The following questions requesting clarification have been received to date. The answer to the question has been italicized to distinguish it from the question. This Addendum 2 should be added to and incorporated in the Request for Statement of Interest and Qualifications issued September 1998.

Exhibit 2, Article 2.4.5 on page 28: What would be the definition of the "other services" referred to in this amendatory language?

"Other services" would be any services, as necessary, to effect the Change Orders and Construction Change Directives. The notion here is that the architect is providing the same services as otherwise provided under this agreement; that these services would also extend to change orders and change directives.

Exhibit 2, Article 2.6.6 on page 28: Will the contractor be requested to do the same?

If it is included in the Specifications prepared by the architect and accepted by the Board of Education prior to the solicitation for a general contractor, then "yes" the same will be expected of the contractor. The Board’s construction bid normally include standard AIA General Conditions of Contract spelling out the contractors obligations.

Exhibit 2, Article 2.6.14 on pages 29 and 30: Can the "as built" wording be changed in the last sentence of the amendatory language to "recorded"?

Exhibit 2, Article 2.6.16 on page 30: "(…) When making such interpretations and initial decisions, the Architect shall endeavor to secure faithful performance by Contractor." What is meant by "endeavor" to secure?—the Architect does not have a contract with the contractor.

Exhibit 2, Article 4.9 on page 31: Will the same be asked of the Contractor?

If it is included in the Specifications prepared by the architect and accepted by the Board of Education prior to the solicitation for a general contractor, then "yes" the same will be expected of the contractor. The Board’s construction bid normally include standard AIA General Conditions of Contract spelling out the contractors obligations.

Exhibit 2, Article 12.2 of the amendatory language on page 33 should read as follows:

Do you have scaled as-built documents for the existing building and will those be available? If they are available which portions of the work are included therein?

At the meeting you stated that there would not be a CM as part of this work. Given that, it is appropriate to presume that we do not need to respond those portions of the questions related to a CM's role which appear in some of the schedules?

3. Does the District currently anticipate any separate consultants employed by the district with which we will need to coordinate work as indicated in Article 3, Item C3.2.4/3.4.9 on page 19? If consultants are anticipated, what specialtites are anticipatted?

In Article 4, Item E1.1/N.A. on page 20, line 4 the phrase "(including strike-through):" is written. What does this mean?

Some landscaping is mentioned in the CDB project statement on page 26. However, no mention is made of landscaping as a separate optional service to be included. Is the district expecting landscaping to be included in these services and if so to what extent and will that service also be part of the 7% fee (or less)?

There is no specific mention of Asbestos testing and design services to be provided as part of these services. However at the meeting you stated that there is no ACM other than floor tile. That would suggest that those services should be included. Are they? If so will that also be paid for out of the 7% (or less) fee, or will that be a separate consultant hired by the owner?

Schedule 3, item #3 on page 40-41: Does this question pertain to arbitration and mediation also?
