two months, and that is going to be based on the fact that we got the structural elements designed, etc., and so from the point of NTP [Notice to Proceed]. 15. You won't have the structural design for the proposal? No, you have two weeks for the proposal according to the RFP. Are you saying that is insufficient? 16. Well you are going to design the... No, no, you are not designing anything for the RFP. You are establishing what it is that you intend on doing, and how you intend on doing it, and sort of like what the image is that is going to be out here. As an engineer, he sees designing as putting numbers to the calculations, not to design. Is two weeks going to be sufficient to you all? 17 . Would it be possible to extend it another week? Yes, okay we will add an additional week, giving you three weeks. 18. Without a design, how will you compare the proposals? Submit a schematic. He will not tell you that you have to submit a design, he doesn't use that terminology but you submit a schematic, a good enough schematic to where he can make a determination as to what we need. If it is a design that you want to produce, then that is fine, but a schematic will do. In other places that he has been at that had done this kind of thing, they had actually attached photos of something similar that they have done before that shows a semblance of what they are going to be, in terms of color, of the lacing, to give a better impression than they have provided a schematic that shows how it will look on your building element. That is one of the reasons why he produced these images in back of the RFP. 19. You will give us a new date? Yes, we will publish a new date and you will get an Addendum with the information. 20. Any other rates? No labor rates it is all general funds, and so we are not going to be tying you to payroll funds or minimum standards. 21. If the bid cannot meet your $50,000 budget, do we even submit a bid? He has never told anyone not to submit a bid. The way he looks at it right now is that we have a $50,000 budget. What happens between now and then could change, so don't keep from submitting a bid because he is not the ultimate authority as to funds, can we find a little bit more, maybe, maybe not. That is a risk that you all have to take. 22. I am not familiar with Demand Star, I found out through Blue Book, how do I access Demand Star? The web site is www.demandstar.com If you have any other questions, send him an em ail and he will reply, and it will be added to Demand Star. Mandatory Pre-Submittal Conference QA 100610 Page 4 of 5
