Q11: Will the County provide drawings of the existing conditions in pdf or dwg file format?

A11: This will be given to the awarded consultant in PDF format.

Q12: The sample agreement scope 2.6 references preparing separate GMP design packages for major work.

Please advise on the quantity of packages anticipated (i.e. early works site and structure, Mechanical and Electrical, etc).

A12: The County anticipates a minimum of two GMPs, i.e., Parking Structure and either Option A or B for the Headquarters facility.

Q13: Please confirm the construction budget for Option 1, on Appendix D there is a variance with the sample agreement 7.2.

A13: On Page 59 of the proposal shows the budgets for Option 1 and Option 2. This proposal is based on the total design for construction and FF&E as the designer will be required to design FF&E as well, i.e., floor plans, furniture layout, material selections, finish boards, etc. However, the construction contract with the Construction Manager at Risk will not include FF&E which is why 7.2 of sample agreement has a construction amount less than the FF&E.
