RFI’s Group 1

Q. It is our intention for our Company to formally put together a proposal to be a TOC, we are however, receiving multiple calls from General Contractors who want to name us as a Subcontractor for Mechanical work for their own TOC proposals. Is it a conflict of interest for us to be bidding for a TOC and also being named by other GC's as their mechanical subcontractor. We do not want to jeopardize our own TOC proposal by being named as a subcontractor for our competitors. If it does jeopardize our proposal we will advise the GC's calling us that we cannot be named on their own proposal.

A. As stated in section 00120, 1.1.15 (approximately page 37 of your solicitation), the only thing prohibited by the solicitation is the contractor acting as a prime contractor and then being a part of a joint venture.
