Common Recommendations

Specification Improvements

• Remove cut sheets from Div. 16 specs that aren't used in project
• Delete requirements for "licensed Exterminator" in Spec. 01310
• Delete "Energy Conservation Officer" and "Waste Management Coordinator" I Spec 01310
• Clearly define and specify parameters for sprinkler system design/build including supply connections, controls to pump, blow-off, testing/monitoring, etc…

Bidding Improvements

• Better bid period
• Allow generous time for completion of contract work
• Allow 6 weeks for bid period
• Bid exhibits mfg. and exhibit installation separately (supply contract vs. const—prevail. Wages—expertise)
• Ensure contractors are aware of project (other than just fed biz ops)
• Acquisition Plan—Contact CO

General

• Revise contract timing requirements—let Contractor have full access to the site w/o FS interference (Robin felt they could operate outside of exist. Bldg during Const.)
• Design Fire Sprinkler System prior to bidding project again
• Use savings from water system (if any) for water/wastewater improvements in LLVC
• Delete note J on sheet E2.2
• Coordinate with IT now!
• Develop Timeline w/ responsibilities
