RFI Question
RFI RESPONSE

Which version of REVIT do they require for as-builts?

I don’t understand the question.

Can you please comment on the section 13.3 on page 14 of the SOW – the section states that ‘The contractor shall be licensed as a General Contractor within the state of MA.’ In our case, our 49% owner has a Construction Supervisor license, but the license bears his name only and not the company’s. Is that sufficient, or do we need to make some sort of administrative change that has the company name on the license? We don’t want to be left out because of a small technicality and would like to comply with exactly what is expected of the awardee.

No, Section 13.3 of the SOW refers to Massachusetts Business Registration which is specific to the Business name that appears on the contract. Any business will have to be registered. Note that this "business registration" is different than an individual's professional certification (examples: Construction Super Lic., Architect Lic. or Professional Engineering Lic.... which are all similar to a Driver's license for an individual).

Businesses that operate within Massachusetts are required to register for one or more tax-specific identification numbers, licenses or permits, including income tax withholding, sales and use tax (seller’s permit), and unemployment insurance tax. Contact the Massachusetts Department of Revenue for more information about business registration and your tax obligations. To register a business, go to the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts webpage... the new link... https://www.mass.gov/how-to/register-your-business-with-masstaxconnect

The last page of the SOW indicates that there should be some drawings attached. I do not believe they are attached. I don’t necessarily need them, but I want to make sure that I have all the documents that I should.

No drawings, just photos.

On the questionnaire – Section A refers to ‘Manufacturer’ information – can you confirm you are looking for info on the brands of Carpet, Paint, static-mounted lettering, and wireway that are needed to complete the job? For example, the carpet shall be ‘Shaw Carpet (or approved brand name or similar) – so we would input data for Shaw in that section?

Correct, should be Shall or similar.

Page 3 of the SOW has a link to Antiterrorism training that all contractors would have to complete upon award. That link does not work. The reason I am interested in clicking on it and exploring is because I wanted to confirm it is a simple online training that would not be difficult to complete within the required timeframe. The broken link is - http://jko.jten.mil https://jkodirect.jten.mil/Atlas2/page/login/Login.jsf

Requesting clarification IRT the static mounted lettering/sign referenced in the Statement of Work.

In part “c” Overall Finished Dimensions of Letter: 113”Wx56”H” as quoted from the SOW, is the word ‘Letter’ correct? Or is that width and height delineation the overall dimensions of the entire sign?

How many lines of letters? Is it to be similar to the photo of the West Wall with the TACOM sign?

In part “d” Includes Static Mounted “United States Army Integrated Logistics Support Center”, does the word “includes” intimate that there is more wording for this sign?

How are these 6” tall letters installed on the wall? Are they first mounted on a backing board that is determined by the sign maker, or “stud mounted” directly to the GWB?

There is only one sign, in Conference Room R101, correct?

Lettering will include (2 lines):

United States Army Integrated Logistics Support Center

Overall dimensions are: 113”Wx56”H”

Contractor shall install The Great American Picture Company (brand name or similar) static mounted lettering/sign.

Only required for R101.

Recent response to RFI 18 states “no design work” required, however, Section 3 of the Period of Performance in the Statement of Work (SOW) and other documents states completion of 65% of design submittal and 100% of design submittal. How are we to interpret this?
