d. Is there a concrete base at the FOWA shelter? Sheet L1.0 W shows concrete slab under the carport.

e. Will major renovation projects with similar complexity, size, and scope be considered as valid experience, as opposed to new construction? If unable to provide experience for new construction projects, providing renovation experience may be taken into consideration.

However, per Technical Evaluation Factor 1: Experience, “The number of similar project experience may be considered more favorably. Similar experience performed by prime contractor may be considered more favorably. Similar experience working with the major subcontractor may be considered more favorably.”
