WHAT OTHERS ASKED
14 questions answered
▶
Under Section 7: Technical Proposal: it specifies the project schedule, and materials in the appendix will not count towards the 14-page limit. Does this exemption also apply to a front or back cover, divider page, or table of contents pages?
Compliance
▶
Can the District elaborate on the design team’s desired involvement in the public outreach/engagement process, including whether the design team should lead or support it? If leading, should the design team’s communications staff develop a schedule and plan for outreach or follow a District defined plan for the schedule and scope of outreach?
Scope/requirements
▶
Would it be acceptable to include a graphic on an 11x17 sheet? If so, would it count as one page or two toward the overall page limit?
Submission
▶
What coordination has taken place with TRPA to date?
Compliance
▶
Section 7 of the RFP does not list a detailed scope of work as a required proposal component, and Section 4 notes the District will accept alternative task breakdowns. Should proposers include a detailed scope of work describing tasks, deliverables, and assumptions? If so, may it be included as an appendix that does not count toward the 14-page limit?
Submission
▶
The schedule identifies 90% design completion in November 2027 (page 11 of the PDF), followed by final construction documents in February 2027, which appears inconsistent with subsequent bidding/construction milestones. Can the District provide a corrected schedule for both facilities?
