QUESTIONS & ANSWERS No. 6

Issued: March 6, 2026

Whitehaven Clinic Construction

(Health Services Department)

TO ALL PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS:

The following question(s) were submitted by potential bidders with answers listed below in red:

• Throughout the released “Questions & Answers #2, dated December xx, 2025” there are

references to “Updated” A-700, 800 & 900 series drawings. All the original drawings are dated

10/06/2025 and we have no record of an “updated set”, the Civils that came out with Addenda

#2 are dated 12/18/2025. However, the drawings that accompanied Addenda #6 (dated

2/13/2026) have “Updated” A-700, 800 & 900 series drawings. Are these the drawings that are

referenced in the Q&A #2 from December? Please advise. Thank you. Yes, the revised building

package drawings issued under Addendum No. 6 are drawings reference in Q/A No. 2 responses.

• Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to locate the elevator specification. Can you

provide clarity on this matter for us? Thank you. The basis of design is KONE, please see

attached document labeled Kone Layout Whitehaven Clinic.

• Currently the project is scheduled to bid on Monday (16-MAR-26). Historically, Monday is the

worst day to bid projects and leads to higher prices. All the bidders will still get you a price, but

Shelby County will receive better pricing on a Wednesday or Thursday. These are our tax dollars

too and we hate to see them wasted needlessly. The bid due date will remain March 16, 2026.

• On the Tennessee Sales Tax and the furniture. If Shelby County purchases the Furniture directly

, outside of the construction contract, it would not be subject to Tennessee Sales Tax, if it was

not installed by the contractor. Per the TN Department of Revenue document that we

forwarded earlier, even if the Tax-Exempt Entity buys the material directly and turns it over to

the contractor for installation. The Contractor is responsible to pay tax on the material. Shelby

County is a tax-exempt entity, but any products purchased by a general or sub-contractor is not

tax exempt. All products purchased for this project must have the sales tax paid by the

contractor.

Sincerely,
