The next site visit will be held on 9/19/17. The accompanying amendment will provide additional site visit information.

2 Due to the many questions received from other regarding the name registration to the government for the site visit as note to be on 8/26/16, please clarify when the next scheduled site visit will be held..

Please see response to RFI 1

3 Will Warner be able to bid this project if we missed a Mandatory meeting, I notice that there is a full set of drawings that will allow us to provide a complete and competitive bid. Also with Google Earth we will be able to see the layout of the building/land etc. If a second bid walk will be entertained, please advise.

Please see response to RFI 1

4 Ref: Spec: 2.19 (Interface the base wide fire alarm Network) Please provide information regarding the Fire panel. There is nothing to indicate what network is the Fire Panel. What Base Panel and Network is existing?

Bid as shown. See sheet FA-601 and drawing notes on ET102 and ET103. Refer to specification Section 28 31 76, paragraph 1.7 for existing supervising station control panel brand and model number.

5 Section 600 of the solicitation states that the project is restricted to Small Business, please advise if this solicitation is set aside or open completion.

This solicitation is being advertised as full & open competition

Is this job is tax exempt and will the government issue a tax exempt certificate for materials to be installed on this project?

No.

7 Can the self performance criteria relaxed from 20% to 10%? No

8 Section 3.4.1 requires SSHO, CQCM and additional personnel as per the matrix. It’s not clear if the superintendent can also act as SSHO. Also, can the matrix requirement be fulfilled by subcontractors Foremen if they satisfy the qualifications?

See Section 01 35 26 sub-paragraph 1.6.1.1.1. and Section 01 45 00.00 10 paragraph 3.4.3 "These individuals…..are directly employed by the prime contractor…."

9 Site demolition plans call for existing structures demolition, please provide architectural demo plans or as-built drawings of these buildings.

Documents identify existing buildings for total demolition. Existing plans do not exist and architectural demo plans are not relevant when nothing is remaining other than items specified for salvage.

10 On spec SECTION 06 10 12 CONSTRUCTION OF NEW BLEACHER PAVILION;

para 1.1 SCOPE REQUIREMENTS states “Provide new foundation, slab on grade, and, finish grading as designed, represented, and indicated on drawings” then it further states “design and construction shall be a performance based requirement specifically to provide a new pavilion mostly replicating the existing”. Since plans doesn’t provide information on existing pavilion to replicate nor drawings for the new pavilion; please provide existing pavilion as-builts, sketches of new pavilion as a basis for contractor design, and required dimensions of the new pavilion.

Yes, SECTION 06 10 12, paragraph 1.1 states that both design and construction shall be a performance based requirement specifically to provide a new pavilion mostly replicating the existing one. There is no requirement for an exact replication of existing pavilion canopy. Minimum design requirements for new pavilion are in the section as necessary to achieve “mostly replicating” existing pavilion. Design criteria define columns, hip roof, materials, fascia height, etc. Site design, slab on grade, foundation, piers, size of slab and finish grading is represented on Drawings. Drawings of existing pavilion are not required.

11 Is this job a re-bid? No

12 There is a discrepancy concerning the existing contours between the grading plan sheet CG101 and both the demo plan and erosion and sediment control plans labeled CD101 and GC101-103 respectively. Which of the plans should be used to determine the existing contours? In addition, if the grading plan is to be used for its existing contours, will an updated plan for GC102 be provided to show a tie in for the proposed trap 1 into the existing contours as shown on CG101, the grading plan?

There was an anomaly with the existing surface tin at the time of plotting the bid set; however, after a review, the anomaly did not show up on any of the sheets we looked at. The existing surface on all of the sheets appears to match.

13 Are there any specific specs pertaining to the Security/Access Control systems? Is there an existing Security/Access Control system being used onsite currently? If not, is there a particular manufacturer being requested for this new security/access control work? Or do they just want a system that will meet what the drawings indicate?

1. No.

2. Yes.

3. See reply to No. 2 above.

4. Bid as shown.

14 Please verify that there are to be (2) Cat6 (RG-45) data drops per furniture and classroom desk/cubical. This is common practice.
