This Addendum covers changes to the Documents and will become a part thereof. B. These items modify only the portion of the Documents specifically noted. All other wording and Drawings remain in effect. C. Each Contractor shall include these items to the extent they affect his quote. D. There is a conflict in requirements of Section 00120, Attachment A, Item 2 - Key Team Member Qualifications and Specification Section 01310, 1.5 Administrative and supervisory personnel. 1. It is the intent of the referenced portion of Section 00120 to gather resumes of the three key personnel that will be involved and guide the project for the contractor. Therefore for clarification provide the requested resumes and experience for the following: a. Project Manager ? ultimate responsibility for all aspects of the project for the contractor. b. Project Superintendent ? the on-site manager, responsible for the day-to-day running of the construction and all on site constuction personnel, and as further defined in section 01310,1.5,B and labeled as Project Coordinator c. Tenant Coordinator/Liason - as defined in section 01310,1.5,G 2. The contractors standard format is acceptable for the presentation of this documentation. E. Questions: 1. Is a Subcontracting Plan required with this submission or upon award? It is not identified as a document to be submitted with our offer, according to the ?Notice Concerning Solicitation? document. Response: Subcontracting Plan - The Subcontracting Plan shall be requested by the Contracting Officer at a later date, and does NOT need to be submitted with the Bid Form. 2. It is clear that we are to submit a two ( 2 ) package proposal , a Technical and Price. It is not clear however how the Government would like to see the information distributed between the two packages, please clarify which documents are to be submitted in which package? Response: For distribution of technical and price proposal package, see specification Section 00120 - Supplementary Instructions and Notice Concerning Completion of Solicitation 3. Please clarify if the contractor will be able to do any work or what kind of work during Government normal business hours? Response: Work can be performed during these hours as indicated under Section 01140 ? Work Restrictions, paragraph 1.4 and as further described elsewhere in that section and as described in the Phasing Narratives in Section 01100 4. Can a complete work area be shut down electrically , or a whole weekend to replace electrical panels? Response: See specification Section 01310, 1.7, for the requirements of all utility service interruptions 5. What will be the process for getting above ceiling work approved by the A/E, GSA, or other agencies with authority to inspect and approve of above ceiling work? Will ceilings be permitted to be left open during occupied hours? Response: The work will be approved and inspected per phase. Ceilings will be permitted to be left open as long as proper HVAC and lighting levels can be maintained per the specifications. 6. Option 16 for Inclusion of Additional LEED Requirements: The wording of this option is vague and does not clearly identify the scope of this option. The language included in Addendum # 1 does not clarify the scope of Option 16. It is unclear what LEED Requirements are Base Bid and what requirements are to be priced with Option 16. How do you determine what are the "Additional LEED Requirements"? For example, we interpret that all requirements listed in Spec Section 01524 Construction Waste Management are to be included in pricing for Option 16 and not the base bid. Is this correct? It would be helpful to be very specific about exactly what are the "Additional LEED Requirements". Response: This option shall include the requirements of the three referenced specification sections only. The intention of labeling this as ?additional? requirements refers to the fact that some submittals, testing or documentation is required in the base bid standard product specifications. This work shall remain in the base bid, even though it is also mentioned as a requirement of the LEED specification. The Option price should only include the ?additional? testing, or submittals required. Section 01524 is not listed in the description of this option and therefore shall be part of the base bid. As full documentation of the waste management plan is required to be submitted for LEED and Section 01352 any ?additional? documentation / copy requirements would become part of the Option. 7. Is it a requirement that the comparable projects were under a general construction vs. other delivery system Response: No, other delivery systems are acceptable as long as the intended level of responsibility is demonstrated and the process and specific roles are explained. 8. The count of more than 1 but maximum 5 comparable projects?is this count for each of the offeror and each key subcontractor or a total for all combined? Response: The requirement is for each key subcontractor 9. Section 01810 Part 1.11 - A.: Please clarify if the CxA meetings shall be conducted weekly, biweekly or monthly. All three of these options currently appear in the specifications. Response: the meetings will probably average biweekly. It is anticipated that there will be less meetings required during the early phases of the project and weekly meetings required during the commissioning phases. 1.2 PROJECT MANUAL A. Section 01100, Summary 1. Per Addendum 1 the dates for the anticipated date for Notice of Award and Notice to Proceed were inverted and should read as follows a. July 16, 2004 - Notice of Award b.
