Questions & Answers / Clarifications

This document provides responses to vendor questions regarding the RFR 554-26-101 Reslope Shower Floors in Bldg. H&K Patient Rooms project.

• Unit Access & Scheduling: Unit availability is dependent on patient census and will be coordinated by the COR. An amendment will provide additional room availability details.
• Dumpster & Storage: Dumpster location to be coordinated with the medical center dock manager. Limited storage space is available; potential areas include worksite bathrooms, penthouses, or along the service level.
• Material Staging: Guidelines are referenced in the response to the storage question.
• Port-o-let: Refer to the Specifications attachment in the solicitation package.
• Superintendent Roles: The Onsite Superintendent may serve as Quality Control Manager (QCM) and Safety Officer, provided they meet the proper qualifications.
