Procurement #: 44321
Please be advised of the following Milestone dates:
1. Milestone Dates:
• Questions Due: April 3rd 2024.
• Bids Due: April 8th 2024.
Communication:
This project follows a design-build approach, and as such, the Department of Public Property is
inviting proposals from teams composed of qualified professionals to address the challenges
outlined in the Request for Proposals. Potential team configurations may include, but are not
limited to, a general contractor, architect, and engineers. It is the responsibility of the design-build
team to develop and submit a comprehensive mitigation plan to the Department of Public
Property. It is imperative that this plan adheres to all applicable local building codes and standards.
The quality and feasibility of the mitigation plan will be a significant factor in the awarding decision.
Project Allowance:
• Please carry an allowance of A $150,000 for the masonry.
• Please carry an allowance of $50,000 for the gym ceiling.
RFI Q&A:
• Q: There is nothing addressed as far as all the broken window panes in the gym area. We
assume this is not part of the scope or if you plan on adding something in, please advise if
the glazing is asbestos as all perimeter glazing at that school tested positive.
A: The repair of the broken window panes falls outside the current project's scope. They
will be addressed in a subsequent project.
• Q: There was discussion concerning insulating the storm drain piping. Why is that being
done as storm drain piping does not sweat?
A: Should the design team consider this feature non-essential, please feel free to exclude
it.
• Q: Currently you request an alternate to patch the wire lath and plaster ceiling. Without
having a lift to sound the plaster there could be more areas that need to be patched. May
I suggest an allowance of funds to remove deteriorated plaster ceiling and installation of
new to put all bides on the same playing field?
A: Please carry an allowance of $50,000 for the gym ceiling.
• Q: Currently you request painting of piping as an option price. There is no mention of
painting the plaster ceiling or steel joist. Are both the remain unpainted?
A: Please utilize the allowance of $50,000 for the gym ceiling.
• Q: The enclosed photo’s depict the upper roof which is adjacent the gym roof. There is
nothing left of the limestone/terra cotta band and if you look closely all the top caps are
also destroyed. Pieces of masonry are falling off every day and water is infiltrating under
the roof that was installed 3-4 years ago. This is a very serious safety hazard and should
be addressed. I am not suggesting it be completed as part of this bid proposal, but I am
highly recommending this gets looked at and rep[airs started very soon by whatever
means you deem appropriate. With regard to this bid proposal, when you receive the
next e-mail, you will see just how saturated the upper roof is, which makes it virtually
impossible to price fixing leaks that need to be traced and masonry repaired on areas not
part of this scope.
A: Please utilize the allowance $150,000 for the masonry to address this issue.
