ADDENDUM #1

PROJECT:

#148-MAINT-054

Asheville High Flooring at CTE Building PROJECT

The solicitation named above is modified as set forth in this Addendum. The original RFP Documents and

any previously issued addenda remain in full force and effect, except as modified by this Addendum, which

is hereby made part of the RFP. Proposer shall take this Addendum into consideration when preparing and

submitting its Proposal.

This Addendum #1 to the RFP# 148‐MAINT‐054 contains the following additions, clarifications and/or

changes:

 Addresses answers to questions received.

QUESTIONS received from one or more vendors. ANSWERS are in red font:

1. When I met Tim Shelton at the high school yesterday to get some measurements. He told me

everything, but the two bathrooms and the janitor’s closet was getting new LVT. In the documents

it just lists 8 rooms and the hall. I assume that the room numbers apply to the classrooms but don’t

know for sure since they are not numbered on the floor plan. All the areas except the bathrooms

are color coded for new flooring including the janitor’s closet. So is it to be included or not? Please

let me know so I can get this finished up and turned in but the due date. Everything in yellow on

the map attachment is included in the scope of work, including closets. The only two areas not

included, as indicated on the map attachment, are two bathrooms.

2. Since the existing flooring has not yet been fully removed, I wanted to confirm how Asheville City

Schools would like proposers to account for potential subfloor preparation (moisture mitigation,

leveling, etc.) that cannot be fully assessed prior to bid submission. This is not on a slab, so

moisture is not an immediate concern. Leveling is to be performed by the contractor.

3. Should proposals include a standard allowance for preparation, or would unforeseen conditions

identified after flooring removal be addressed separately if encountered? No, all costs should be

included.

4. Additionally, is there an anticipated timeline for when flooring removal will be completed prior to

the project start? We anticipate flooring removal in June.
