WHAT OTHERS ASKED
9 questions answered
▶
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?
Scope/requirements
▶
Does the District anticipate one combined set of construction documents (plans/specifications) for both facilities or separate design packages corresponding to each site?
Submission · Scope/requirements
▶
The RFP does not specifically identify geotechnical investigation requirements. Should the Consultant include new geotechnical investigations/reports at both sites or does the District have existing geotechnical information available? Should we include geotechnical construction phase services in the proposal, including foundation observations, compaction testing, materials testing, special inspections, etc., or will these services be provided separately by the District?
Scope/requirements · Pricing
▶
Are the RFP allowances for 5 pre-bid RFIs, 50 construction RFIs, 150 submittals, and 5 PCOs intended to cover both facilities combined or each facility separately? Are there specific expectations for duration and frequency of construction meetings, site inspections, and other construction management services that need to be included?
Scope/requirements · Pricing
▶
Can the District clarify whether the consultant is expected to be the lead on the CEQA and TRPA permitting processes through approval, or is it the District’s intent for the consultant to primarily provide technical/supporting documentation for District managed/led CEQA and TRPA efforts?
Scope/requirements
▶
Does the District anticipate that actual SCADA/RTU programming, integration, and commissioning will be performed by District staff, a separate integrator under the contractor, or should these services be included in the consultant's scope?
