Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the demolition and site cleanup opportunity.

• Structure Classification: The structures are uninhabitable, but the Government is unaware of an official "condemned" classification or an engineer's letter confirming it.
• Asbestos Abatement: The Government has not received a variance from the State to demo structures with asbestos in place. Abatement is anticipated to occur prior to decommissioning.
• Bidding Requirement: Bidders are required to provide a bid for abatement prior to demolition. A "demo in place" bid is not possible without "Yes" answers to the condemnation and variance questions.
• Hygienist: The Government will not provide a third-party hygienist; bidders must include this cost in their bids.
• Project Address: Refer to the Statement of Work for the project address.
• Dead Tree Removal: Contractors must remove dead trees and limbs as necessary for site removal and disposal. Large woody debris may be used for erosion control or site grading/seeding.
• Construction Entrance: A construction entrance off Banks-Lowman Road will likely be required. Coordination with Boise County Road and Bridge Department is necessary for ingress/egress, and the entrance must be decommissioned post-project.

These clarifications do not appear to modify existing requirements or deadlines but provide essential details for accurate bidding, particularly concerning asbestos handling and site preparation.
