Part One, Section One Project Overview, Page 1: Specification Numbers should be noted as 152948N and 152948S. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS QUESTIONS Question 1 Question 2 Is the city looking at full GC service and rehab or will the work be broken into divisions? Answer: Yes, Full GC work. In Terms and Conditions Part Two Page 78, Section I. 1. Will the contractor be reimbursed for all hazardous material surveys using appropriate line items in the CTC per project? Answer: Yes. If there are specific hazardous material tasks that are not found in the CTC, a Non Pre-Priced line item should be used. Question 3 Question 4 Since these construction sites are within City limits, is it required to comply with the long-standing Building Wrecking/Demolition Pest Control Ordinance ( 13-32-235) that was passed in 2001, and the New Construction Site Rodent Abatement Ordinance ( 13-32-140) passed in 2015? Answer: Contractor must comply with all laws. Are all of the City's facilities South of Madison Street scheduled for repair & rehabilitation?

Question 5 Question 6 Question 7 Question 8 Question 9 Question 10 What is the projected length for this project? Answer: 36 months with (2) one-year extension options. Does the City and Project Residency requirement apply to all job orders or just on job orders over $100,000.00. Answer: Yes, on all projects, not just job orders of $100,000.00. Does the Anticipated Work Force Projection form need to be submitted with the bid? Answer: No What General Contractors License Class is required in order to submit a responsive bid? The base contract average is $5M per year. The two one-year options are for $5M each. So, it is most likely you will never have more the $5M of work in process at any time. Can a bidder commit to obtaining a higher class GC license if they are the apparent low bidder? Answer: The General Contractor should hold proper Licenses for the scope as per the specifications and with the City of Chicago (including the required insurance and bond based on overall project and construction/job order value). In this case, it is expected that all GC s would need to perform a cumulative value of the annual base of $5M. Is the contract value the cumulative value that 2FM can utilize on both the primary and secondary contractor for the term? Or is it possible for 2FM to spend $15M with primary and secondary? Answer: Estimated Contract value is cumulative. It does not seem fair that the secondary contractor in zone 1 will be denied the opportunity to be the primary on zone 2. Is it possible to have the go as follows: The primary contractor on zone 1 will not have their bid opened for zone 2 The secondary contractors bid for zone 1 will have their bid for zone 2 opened at the bid opening. If the secondary contractor from the zone 1 bid has the lowest award criteria then they will be awarded the zone 2 primary contract and the and the zone 1 third place contractor will become the zone 1 secondary and their bid on zone 2 will be disqualified. If the secondary contractor for zone 1 bid is not the lowest bid for zone 2 then their zone 2 bid will be disqualified and the award will go as originally outlined. Answer: Reference Basis of Award on page 8 of Part One, Instructions and Execution Documents. 2

Question 22 The Job Order Contract Construction Task Catalog does not contain any items related to the testing and report generation, necessary for the detection, removal and disposal of Contaminated Soil. Please clarify whether the cost for this will be incidental to the Adjustment Factor. Answer: It is not to be calculated in the adjustment factor. In instances where work is not found in the CTC, these items can be used as a Non Pre-Priced line item. Along with that the contractor needs to provide three quotes of the scope of work to line items not included in the CTC, and pick the lowest price to perform the work. END OF ADDENDUM #1 5
