002 6/10/2016 The minutes of the pre-proposal conference item #2, b. states “Project was formerly 2 separate facilities, each with their own source of funding, but is now 2 separate functions combined into one contract.”

Section 00010 – Solicitation Contract Form, shows separate pricing for each “building” as well as separate alternates. Please confirm that pricing is to be submitted based on this “separate” format.

6/10/2016 6/13/2016 6/16/2016 Provide pricing in accordance with solicitation Section 00110, paragraph 2.5.1.4.

003 6/14/2016 The bid forms call for separate pricing for construction of the EHMS and the VMS. There are no drawings detailing the separation and how to construct the areas where they meet if either building is removed and not taken in the contract. Please advise how to figure the MEPS for these areas as well as the exterior & interior construction at the walls that separate the two buildings.

6/14/2016 6/20/2016 6/20/2016 For bidding purposes, the separation of pricing for the EHMS & FMS should be based on dimensional (separation) lines shown on Floor Plans, Elevations, and Building Sections which define the extent of each facility component. The engineering systems have been designed to allow flexible segregation between each building should either structure need to be stand alone system. It should be noted the intent is to award both facility components as a single project, however, should the project pursue an award for a single project (e.g. EHMS or FMS), minor adjustments to the documents for the applicable systems and an exterior wall (similar to A2/A-511) along the dimensional separation line will be provided within a subsequent amendment after this Bidding period.
