WHAT OTHERS ASKED
20 questions answered
▶
Can we assume that all plans need to be submitted to AHJ in the prospective cities? If so, are there any other agencies or entities that would require review/approval?
Scope/requirements
▶
How are the OCLSB and DVBE preferences applied in scoring (bonus points, percentage, tiebreaker)? Does a certified subconsultant on a non-certified prime's team qualify?
Administrative
▶
Part 3 requires 3 references "for each proposed discipline." Is each subconsultant discipline (e.g., structural, civil, MEP) a separate discipline requiring its own 3 references?
Compliance
▶
Should fast-track experience be shown through the required project list, in the Approach section, or in a separate narrative?
Compliance
▶
Should Attachment B (Fee Schedule/hourly rates) and Attachment C (Staffing Plan) be submitted with the SOQ, or only at contract negotiation? The response parts in Section II do not list them.
Compliance
▶
The SOQ cites "Exhibit D" for the OCLSB/DVBE preference certification (Sec. II.1), but the Table of Contents and OpenGov attachments call it "Exhibit 1." Which form should be submitted?
