Question 1
Posted: 9/28/2023
Question: 1. Are subcontractors allowed? 2. If subs are allowed, do we need to bid at Davis Bacon wages, given that this is government work? 3. What are the general worker requirements if any?
Response: 1. Yes any vendor may sumbit on this solicitation. 2. While KCDC is a unit of local government, prevailing wages (Davis Bacon) do not apply. 3. Any general worker requirements are detailed in the solicitation document.
Question 2
Posted: 10/10/2023
Question: Confirming is it correct that we should not add a cost for removal of popcorn ceilings if we do not have asbestos certification. To include the following projects: Cagle terrace, Isabella towers, Love towers, and Northgate towers?
Response: Services you cannot offer do not need to be priced unless you plan on subcontracting out this service. KCDC is clarifying that any popcorn ceiling with asbestos will need to be removed prior to painting by a vendor that is certified for asbestos removal. KCDC does not regularly remove popcorn ceilings and having that capacity is not a requirement for award.
