Question
Does this bid include sports/athletic lighting?
Answer
Yes
Question
Can the Design Process commence immediatelyafter the selection announcement per the RFPschedule in lieu of the December date in the Technical Requirements?
Answer
Yes, preliminary design work can start immediately after the selection is announced. However, we will need to have the Certificate of Insurance on file in the amounts required and with the following as the named insured: “The Regents of the University of Colorado, a body corporate, acting by and through the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.”
Question
During the pre-proposal I believe it was stated that there are no MBE/WBE requirements or goals for this project. Please confirm that this is correct and that Section IV.A.1.d, p 14 of the RFP is not applicable which states the following: “Provide a description of D/B services which are anticipated to be subcontracted for, including MBE/WBE D/B sub(s) qualifications, if applicable, and indicate how coordination of subcontracted services will be accomplished.”
Answer
While an official MBE/WBE form does not need to be provided, the University is still interested in MBE/WBE participation for documentation purposes. Providing a list is not a requirement and “if applicable” can be provided.
Question
Have there been any changes to the schedule listed in the RFP for this project, such as pushing the date for the interview back to the week of Oct. 29, 2012?
Answer
See Item 3 above.
Question
Will this project follow the City of Colorado Springs zoning code? That code requires 9x18 stalls with 24’ access aisles and allows up to 40% compact spaces, while not restricting column encroachment into the stalls. Or is a different code being used to determine stall and access aisle size? If so, please advise on which code and specific parking requirements.
Answer
The University is not required to follow City of Colorado Springs zoning code. Stall size and percentage of compact spaces shall be per the Technical Requirements provided for this project.
Question
Could you elaborate on what is meant by the athletic field being “buffed on all sides by a 30’ to 40’ clearance,” mentioned in the second paragraph on page 4, item I.A? Can you explainhow this has an impact on the building footprint, in terms of the minimum for the field and the relationship of other elements (elevator, etc.)?
Answer
Our feasibility study allowed for a 30’ clearance along the sides of the football field and 40’ clearance at each end of the field. The Technical Requirement I.j.i say, “The design shall include 300’ (includes end-zones) x120’ football field and 30’ on each side of the field and 40’ off of each end of the field for a total surface of 380’ x 180’. [NOTE: This is not a full length football field in order to create a structural module of 380’ x 180’, which ideally fits a parking structure. However, through design discussions we may lengthen the football field to full length and shorten the end overruns to 10’. This would mostly be a matter of stripping and would not fundamentally change the structural layout.] Artificial turf area shall also include a warm-up area of approximately 150’ x 60’. [Note: Our feasibility study, depending upon final layout, should allow for additional area outside the 380’ x 180’ area for warm-up, seating, etc.] Total artificial turf area shall be approximately 77,400 sf.
Elevators, stairs, restrooms, storage may intrude into some of this surface area but should be placed in way that it does not diminish the use of the football field and safety zones around it.
