RFI Responses
Q1: I was inquiring about whether or not there will be a job walk for this project. If not, Is there a time to come look at the scope of work ?
A1: Thank you for your question. We will not have a walk through for this job. Our scope of work can be found here. Further details on our properties can be found on our website.
Q2: The requirements seem quite broad and general. Are there any specific plans for the buildings we will be painting? Or are you just after a time and material number?
A2: Thank you for your question. This RFP will add painters to our roster who we use to do work on any number of our properties. Please provide a cost estimate in your proposal.
Q3: Is this an exclusive contract to one firm to perform THA projects for a period of time? The evaluation criteria notes a “price list” to be completed. Where can the price list be found?
A3: We will be selecting painters to add to our roster to complete work on any number of our properties. The initial contract will be three years. Please provide a price list in your proposal, apologies for any confusion.
Q4: What’s the Deadline for pricing submissions?

A5: Please include a time and material estimate in your proposal.
Q6: What was last year’s contract value?
A6: This information cannot be provided at this time.
Q7: I could not find the bid sheet. Does this bid go by square footage and/or linear footage or is it one bid number for each project?
A7: Please provide your rate for square or linear foot or an hourly rate based on the scope of work and your evaluation (apologies if I misunderstand your question).
Q8: Could you please provide further clarification on the Price List criteria of the proposal requirements? How would you like to see this presented?
A8: Please provide pricing based on the scope of work and your assessment of that.
Q9: Do you have a list of job and/or task classifications such as commercial prevailing rates, residential prevailing wage rates, exterior painting, interior painting, etc.? Worker compensation rates vary depending on whether painting is done on the interior or the exterior, so I want to ensure our pricing is accurate and competitive.
A9: The job description can be found in the scope of work. Only four of our units in total are public housing and will fall into prevailing wage.
Q9: Wanted to get clarification on scope of work submission. The scope of work description on the website included many different work items which made it a bit unclear on bid submission. Do we fill out appendix A as a per sq/ft price, per door and per cabinet. How do we tackle additional work item pricing such as large drywall patching and wallpaper removal?
A9: If you have a pricing sheet you’re welcome to submit your own if you have one.
Q9: We received an invite to submit a proposal for painting, but the link that was included does not include any drawings or links to drawings. Please advise how to proceed in obtaining these.
