RFP Title: Design/Build Services for DelSesto Middle School

Procurement #: 44564

Please be advised of the following Milestone dates:

1. Milestone Dates:

• Questions Due: April 3rd 2024.

Communication:

This project follows a design-build approach, and as such, the Department of Public Property is

inviting proposals from teams composed of qualified professionals to address the challenges

outlined in the Request for Proposals. Potential team configurations may include, but are not

limited to, a general contractor, architect, and engineers. It is the responsibility of the design-build

team to develop and submit a comprehensive mitigation plan to the Department of Public

Property. It is imperative that this plan adheres to all applicable local building codes and standards.

The quality and feasibility of the mitigation plan will be a significant factor in the awarding decision.

RFI Q&A:

• Q: There are numerous sink holes throughout the perimeter of the building foundation.

The transformer pad and bollards are also sinking. Finally, the areas within your scope of

work, these are also sinking 3” to 4”. Is this building built on an existing dump or landfill?

A: I have received information from PPSD indicating that Delsesto is situated on a former

landfill, which is monitored for off-gases emanating from the ground. The need to fill

certain areas around the building arises from the decomposition of materials beneath the

surface. Generally, concerns are minimal unless excavation disrupts the protective cap.

However, any addition of materials to the site might necessitate a formal inspection.

For more detailed insights and guidance, Donna Pallister, who is the Principal Engineer

and Vice President at Arcadis, which oversees the Springfield Complex monitoring for

PPSD, is the point of contact. Her expertise and knowledge in this field will be invaluable

for any further information or clarification required.

• Q: Please confirm that part of the requirement of this RFP is to hire a Civil Engineer to

provide design drawings to ensure drainage requirements are met and submission of

stamped drawings are required? Also confirm you require upgrades to current ADA codes

for the ramps with required stamped design drawings?

A: Confirmed. A key requirement is the engagement of a Civil Engineer. Their role will

involve producing design drawings to fulfill drainage criteria, along with the provision of

officially stamped drawings for submission. Additionally, design-build teams must

implement upgrades to existing ramps to comply with current ADA standards

• Q: Under the add alternate please confirm the location of the “South Side Ramp and

slab” is in the courtyard? If not, please provide a location.?

A: The South Side Ramp and slab are located in the courtyard.

• Q: We have since discovered this is a DEM regulated site and there are restrictions and

guidelines that are in place for how deep excavation’s can be. Clearly all these areas as

part of the scope have sunk 3” to 4” as a result of settlement. Do you have as-builts or

some documentation on just how much fill was removed and replaced in the various

areas to determine what actually was done when this school was constructed?

A: Please refer to the answer of question number one.
