Question: RFQ / RFP 20 21_10_Commissioning: • Insurance Requirements – What insurance coverage limits are required, as the agreement and the RFQ/P do not indicate such? • LEED Cx Credits – Does the district want the prospective bidders to be able to provide services that meet all 6 points for the Enhanced Cx Credit under LEED v4? • Building Enclosure Cx (BECx) – Will the district pursue the BECx requirement as called out in Title 24 - 2019 for all new construction / ground-up buildings greater than 10,000 square feet? • K-14 Project Experience – What is the intent of providing K-14 experience if the RFQ/P is geared to Community College Districts? • Fee Schedule – Is there a range for a fee schedule that the district is seeking?

Exhibit 6 – N-2 2021 0510 Schedule: • CxA Involvement w/ CUP – Please provide clarification for when the Cx Agent will be working on the project? • Cx SOW – Since the potential bidders wont be brought on until summer, what part of the SOW will the Cx Agents need to complete for the Laney College CUP project?

Please provide clarification.
