may be required to carry additional assumptions and contingencies due to unresolved scope elements. Request the Government consider extending the proposal due date by 4 weeks to allow adequate time for evaluation of PPI responses and development of a complete and coordinated proposal. This will support more accurate and competitive pricing aligned with the Government’s intent.

Subject: Clarification of Scope

Allocation Between Base CLIN and

The RFP indicates that contaminated soil handling and dewatering effluent management are included within the base scope (CLIN 0001). However, these same elements are also identified as separate Option CLINs

(0003–0007).

This creates ambiguity regarding the intended allocation of scope between the base bid and option pricing.

Please clarify the following:

1. Confirm whether CLIN 0001 is intended to include all contaminated soil handling and dewatering effluent management required for the project, or only a baseline level consistent with anticipated site conditions. Currently these items are called out as options please advise as your intentions are unclear.

2. Confirm whether Option CLINs

0003–0007 represent additional scope beyond the base condition (e.g., higher contamination levels, additional quantities, offsite disposal, treatment requirements, or unforeseen conditions).

3. Define the limits of responsibility for each Option CLIN to clearly distinguish what work is included in the base bid versus option pricing.

1, G40

This section mentions that generally manholes aren't permitted for medium-voltage extensions and that above-ground tap-boxes are preferred for radial feeds. The RFP also states to maintain loop-feed capability through all new transformers. Being able to pull multiple sets of MV conductors through shared manholes to allow for loop-feed topologies is much simpler and requires significantly fewer structures than installing tap-boxes at all UFC 3-550-01 driven locations.

Can manholes be utilized for this project in addition to tap-boxes?

Attachme

1, G40

Its mentioned that underground medium-voltage splices are not permitted, however to remove the existing BEQ transformers and re-establish the loop connection with the

A3/A4 MV feeder, underground splicing in the manholes around the campus is the much more cost-effective approach rather than pulling new MV cables from the next upstream and downstream transformers/switches on a given segment of the MV loop.
