ADDENDUM NO. 2

Proposer Submitted Questions and County Responses

1. The RFQ instructions indicate that Forms 1, 2, and 3 are to be included within Tabs 1,

2, and 3 respectively. However, Tab 7 also appears to reference inclusion of Forms 1,

2, and 3. Could you please conﬁrm whether the Owner intends for Forms 1, 2, and 3

to be included only within Tabs 1–3, or if they should also be duplicated within Tab 7?

R1.Forms 1-3 are to be included in Tabs 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Tab 7 will include

Forms 4 through 17.

2. Can you please conﬁrm that design fees should be included in the Preconstruction

Cost Proposal?

R2. Yes, the design fees should be included in the preconstruction cost proposal.

3. Will the Owner be providing a standardized form or speciﬁc format for submission of

the Preconstruction Cost Proposal, or should respondents submit the proposal in

their own format?

R3. The County does not have a speciﬁc format for preconstruction cost proposal.

4. The RFQ indicates that Tab 2 is limited to three (3) front-and-back pages; however, it

also states that additional pages may be added as necessary to fully complete Form

2. Could you please clarify whether Form 2 counts toward the three (3) front-and-

back page limit for Tab 2, or if the page limit applies only to the Executive Summary

portion, with Form 2 permitted as additional pages beyond the stated limit? We want

to ensure that our response complies fully with the submittal requirements and avoid

inadvertently exceeding the page limitations.

R4.There are two items in Tab 2. The Executive Summary which shall be limited to 3

pages front and back and Form 2. If more response room is needed for Form 2,

please feel free to add additional pages to Form 2.

5. Is the ﬁrm that created the design criteria design documents going to release the

design for use by a new ﬁrm?

R5.The design criteria package that was created for this Design Build procurement

is available on Wakulla County’s website under RFQ 2026-02 Design Build Services.

6. If so will they provide CAD ﬁles?

R6.Yes the CAD ﬁles will be available to the awarded contractor/ﬁrm.

7. What is the expected design/build structure for contract purposes that is expected of

a successful bid? (IE contractor lead - designers under contractor, etc)?

R7.The County expects to contract with one contractor who within their proposal

will have secured a design/engineering ﬁrm to complete the design of the facility.

8. One contract, or multiple contracts acceptable?

R8. One contract.

9. The timeline does not appear to have much room for adjustments if better options

are available, if cost saving measures could be introduced, can there be some

ﬂexibility for implementation?

R9. The County will have some but limited ﬂexibility due to the grant agreement

timelines.

10. Can the project have a project lead for design, that then changes for construction

phase?

R10. The County anticipates awarding one contract to the top ranked proposer that

would encompass the design and construction of the facility.

11. What is the grading criteria for submittals?

R11. Please refer to pages 14 and 15 of the Intent and General document for the

grading criteria.

12. What is the grading criteria for the presentation?

R12. The assigned evaluation committee will use the same grading criteria for the

oral presentation.

13. Are all applicants to provide a presentation or will there be a short list from submittal

packages?

R13. The County will determine if there will be a short list based on the number of

proposals received and the subsequent ranking of the proposals. All the proposers

who are shortlisted will be required to give an oral presentation.

14. If there is a short list how many will be on it?

R14. The number of proposers on the short list will be based on number of responses

and the ranking of those responses.

ADDENDUM NO. 2

R15. The criteria includes interior ﬁnishes, built-in casework, and other built-in

components identiﬁed in the criteria documents. Moveable furniture, ﬁxtures, and

equipment not identiﬁed in the criteria documents are not included.

16. Are there expectations for FF&E?

R16. The criteria includes interior ﬁnishes, built-in casework, and other built-in

components identiﬁed in the criteria documents. Moveable furniture, ﬁxtures, and

equipment not identiﬁed in the criteria documents are not included.

17. Tab 3 & Tab 5 limit refences and projects of a similar nature to the past (5)

years. Would the County consider extending the time frame for references and

similar projects to the past ten (10) years?

R17. The County is interested in seeing similar work done within the past ﬁve (5)

years. If the proposer submits something outside of that time frame it could impact

the scoring.

18. Has a programming phase for the facility related to the manufacturing process been

completed? If not, is this process to be included in the Design-Builder’s scope of

work?

R18. Programming for the manufacturing process has not been completed. At the

time the criteria documents were prepared, it was our understanding that, with the

exception of the large pieces of equipment that require ﬁxed utility connections

identiﬁed in the criteria documents, Point Blank Enterprises will program, lay out,

and install all equipment within the manufacturing area.

19. Is the scope of work limited to the base building and shell including office area tenant

improvements?

R19. The scope of work consists of the work depicted in the criteria documents. This

work is generally described as but not necessarily limited to the building structure,

interior ﬁnishes, built-in items shown, and site improvements.

20. Will the Design-Builder be responsible for the programming, layout, design, and

installation of the systems required to accommodate the manufacturing process?

R20. At the time the criteria documents were prepared, it was our understanding

that the items referenced in the question will be done by Point Blank Enterprises.

21. There are civil engineers and architects tied to the RFQ. Are these entities eligible to

participate in the RFQ?
