BIDDER INQUIRY: Spec 013329 1.6.14.1.1 states:

"Project is already registered with TPC organization to achieve LEED v4 BD+C Silver..."

However, the project does not appear to be registered with USGBC, and the Energy & Sustainability Record Card provided is for a different project.

Please clarify:

Is the project currently registered with USGBC under LEED v4 BD+C Silver?

If not, is it the GC's responsibility to register and pay associated fees?

Does the Government intend to pursue and pay for formal USGBC certification (including consultant, review fees, documentation, and plaque)?

Or is the requirement only to design and build in alignment with the Federal Guiding Principles, without formal certification?

RESPONSE:

The project is registered through the LEED Online portal (LEED V4) and the initial registration fee has been paid. It cannot be registered under Silver, though Silver is the goal.

While the project is registered and the initial registration fee has been paid, all review fees (Split review:

one design review, and one construction review) will fall to the contractor.

It is the government's intention to secure formal LEED Silver recognition and a plaque be procured and installed. Note that all design credits have been developed, documented, and uploaded. The contractor will be tasked with paying the review fee to start the design credit review process. The design team will support the contractor in the event USGBC replies with inquiries or requests for additional information regarding the design credits. The contractor will be expected to achieve all construction credits necessary to achieve LEED silver, and to document, upload, and pay all associated fees to that end.

Incorrect. The Government expects formal and recognized certification as stated above.
