1. RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS SUBMITTED BY PROSPECTIVE OFFERORS:

1. Can further description be developed to clarify the bid options 0002, 0006 & 0008 as listed on the bid form.

Please advise if the following is correct. All ductwork, equipment, demolition, etc. for the renovation of the existing clinic is included in Bid Item 0002. The same work is then deducted as part of Bid item 0006.

Is piping and controls associated with the new VAV boxes to be deducted as well? Or is Bid Item 0006 to be return duct only? Bid Item 0008 reads as if the contractor is to add return duct to all areas of the existing facility that is not part of the base bid, do drawings exist for this additional ductwork?

ANSWER: The ductwork included in the renovation for Bid Item 2 is for the major renovation areas only such as having walls painted and/or new flooring. Bid Item 6 is to delete the work indicated above. This is for return ductwork only. There are no drawings for the additional ductwork.

2. It does not appear that Bid Item 0008 can be added to Line items 0001 thru 0007 to give a total base bid price. Bid Item 0008 adds return duct for supply duct that is deleted in bid item 0006. Please clarify.

ANSWER: No. See response to question 1 above.

3. Will the entire existing duct systems and existing equipment require cleaning per section 23 0000.3.7 when in most locations the contractor will be installing new taps in existing systems only. Please advise.

ANSWER: Yes, as per the specification section identified.

ANSWER: To be provided under this amendment.

8. Our proposed Commissioning Agent would be provided through one of our Subcontractors. Please confirm whether or not the Commissioning Agent would then be considered a Key Subcontractor and as such would have to complete Attachment 4, Letter of Commitment of Key Subcontractors.

ANSWER: Yes.

a. If key personnel are already employed by the prime contractor, do we still have to fill out this attachment?

ANSWER: Yes

b. If so, is it sufficient to complete one attachment for all the key personnel of the prime contractor?

ANSWER: Another site visit is scheduled, see information provide with this amendment.

12. Section 00 22 11 has seven attachments. The proposal submission requirements state where attachments 1,2,3,6 & 8 are to be used. However it does not state where attachments 4, 5 and 7 are to be used, are these attachments required for this proposal?

ANSWER: All attachments need to be completed and provide with the proposals.

13. Section 00 22 11 5.4 TAB D, states that the construction Quality Control Manager and Safety Manager may be the same person. However, specification sections 01 35 29.00 and 01 45 04 state that these individuals shall have no other duties. Please clarify.

On same sheets, there are Utilities noted as 1 through 6, what are these utilities? Same sheets, under the Utility categories there are demarcations labeled as A through D, what do these letters represent?

ANSWER: Specification Section 22 04 00.00 Plumbing, Hospital references MIL STD 1691which provides the information pertaining to the JSN Equipment and Casework Schedule.
