- Description
- Amendment 0002 In addition to the Questions and Answers, please see the Amendment 0002 attachments below. Q1: � � � � What is typically referred to in the industry as a 60 X 24 Modular building is actually a 56 X 24 with the hitch comprising the remainder of the length. �64 X 20 units are available that give you a 60-foot box without the hitch. �Below are images of the size types with typical data port placement. � Can you clarify which unit is suitable? � A1: � � � � Yes, the Scope of Services has been amended to state that 24�x60� is the nominal size. �The 24�x56� dimensions you provided is acceptable. � Q2: � � � � While not requested in the solicitation, we can provide wired data ports with ethernet switch and external connecting box for an ISP or other supply type. � A2: � � � � The Scope of Services do not require network cabling or ethernet switch to be furnished by the Contractor, only including network boxes and conduit extending down, past the floor insulation. �If network wiring is part of typical building build, then network cables may remain at no additional cost for this option. � Please provide network cable options with the proposal so that NRCS can have our IT staff review and provide input on the acceptability. �If Contractor installs network cables that are not acceptable, this cable may be removed and replaced with acceptable cable by NRCS at no additional cost. �Access to install new cables would still be required. Q3: � � � � When does the 24-month rental period begin? A3: � � � � The Scope of Services has been amended to clarify that the 24-month period shall begin after obtaining the �Certificate of Occupancy� (or equivalent). Q4: � � � � Where can the sewer holding tank be placed? A4: � � � � There are no restrictions, however NRCS would prefer to have it close to the building but not adjacent to any entry/exit doors. �The idea is to not have pipe extend out from building so that it blocks access for equipment traveling around the area. Q5: � � � � Can an above ground sewer treatment plant be used instead of a holding tank? A5: � � � � Yes, as long as it meets code and permitting requirements. Q6: � � � �What constitutes repairs vs maintenance? �Section 4.9 of the Scope of Services is unclear. A6: � � � � The Scope of Services has been amended to clarify this. �The Contractor is responsible for maintenance and repair of the facility as any lessor would be. �The intent was that the Contractor would not be responsible for intentional neglect or damage caused by NRCS employees or customers. �Leaky faucets, running toilets, leaking windows, etc. are examples of repairs that would be the responsibility of the Contractor. Q7: � � � � Can the waterline be run above ground? A7: � � � � No, the Scope of Services has been amended to clarify this. Q8: � � � � Can the electrical connection be run overhead? A8: � � � � Yes, as long as it meets code and permitting requirements. �The Contractor can also opt to run it underground. �It cannot be run laying on top of the ground. � Q9: � � � � It is unclear how we are to bid out the gravel parking lot. �Please clarify. A9: � � � � The Contractor shall bid on a square foot unit price. �The bid will be turned in representing the full 10,000 sf however the final award may be anywhere between 2,000 and 10,000 sf if this optional bid item is funded. �The NRCS will work with the Contractor to utilize a full truckload of gravel to prevent the cost of partially loaded trucks being required. � � Amendment �0001 Question: What is typically referred to in the industry as a 60 X 24 Modular building is actually a 56 X 24 with the hitch comprising the remainder of the length. �64 X 20 units are available that give you a 60-foot box without the hitch. �Below are images of the size types with typical data port placement. � Can you clarify which unit is suitable? � Answer: �(solicitation 4.2 Building)� The 56� actual building length would be acceptable.� Our product research found all the standard sizes include the hitch in the overall dimensions making it 60� in length, so that�s why the specifications were written that way. �We would prefer not to have a closed off/separate conference room as this would reduce the overall open workspace. � Question: �While not requested in the solicitation, we can provide wired data ports with ethernet switch and external connecting box for an ISP or other supply type. � Answer: �(solicitation 4.3 Data Network only specifies building shall be equipped with open boxes for data network cables. �At least two data network boxes shall be included in each office and the main open area. �NRCS will install data network cables as needed��) �The specifications do not require network cabling or ethernet switch to be furnished, only including network boxes and conduit extending down, past the floor insulation. �If network wiring is part of typical building build, then network cables may remain at no additional cost for this option. � � This Scope of Services will cover the work necessary for the Contractor to provide one office building for a 24-month period. �The building will be located on the PMC property. �Attached is a preliminary site map showing the location of utilities, adjacent buildings, and approximate location of this new office building. �The current site for the new office building is earth with grass covering. �The existing ground is fairly hard due to repeated traffic, but no testing has been performed. �The existing ground is not level and may have up to 2 ft of fall.
