I am writing to ask if submittals of proposal for said project, Oxnard Union HS – RFP 618 Construction Services Tenant Improvements (RE-BID) will still be in person on 4/20/2020 at 11am. I’m asking because of the current Covid scenario that we are in currently in as I work for a subcontractor and will submit our bid to the confirmed general contractors. Would you please confirm when you have a minute?
Yes, bids are still due in hard copy on 4/20 @ 11am. If you prefer not to stay for the bid opening, you can drop off the bid and the results will be posted online within a few hours of bid opening.
We bid on a prevailing wage project and instead of dropping off the bids, they were sent electronically and all who were participating were sent Zoom meeting information through an Addendum to attend the bid opening virtually. Would the aforementioned scenario be possible for this bid because of the current Covid situation?
The District will supply a contactless drop off area at the bid submittal location (309 South K Street, Building G Warehouse) for bids. The bids will still be read aloud in an open setting near the District Warehouse so that physical distancing protocol is in place.

I noticed for Bid 618 (1800 Solar Drive Rebid) that there are a number of questions and answers posted to your site about the project. Does Oxnard lump sum all of the questions into an Addendum? Or is it best to direct our team to visit the site and review the questions and answers regularly?
Usually architects issue addenda to answer all the questions but this one does not so, yes, check the website regularly as I am keeping up on posting every question and answer there. Some are still in review.
On this bid as it relates to the contract, Termination (section 24.2.2): the surety is given only 3 days to respond to the district for intention to take over after receiving notice of contractor default. Would it be possible to change the language to include additional days, i.e. 30 days?
The District has no intention of changing this language.

That required stud size is only required for openings greater than 9′ 0″ and we don’t have that condition anywhere.
We’re a sub contractor wishing to bid on the OUHSD Tenant Improvements project. I understand there’s a mandatory site visit schedule tomorrow at 1800 Solar Dive and wanted to make sure it wasn’t cancelled due to Covid 19. Please advise.

I was wondering if it would be at all possible to access some information from the original bid of the Tenant Improvements at 1800 Solar Drive: List of General Contractors from the original bid List of approved/pre-qualified subcontractors from the original bid And/or Bid Documents from the original bid
All previous bid submittals have been posted here https://rfp.oxnardunion.org/news/rfp/rfp-614-construction-services-tenant-improvements-1800-solar-drive-oxnard/
The original bid document is in that location as well.
The plans show one room on the first floor with the specification of Conc-1. The finish notes 1& 2 are not clear on what areas are to receive Conc-1. Please clarify that all rooms and hallways that do not show a flooring type specified are to be finished with Conc-1. If not, please confirm that only one room is to be receive Conc-1.
All rooms without a flooring indication are to be Conc-1.
During the job walk we noticed that there are glues, adhesives, gypsum fill, fill, patch repair, joint fill, epoxies, leveling compound on the floor. Will the GC deliver the concrete with those items removed prior to the installation of Conc-1 and Conc-2? If not, should subcontractors bidding on Conc-1 and Conc-2 include pricing to remove these items?
Ask your GC.
There are no specifications for Conc-1 and Conc-2 other than described in the blueprints. Please define “polish” required using industry standard American Society of Concrete Contractors – Council of Polished Concrete specifications (ascconline.org)
Based on information you provided below, Level 3 for Conc-1 and Level 1 for Conc-2.

Can you please provide clarification or details on this section of drawing TA4.0 ENLARGED RESTROOM PARTITION PLAN & REFLECTED CLG. PLAN. I am not able to find a detail for this area. Please see red arrows.
RFI#001 pka Response 20-4-15
RFI responses indicate MEP contractors do not need to be prequalified. I have been contacted by GC who did job walk, and saying I should be qualified. Please clarify the matter.
This project does NOT require pre-qualification on the part of the GC or any MEP subcontractors. The opposite was said at the job walk, in error. Again, the District does NOT require pre-qualification on this project. Note: It is always best to become pre-qualified with OUHSD to avoid concern over this subject in the future.
Are shop drawings required for interior light gauge metal stud framing?
No.
According to the finish schedule it has listed CWT-1, CWT-2, and CWT-3. However, on A4.0 enlarged restroom partition plan & reflected clg.plan it only has CWT-1 and CWT-3 called out. Please confirm CWT-2 is excluded or still part of the tile scope?
CWT-2 is the accent band in the Men’s Restroom and CWT-3 is the accent band in the Women’s Restroom. The drawings will be updated to reflect this at a later date.
When new constructed walls terminate at existing column should column be extended to deck to match new wall construction?
Yes.
Approximately how many lineal feet of backing will be required for keynote20? Will there be two rows of backing? Will detail S or T/TA6.2 be required?
Assume two rows of backing at 5 lineal feet each and yes, the details still apply.
Are existing interior shell walls penetrating partitions? At open areas will new walls be built on top of existing to structure above? If yes, will diagonal bracing remain in place to support walls? If bracing is removed this will create a hinge point between new and existing construction. Contractor recommends these walls be demoed completely if diagonal bracing cannot stay. Please see attached image for example of condition.
General contractor to verify in field the existing condition of walls to remain and extend to structure above where required at open areas. Existing lateral bracing can remain.

Refer to Finish Plans
Refer to Sheet TA0.2, Accessibility Notes 13: Signs & Identification. Aside from restrooms signs, are permanent room identification signs needed in other rooms such as but not limited to classrooms, offices, storage? If needed, please provide specifications and drawings.
Whatever signage is not currently included will be provided by OUHSD.
Looking at the Oxnard HS Union District project and I am trying to establish what the finish schedule is for the Conc-1. The keynotes tell me that Conc-1 is throughout where flooring is not called out. Is this correct? Do all areas except where #4 on the keynotes states existing flooring remains and where a finish is not stated in those rooms, will be Conc-1?.
Correct.
