BIDDER RFI 2024
| MIARNG Readiness Center - BIDDER RFI LOG 2024 | |||||
| # | DATE | RFI DETAIL | Primary Discipline | Response | Response Date |
| 001 | 1/9/24 | The solicitation states that the price shall be good for 60 days, while the Site Visit slides state 90 days. Please clarify. |
| MIARNG | This is for 90 days. It will be updated in the ammendment | 1/12/24 | |||
| 002 | 1/9/24 | Please advise what the time frame is for award of the option(s) and any resulting project schedule extensions if they are not all awarded at the same time | MIARNG | The bid opening will be extended via amendment to 31 Jan 1230pm est | 1/12/24 |
| 003 | 1/9/24 | Spec 01 35 26 (para. 1.6.1.1.1) states that the SSHO may also serve as the QC Manager duties but may not serve as the Superintendent. However, Spec 01 45 00.00 10 (para. 3.4.2) states that the QC Manager is assigned as the CQC Manager but has duties as project superintendent in addition to quality control. In addition, Spec 01 00 00 (para. 1.38.1, Key Personnel Description, states: “An individual Key Team Member may not hold more than one key role.” This is followed by the minimum qualifications for Project Manager, Site Superintendent, Quality Control Manager, and Safety Manager. Please clarify the project requirements for the QC Manager, SSHO and Superintendent). | MIARNG | It appears that the note in section 01 00 00 – “An individual Key Team Member may not hold more than one key role” contradicts language in spec 01 35 26. |
Atkins understanding is that per 01 35 26 – The Quality Control Manager and Site Safety and Health Office can be the same person, but there needs to be a separate Project Superintendent.
Section 01 45 00.00 10 does not specifically mention “Quality Control Manager”, it states that the Contractor Quality Control manager also has superintendent duties. Meaning observation and inspection of site work, production of reports and is on site at all times during construction. Atkins understanding is that there is no difference between a Quality Control Manager and a Contractor Quality Control Manager.
| Final response and decision to be confirmed by MIARNG. | 1/12/24 | |||||
| 004 | 1/9/24 | Drawing CS503 shows chain link fence details but no chain link fence is found on the drawings. Please advise. | CIVIL | Please refer to sheet OLI705 & OLI706. Optional line item drawings for the project are located at the back of the drawing set starting from OLI700 - OLI786. | 1/12/24 | |

| 006 | 1/9/24 | Please consider allowing submittal of the Bid via email. Typically, trades do not provide their bids until late in the process, making it difficult to copy, bind, and deliver the Bid documents. | MIARNG | This is will not be an option | ||
| 007 | 1/10/24 | DMI Metals - I recently viewed the Readiness Center project in Grayling, MI and am interested in quoting the standing seam roof. Your name was listed as a contact, and I was wondering if Substitution Requests are acceptable. | MIARNG | Per FAR requirements, the specs do not name specific manufacturers or products. The specs include salient characteristics of products and materials. If a specific product meets the listed characteristics, then a it can be evaluated during the submittal process. | ||
| 008 | 1/12/24 | Should coatings on concrete be polyurea on the interior and bituminous coating on the exterior? These are preferred practices in many communities in Michigan due to constant expansion-contraction of concrete tanks susceptible to toxins including phosphates, sulfuric acids, cleaning agents, and petroleum products. Epoxy coatings have been defined as too hard-brittle to survive in extreme temperature conditions. Cracking can occur and lead to premature failures on concrete designs (see recommended Concrete GI Spec). | PLUMBING | |||
| 009 | 1/12/24 | Are HDPE solutions acceptable as alternatives for the grease interceptor and oil separators? Fully welded designs using dual-wall construction are better for long-term structural durability, leak-free performance, and chemical resistance. | PLUMBING | Per FAR requirements, the specs do not name specific manufacturers or products. The specs include salient characteristics of products and materials. If a specific product meets the listed characteristics, then a it can be evaluated during the submittal process. | ||
