ANSWERS SUBMITTED BY CRITERIA ENGINEER - PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT

2.  Butler County is preparing the plans for the Gilmore Widening on has completed the Stage 2 plans. These will be posted to the Fairfield Township website.

3.  Butler County can provide this information.

4.  The existing sanitary sewer lateral is not being abandoned as a part of the project (not sure about this).  The access road is not a part of the project (temporary access is to be provided), however, the access road is expected to begin construction this year and coordination between the contractor for that work and the services building will be important.

5.  Parking and very basic landscaping will be a part of the project.

6.  The report by Kleingers details their work defining stream impacts (I have not seen the KZF report).  Please note that the awarded design-build team will need to acquire the necessary permits to complete the project.

7.  The services building will house the standard equipment one would expect for a Public Services Building.

8.  The desired clear height shall be a minimum of 24 feet.

9.  Please refer to the schematic provided in the RFP.  The open area on the right (north) will allow for the storage of bobcat(s), lawn mowers, etc.

11. For the purposes of this project the decorative CMU wainscot is to be included (similar to the Firehouse aesthetic).  As a general rule the RFQ and RFP information should be considered together.

12. As a general rule the RFQ and RFP information should be considered together for the RFP response.  The mezzanine over the rooms/office area can be shown as an alternate.

15. The interior walls will be a combination of CMU and drywall.  The CMU walls will be necessary for protection around the loading bays and equipment storage area.  Stud/drywall construction can be used for the other interior walls.
