Can we bid on one of all projects? Yes. ? Is there full and open competition? Yes. There are few contract clauses due to this being a commercial acquisition. ? What is the order of importance of evaluation factors? The order of importance is the order they are listed in. Weighting parameters will not be provided. ? What liability concerns are there regarding third parties? Once a Deliverable is accepted by the Government, it is considered Government property. If Government property is provided to a third party, that is the responsibility of the government. ? Vectorworks is listed in some areas but not another. Can we use this application? To be approved as part of the Post-Processing/Modeling Plan. ? Will a list of participants on the phone call be made available to bidders? No. ? Are there specific horizontal and vertical datum to be utilized? Some suggested datum are suggested in the scope of work. Contractors shall recommend alternatives to GSA in the modeling plan. ? What is the difference between the existing and proposed condition modeling requirements? We want to capture the exact conditions for the existing conditions, including any deformations or out-of-plumb conditions. These may be modeled using mesh, surface models, or BIM. For the proposed conditions that can be assumed to be plumbed and straight, a BIM shall be created. ? Can a firm submit just existing conditions plan or does the GSA want the proposed design with it? GSA is open to both, but would prefer prices for all options listed. ? Are constructions costs available? No, we don?t provide budgets. ? Additional Options will not be added at this time. Option additions/modifications may be negotiated with the winning contractor. ? For both Birch Bayh and New Bern Bid Sheets, bidders shall add a Base Price in the bid sheet to cover one-time cost (e.g., travel, overhead, etc.) while keeping all optional pricing as additional add-on prices to the Base Bid. ? Contractors may submit bid proposals up until Sept. 4th at midnight. Email the proposal to Steven Cox at steven.cox@gsa.gov ? What elements must be modeled? The contractor must model the elements within the artifact resolution/threshold/tolerance listed in the SOW. We will allow cut and paste scanning for some approved general interior elements. ? Must surveyors be provided by the contractor, or will the GSA provide them? The contractor must provide their own. Birch Bayh: General: ? The dropped ceiling modeling requirement for Option 2D includes the dropped ceilings in the corridor areas, not in the office spaces. ? In Option H, AOI 2F focuses on the basement mechanical room itself, not the adjacent electrical and storage rooms. ? GSA may desire acquire a higher-resolution scan of a continuous section of the lobby (3 Bays), rather than all of the first floor lobby to get better resolution. However, this will be determined and coordinated with the contractor at a later point. For 9/4 bidding purpose, this area falls under AOI 2B-interior space, are is only subject to the tolerance and accuracy noted in the original SOW. Questions: ? Are floor plans available? Not at this time due to security concerns. Floor plans may be made available to the short listed contractors. There is a sample floor plan in the SOW. ? Are there time restrictions or is there 24-hour access? There are no time restrictions. 24-hour access is available. Coordination with the designated point of contact through GSA is required. ? Will there be areas to be scanned where there is restricted access for building occupants? Some. Office areas will have people in it, and their activities may interfere with scanning activities. Important to coordinate with GSA, who is here to assist and facilitate such coordination with the tenants and the Marshals. ? Will the building maintenance staff be required to remove tiles, and are there Union issues with removing ceiling tiles? There are some delicate tiles, and the contractor can hire building maintenance staff to help with removal of the tiles if over two hours/day of work is required at a rate of $25-$27/hr. Assistance less than two hours may be given at no charge. These services are outside of scope of this SOW. ? Do exterior walls need to be scanned? Yes. ? How much of the rooftop equipments is to be scanned? None. ? Is the above 4th floor ceiling space safe to walk on? Yes, but it is recommended that the contractor use 4?x5? sheets of plywood to distribute weight. ? Is the 5th floor included in the scope? The 5th floor is part of AOI 2B-interior spaces. The project team is looking for the raw interior space due to proposed swing space needs for temporary judges chambers. ? Will there be a problem setting up temporary targets in areas inside or outside of the building? No problem, as long as coordinated through the designated point of contact. ? Is there scanning required inside the 3rd floor bulk head? contractors can omit Option J that corresponds to AOI 3B. GSA will not exercise the option to scan the bulkhead located on the third floor corridor. ? Is there a demolition list? We will provide a list with the awarded party, and this issue will be addressed in the scan and modeling plan. ? In the existing floor plan is there in between floor/interstitial space as-builts? No . ? What are the requirements for ?preliminary findings? for section 3.6? GSA will issue contractors with 2D drawings, GSA wants to be informed of significant conflicts between the BIM created for the proposed design and the existing 2D drawings. New Bern: General: ? There will be a site visit on Tuesday August 28th, 11am local (eastern daylight) time. Meet in the first floor lobby. ? New Bern is 38000 ft2, while Birch Bayh is approximately 500,000 ft2. Questions: ? It states that there are 12 rooms per floor and 20 rooms per floor in the scope. Which is it? The building is closer to having 2 rooms per floor. ? For Option 2B, what deliverables are you looking for? Floor plans and ceiling plans? We are looking for floor plans at the required tolerance. No reflected ceiling plans are required under this current request. ? Is there any special security clearance required for non-US nationals? Security clearance requirements vary widely from site to site. There will need to be a background check or an escort. For New Bern, a quick US Marshalls check will be required (approximately one week). There is no need for a homeland security check since the contractor will not have free access. Scanning/Imaging will need to take place during normal business hours.
