Question 7

Posted: 2/5/2021

Question: In consideration of an online submittal and COVID, do we need to have a notary certify the e-verify affidavit?

Response: I think yes. This is a legal document.

Question 8

Posted: 2/8/2021

Question: • What percentage or number of attached seats is desired in the Cafeteria (please note if stools or benches are preferred)? • What percentage or number of Cafeteria seats should include tables that seat less than 8? • In specifying the pub-height furniture (6 tables and 12 stools) as “Additional” can you clarify whether these should appear in the plans as part of the 320 seats or only in the quote?

Response: 1. 100% of tables (other than bistro height) should be attached seats. 2. Less than 8 seats. I don't have any knowledge of cafeteria tables with attached seating less than 8. So I guess the answer would be 0%. If you know of something else that I am not aware of and want to include it, that will be fine. 3. The bistro height (6 tables and 12 stools) needs to be represented in the cafeteria. These are for teachers and are in addition to the 320 student cafeteria seating.
