Question 1
Posted: 10/19/2022
Question: 1. Are the vapor sample points still in place? 2. Are we providing pricing for the add alternates? 3. Are we providing resume(s) for the add alternates? 4. Is the contract value based on time and material not to exceed since rates/hours are requested? Thank you!
Response: 1) Are the vapor sample points still in place? a. Answer: No. For this project assume six (6) new soil vapor borings to a depth of 15 feet below ground surface will be required. Please remember there is limited access into the building as described in the RFP. 2) Are we providing pricing for the add alternates? a. Answer: Yes. Please provide hourly rates and a T&M not to exceed price for each additive alternate. 3) Are we providing resume(s) for the add alternates? a. Answer: No, resumes for the additive alternates are not required. 4) Is the contract value based on time and material not to exceed since rates/hours are requested? a. Answer: Yes, please provide hourly rates and a T&M not to exceed price for the base scope and each additive alternate.
Question 2
Posted: 10/19/2022
Question: 1. Are you requesting a lump-sum fee, not-to-exceed fee, or just hourly rates? 2. The level of effort required for cultural resource observation and geotechnical-related observation, testing and inspection is highly dependent on what is encountered during excavation, the contractor’s means and methods, weather, quantity of failing tests/inspections, etc., which makes it difficult to provide a lump sum fee (even with a preliminary construction schedule). Each proposing firm will make different assumptions which we assume will be considered during the fee evaluation process. Please advise. 3. Please provide an estimate for the amount of archaeological and Native American monitoring under Alternate #3. 4. Please confirm if Paleontological Observation is required, and if so, please provide an estimate for the amount.
Response: 5) Are you requesting a lump-sum fee, not-to-exceed fee, or just hourly rates? a. Answer: See answer to question # 4 from Ninyo & Moore below. 6) The level of effort required for cultural resource observation and geotechnical-related observation, testing and inspection is highly dependent on what is encountered during excavation, the contractor’s means and methods, weather, quantity of failing tests/inspections, etc., which makes it difficult to provide a lump sum fee (even with a preliminary construction schedule). Each proposing firm will make different assumptions which we assume will be considered during the fee evaluation process. Please advise. a. Answer: Each firm needs to review the construction schedule that was provided from the Design-Build Entity, see Exhibit 5.4.C, along with the CEQA and Geotechnical Reports and provide their professional assessment of the level of effort that they feel will be required to complete this work, while also taking into consideration that this is a DSA project located in an urban setting on a zero-lot line property in downtown Berkeley. b. Please note that we are looking for hourly rates and a T&M not to exceed fee for the base scope and each additive alternate. 7) Please provide an estimate for archaeological and Native American monitoring under Alternate #3. a. Answer: Please reference the construction schedule provided from the Design-Build Entity, in Exhibit 5.4.C. Assume from the beginning of Grading Subcontractor Mobilization through the completion of Pier Installation plus any time that is required during the Extended Phase I (XPI) archaeological testing program (CUL-1). 8) Please confirm if Paleontological Observation is required, and if so, please provide an estimate for the amount. a. Answer: Please include an allowance of 20 hours of standby time for a Paleontologist as Mitigation Measure GEO-3 does not require continues monitoring during ground disturbing activities.
