| 001 | advise as to what the specific requirements are to sufficiently demonstrate to the Government that a potential/interested MATOC contractor has the capability to respond to Project On-site Conferences under emergency conditions or 120 minutes? I have read sections SC4.2.1 and 4.2.1.4.1 and 4.2.1.5.1, etc. and cannot identify specific criteria listed in the aforementioned solicitation. | 001 | Please ensure that a member of the team or a local company will be available to respond to the site within 120 minutes, to begin resolving emergency situations. |
| 002 | Exhibit E-1 at B.7 – suggest the % sign be removed after 100 since the calculation multiplied by 1 will not be changed. | 001 | Agree that the % sign should be removed after 100 in the formula in Exhibit E-1 line B7. B.7 should read "Percent Self-performed Work = Line B.6/Line B.5 X 100 = ____________%" |
| 003 | 00110-2.2.1 states six(6) general construction submittals for Exhibit A but Exhibit A states submission of five (5). Please clarify. | 001 | Section 00110 Part 2.2.1 is the current change in effect and therefore Exhibit A Part 1 should be corrected to read "Prepare six (6) Part 1 forms for general construction, and two (2) for design build, if requesting consideration for this option. " |
| 004 | Could you please verify that the work to be done to the data rack in Room 105 is just a removal and reinstall and that there are no new or additional components that will need to be installed? | 001 | Affirmative, remove and reinstall existing components; coordinate with the contracting officer before removing; components damaged by Contractor will be replaced at no additional cost to the Government. |
| 005 | Request a time extension of one week from Nov. 30, 2010 for the submission of the RFP. Thanksgiving week vacations will have a significant impact on obtaining all the information that is required and we will only have one working day after Thanksgiving for the complete compilation of required documentation. | 004 | The required response date/time has been extended from 30-Nov-2010 11:00AM to 10-Dec-2010 11:00AM and the RFI’s cutoff date/time has changed from NLT COB 19 Nov 10 to due NLT COB 26 Nov 2010 4:30PM. If changes are not made on previous documents regarding these dates ensure concerned individuals are made aware of these changes. |
| 006 | There is fiber optic cable being used on this project between the data jacks and the data rack. The specification is not clear as to the exact type of fiber required. Could this clarify? | 002 | Do not install fiber optic cable at this time; this will be installed as part of a future contract. |
| 007 | Proposal Inquiry: Is there to be a sprinkler system installed on this project? There were no fire protection drawings or specifications on the website. Please clarify. | 002 | There is no sprinkler system included in the project at this time. Bid the prototypical project as designed. |
| 008 | The drawings do not indicate the overall height of the existing building (at the roof peak), or the height of the roof eaves. Can this be provided? | 002 | According to existing bldg design, finished floor to eave trim is 16'-0"; exterior ridge height is ~25'-6"; field verify for construction purposes. |
| 009 | Do any of the other wage classifications than “Building” apply to this project? | 002 | "As a general rule, apply a second schedule if more than approximately 20% of the project will involve work of a different character than the major portion of the project ." I do not believe this will be the case in this project. |
| 010 | Will Coordination drawings actually be required for this project – specifically in AutoCAD 2004? | 002 | No, coordination drawings will not be required. Provide shop drawings for applicable sections. |
| 011 | Clarify remote parking for construction personnel since section states only one space will be provided within the project site. | 002 | Additional parking and lay down area will be located on the north side and NNW corner of the building. |

| 013 | Please clarify extent of security fencing required, if any, for this project. | 002 | No security fencing is required. |
| 014 | Will a temporary partition as described by this section be required if Option 3 is selected? | 002 | Yes, a temporary partition will be required inside the building, as equipment and parts will still be stored and employees will still be working inside. Coordinate with COR during construction for location. |
| 015 | Are standpipes and hoses required for this project? | 002 | NFPA 214 7.6 indicates temporary standpipes are required in buildings that will have them when completed, so this doesn’t apply. |
| 016 | Will a certified survey be required for this project? | 002 | No, a survey will not be required. |
| 017 | May we use the 4:12 as shown on the plans? | 002 | The specification should read ‘verify’ not ‘verified’. The intent is to match the existing pitch (4:12). |
| 018 | If 2.11B is not required will this section apply? | 002 | If the authority having jurisdiction (in this case MEANG) accepts the installers credentials, then inspections aren’t required. |
| 019 | 133419-3.11 Will this section be required? | 002 | If the authority having jurisdiction (in this case MEANG) accepts the installers credentials, then inspections aren’t required. |

| 023 | Shouldn’t doors 203 and 203A be Option 2? | 002 | Yes. |
| 024 | Option 2 -States match existing – need specific information on the existing design. | 006 | The existing mezzanine is manufactured by Equipto. |

| 029c | What are the complete dimensions of the air handling unit -2? . | 002 | The unit shown on drawing M101 is drawn to the approximate dimensions of the REZNOR PDH unit indicated in the Air Handling Unit Schedule on drawing M001. However, the specifications allow for the use products by other manufacturers and therefore it is impossible give the exact dimensions of the unit that is to be supplied. The unit needs to be selected to satisfy the performance requirements indicated in the Air Handling Unit Schedule on drawing M001 and in the specifications. |
| 029d | Please verify snow guards are required only above the doors and not along the entire roof. | 002 | Snow guards are required as shown on drawing AE201 to protect members walking between doors. |

| 042 | On Exhibit C Package Information and forms: In regards to the returning of the completed questionnaire. The markings on the coversheet indicate it should be marked as (Attention: RFP W92L7-10-R-001 "Source Selection Sensitive Information"). Is this the correct marking? This solicitation number is not the same as the solicitation number on the Solicitation. | 002 | This is a mistake: currently reads “should be marked as (Attention: RFP W92L7-10-R-001“, Should Read “should be marked as (Attention: RFP W912JD-11-R-0001“. | |

| $ 1,000,000, must submit a CPM schedule for the prototypical project. | 004 | That is correct, if the offeror indicates they want to be considered for task orders over $1,000,000 they must submit a CPM schedule for the prototypical project. | ||

Please clarify the lockset condition for these doors. | 004 | Door 102 is the only double door. Lockset function F04 as spec’d. Provide manual flush bolts BHMA A156.16 | |

| 044f | Wall Partition Type 1A calls for a 25 gage metal stud. The average height of a Type 1A Wall Type is approximately 22 feet. We recommend the use of a stronger gage stud at these locations. | 004 | Gauges indicated are a minimum. | |
| 044g | Is the intent to have all primary and secondary structural steel members of the pre-engineered building painted? | 004 | Intent is to match existing. | |

| 46 | Do you require full SF 330 qualifications package for the AE that is a team member for this MATOC or only resumes and a two relevant project descriptions that are in SF 330 format? The information normally contained in a complete SF 330 is not necessarily relevant to this procurement (20+ resumes, 10 projects, Section H Additional Information, |
etc.) and additional information required for Section H of the SF330 is not provided in the solicitation. Also, there is not a listing of required AE disciplines to develop the Part D organization chart or Section E Key Personnel resumes.
| Please clarify what the Maine ARNG requires to meet this requirement. | 004 | AS stated in section 2.2.2.2 : "AE(s) for Design Build shall provide a SF 330.". I believe there is enough information on the type of projects we are looking at performing and disciplines required on FBO.gov "List of Task Orders Awarded under Current MATOC" and in the actual solicitation to provide a complete SF 330. The intent is to evaluate the AE services being offered not for a specific project. | ||
