Overview: Bid Tabulation for Lee College Nursing Renovation CSP #211208-01
Documents:
Question 1
Posted: 11/18/2021
Question: Will there be a qualifications component to this bid? If so, where would I find the criteria? Also, is there a SOW available, project cost, etc.? Thank you in advance for your timely response.
Response: Qualifications/Selection Criteria has been added. See addendum No. 1. Regarding a SOW- Refer to Sheet A0.80.01, Specification section 001113-Advertisement for Bid, 1.1 E. for Project description. The project cost is less than $2,000,000.
Question 2
Posted: 11/29/2021
Question: Please provide new MEP & AV drawings for existing classroom E51 so we can price Alternate #1.
Response: The specificity provided in Key Note P.08 on Sheet A2.31C should be sufficient to provide alternate pricing. When in doubt, match Classroom #E53. If the alternate is accepted and incorporated in the scope of work, any reasonable refinements to that number would be considered, based on final drawings or existing conditions. The Revit model shows #E53’s square footage at approximately 2,125 SF and #E51 at roughly 1,718 SF.
Question 3
Posted: 11/29/2021
Question: Is the rebalancing of the existing diffusers in classroom E51 the only base bid mechanical work in this room? No Alt. #1 mechanical work in this room correct?
Response: Yes, Sheet M2.31-C mechanical notes in Room E51 are all that are required for the base bid.
Question 4
Posted: 11/30/2021
Question: Who does Lee College use for roof repairs? We will need to patch the roof after installation of the new AHU.
Response: The repairs will be captured in Addendum 3. Kirksey’s understanding is that the existing low slope roof was replaced recently, and it appears to be a single ply PVC or TPO roof. But that will need to be confirmed. The Roof on McNulty Haddick is a Durolast Roof and still under warranty for 19 more years. Any Roof work will need to meet warranty guidelines.
Question 5
Posted: 11/30/2021
Question: Sheet M2.33-C shows a crosshatch in the area of the new AHU. What does this represent?
Response: The MEP Engineer responded as follows: “The cross-hatching is just attempting to show the required maintenance clearances around the basis-of-design unit, and by implication indicating that no other components can be located within that area.”
Question 6
Posted: 11/30/2021
Question: Please confirm if the Floor Finish CFS-1 is to be priced as polished concrete or sealed concrete.
Response: Per the 11/30 prebid walk-thru, Lee College confirmed the preference for polished concrete. This will be updated in Addendum 4.
Question 7
Posted: 11/30/2021
Question: Please provide a specification/supplier for the Carbon Fiber Reinforcing as shown on S1.00 Detail 1.
Response: This information is forthcoming in Addendum 4
Question 8
Posted: 11/30/2021
Question: Understanding a 10% bid bond is required, please confirm if the General Contractor is to carry a Payment and Performance bond on the full project within the base bid.
Response: A Payment and Performance Bond is required by the Education Code, thus the contractor will need to provide and should include that cost it in his proposal for a payment bond.
Question 9
Posted: 11/30/2021
Question: Corner guards are not required in rooms E56, E53, corridors, E16, E21.1 and other rooms that don't show corner guards correct?
Response: Correct, it’s only required where Key Note F.10 identifies them on Finish Plan A2.61-C.
Question 10
Posted: 12/1/2021
Question: What is Note E17.1 on sheet A2.61-C in the corridor next to room E16?
Response: E17.1 is just the Corridor room number. However, it’s a good catch that the lines in that corridor are unclear. Those lines should be tagged with note F.07 to indicate new wood wall/ chair rail to match existing. Please include this lineal footage in the millwork scope. The note will be added for record when the Issued for Construction set is released at the end of permitting.
Question 11
Posted: 12/1/2021
Question: Are we to salvage and reuse the fire alarm wire, smoke detectors and speaker strobes that are existing? If not, what are we to install?
Response: The MEP Engineer responded as follows: “The intent is to demo all existing fire alarm devices, including wiring, and provide new. CEG’s fire alarm plans and specifications are performance based, and indicate only the scope of work and general coverage requirements; plans and specifications for devices and wiring must be provided by the college’s designated fire alarm contractor. That contractor was present at the walk-through this week and is aware of the scope.”
Question 12
Posted: 12/1/2021
Question: What is the height from the floor to the bottom of the deck above?
Response: Kirksey measured it at approximately 16’-1” from Level 1’s finished floor. The location of measurement was in OB/GYN Room #E22.6 and that appears to be consistent throughout the scope of work.
Question 13
Posted: 12/1/2021
Question: General Notes on Sheet A2.31-C: 13. GC TO PROVIDE ROOM SIGNAGE AT ALL NEW OR REVISED DOOR LOCATIONS TO MATCH BUILDING STANDARD. OWNER TO APPROVE FINAL ROOM NAMES/ NUMBERS. Please advise on signage specifications and room number/names.
Response: Terry Roye with Lee College indicated that signage will be handled via change order or allowance. Bidders are welcome to set aside an estimated allowance in their qualifications, but do not include it in the base bid.
Question 14
Posted: 12/1/2021
Question: How many electrical floor box rows and how many outlets per row for room E51 for Alternate #1 should we include? We need to know so we can price the costs for the electrical as well as trenching and floor patching.
Response: Please assume (3) rows of floor boxes. One row with (3) devices; one with (5); one with (4) based on the furniture layout shown on Floor Plan A2.31-C.
Question 15
Posted: 12/1/2021
Question: I don’t see panel schedules for LE2, LE2A – can we get clarification on these two for our vendors?
Response: The MEP Engineer responded as follows: “Panel schedules were not provided for LE2 and LE2A. The intent on that scope is to replace and relocate these two existing panels “like for like”. Contractor will provide the same breakers as are currently furnished in the existing panels and will repull conductors to completely reconnect existing circuits. No new circuits are being provided from these panels.”
Question 16
Posted: 12/1/2021
Question: Detail B3/A8.13 shows RA-1. I do not see where this item is scheduled or Specified. We do have Specification Section 113100, Residential Appliances, but none are shown or scheduled that I can find. Please advise if we are to include and appliances.
Response: Master Schedule Sheet A0.70 shows the RA-1 spec under 113100 Residential Appliances in the middle column. The one noted in elevation B3 is the only one in the project.
Question 17
Posted: 12/2/2021
Question: Please confirm the corridor floors to receive concrete floor sealer are to be ground and polished to match the existing polished concrete.
Response: Confirmed. Polished concrete notes on the Finish Plan as well as specifications were added in Addendum 4.
Question 18
Posted: 12/2/2021
Question: Regarding the carbon fiber reinforcing the subcontractor needs: 1. Existing load information. 2. New load requirements and the extent of area needed to be strengthened. 3. Original structural plans showing, sizes, rebar layout, concrete PSI, etc. which should include information such as: Depth of beam including slab: Width of beam: Depth of slab: PSI
Response: Refer to Structural’s updated S1.00 sheet in Addendum 4
Question 19
Posted: 12/2/2021
Question: Are we to provide the projection screens as specified on sheet AV0.02 or are they by the Owner per Spec Section 115213-Projection Screens on sheet A0.80.07 that says says Not Applicable?
