Questions that may be of general interest to all Offerors and/or the Government and that are not readily answered by the proceeding changes will appear below. These questions may have been paraphrased or altered to represent several questions regarding the same subject and/or simply revised to clarify and simplify the question(s). Questions and answers are issued to the Offerors “for information only” and do not revise the solicitation, plans or specifications.

1. Q. On Drawing CS101, keynote 39 calls for all work associated with sidewalks, curbs, and any utilities outside the 5 feet shall be CLIN 0002. This line divides notes 17 and 14 leaving only 1 foot outside the 5-foot line.

Do you only want 1 foot of concrete to be figured in CLIN 002? This also occurs at note 6 in the middle of the buildings. This also occurs at note 14 on the south side of the building. Please clarify the splitting of work for CLIN 0002.

A. "Keynote 39 states: CLIN 0002 - ALL WORK ASSOCIATED WITH THE SIDEWALKS, CURBS, AND ANY UTILITIES OUTSIDE THE 5 FT LINE. Utility work is differentiated at the 5' line but all sidewalks, curbs, ramps should be included in CLIN 0002 inside and outside of the 5' delineation mark. This includes answers to notes 17, 14 and 6. "

2. Q. In spec section 01 45 00.00 10 part 3.4.3 CQC Personnel, it is mentioned that there are additional personnel required to assist the CQC System Manager. 6 additional people, each with a different specialty, are being added to the mandatory staff that is already listed in spec section 01 30 00 Administrative Requirements. They are also to be hired by the prime Contractor directly and not through a supplier or a subcontractor. Please advise if the 6 additional personnel are to be full time on site during the construction process. If not, please advise.

A. These personnel must be physically present at the construction site during work on the specialized personnel's areas of responsibility.

3. Q. Please confirm if the Davis Bacon wages provided in the RFP are locked in the duration of the project or do we need to factor in wage rate escalations (which may be issued through new modification numbers after the bid due date) in our bid.

A. Davis Bacon wages are updated up to time of award and then locked for the duration of the project.

4. Q. Spec section 01 30 00 part 1.12.a.(2). indicates that if the Contractor subcontracts more than 70% of the contract value, two superintendents must be provided. Please advise if the 2 assistant superintendents required per part 1.7 [ of spec section 01 30 00] can replace the requirement for the additional superintendent. If not, please advise if the 2 superintendents must be present full time at the site for the duration of the project.

A. Yes, the 2 assistant superintendents required per part 1.7 [ of spec section 01 30 00] can replace the requirement for the additional superintendent.
