r Q: Is it the designer's responsibility to supply the surveyor does the City supply it? A: You will be responsiblefor the entire process, including geotechnical and surveying. We want a turn-key project. Q: Is the public going to be involved? A: The public might be involved but we don't currently envision it. I don't see a lot of public hearings, and you need to base your design on that. It may turn out that we hold 15 public hearings, but if we do, that will be considered additional services. Q: Is the Request for Qualifications limited to 15 pages? A: Please limit yourselves to 15 pages. You will not be graded on the thickness of the bundle, but on the content. You should be able to present your case succinctly. Q: What kind of vehicles will have access to cross the bridge? A: Maintenance vehicles and emergency vehicles - That's why we want the pedestrian facilities to be moveable or portable. We have to setup a pattern that the emergency vehicles know that they can maneuver through. CLARIFICATION: The RFQ information package asks for your expectations of the construction costs and NOT what your costs are. We want to see if you are more qualified than the competition and that you will use the latest technology or ideas that no one else uses. Again, I want to clarify that although it does say "your estimated costs" please understand that it is notfor your fees, it's independent of your fees. It is what you think the structures are going to cost. If you low- ball the numbers, you will have to show us how you came to thatfigure. You can break them out: "estimate for pedestrian bridge" and" estimate for boardwalk ". We would like to look at your hours so we can see if you really grasp the aspects of this project. We see the focus being permitting and structural. As for the financials, show us that you are not in bankruptcy, etc. We envision a nice facility built such that when we open it to traffic, we could still have some very appealing space and amenities on the outside of that bridge for pedestrian access. Q: I would like to make a suggestion/recommendation. The package is due on the 18th of April which is seven (7) days from today. That might be a little tight. I would like to recommend an additional week or two to get the package together. A: Thank you for thefeed back. We are going to send out an addendum changing the bid opening date to April 25th, 2007 at lO:OOa.m. Everything else will remain the same. Q: Do we have access to any existing surveys? A: I don't know that any exists. RH) 117-113-01 ":ngineering Sr" BriJge (.\JJenJum.2) Page .) of .j
