SUMMARY OF CHANGES

The following have been modified:

Section 00 21 16 – Instructions to Proposers –

Delete paragraph 2.1.1 - The Offeror shall submit information on a minimum of two (2) but no more than three (3) completed projects. Each project submitted does not need to demonstrate all functional categories (structural, mechanical, and electrical work) for each individual project. Rather, to meet this factor, an offeror must submit a proposal that collectively demonstrates the offeror’s experience within all three discrete categories of work: structural, mechanical and electrical. If the Offeror’s submission exceeds the maximum project limitation of three completed projects, then the additional project(s) will not be evaluated. These projects must be of relevant scope and complexity and demonstrate a minimum completion value of $2,000,000. The Offer will demonstrate experience by the successful and contractual completion of applicable projects under this factor.

And replace with:

2.1.1. The Offeror shall submit information on a minimum of two (2) but no more than five (5) completed projects. Each project submitted does not need to demonstrate all functional categories (structural, mechanical, and electrical work) for each individual project. Rather, to meet this factor, an offeror must submit a proposal that collectively demonstrates the offeror’s experience within all three discrete categories of work: structural, mechanical and electrical.

7944491 Contracting 00 21 16 - Instructions to Proposers

Comment Classification: Unclassified\\For Official Use Only (U\\FOUO)

In the Instructions to Proposers specifications Factor 1 - Experience in Relevant Projects requires the submission of a minimum of two projects but no more than three completed projects. Can the quantity of submitted projects for this factor be increased? The reason, the proposer or Team must have Elements 1 through 5 and at least 6 of 9 total elements. However, three of these elements, are specialized trades. Specifically the diving, electrical, and the painting work (especially since there are SSPC QP-1 & QP-3 requirements in the specs). Those specialized trades alone consume every possible project submission without the possible General Contractor submitting their, mechanical, building, and steel experience on their own.

A team will need to submit at least one project from their subs to gain the required experience on the electrical, diving, and painting elements with a teaming commitment letter. In order to meet the required experience elements, additional projects are needed so the remaining elements can be addressed for a Team's experience.

On: Apr 18 2019.

1. Demolition Drawings ED-102,109-118 Notes say to remove all water from existing un-used embedded conduit, grout entire length and seal on both ends. Is there a conduit schedule for existing embedded conduits with size and location?

2. The new multi-purpose storage has electric overhead doors, sheet SB001. Plans do not show any electric service to the new building. Please advise..

On: May 03 2019.

Government Response. . 1. Note on drawings ED-102,109-118 will be changed/ammended to read as follows: "...remove all water from existing un-used embedded conduit and seal on both ends." Conduits will NOT need to be grouted for the entire length but they will need to have the water removed and the ends sealed. An existing embedded conduit schedule will not be provided. Contractor should estimate costs based on removed equipment as shown on plan drawings.

2. No electric service will be provided at the new multi-purpose storage building. The electric overhead doors will be operated via a portable generator from site personnel. On: May 08 2019
