Proposer Submitted Questions and County Responses

1. The RFQ instructions indicate that Forms 1, 2, and 3 are to be included within Tabs 1,

2, and 3 respectively. However, Tab 7 also appears to reference inclusion of Forms 1,

2, and 3. Could you please confirm whether the Owner intends for Forms 1, 2, and 3

to be included only within Tabs 1–3, or if they should also be duplicated within Tab 7?

R1.Forms 1-3 are to be included in Tabs 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Tab 7 will include

Forms 4 through 17.

2. Can you please confirm that design fees should be included in the Preconstruction

Cost Proposal?

R2. Yes, the design fees should be included in the preconstruction cost proposal.

3. Will the Owner be providing a standardized form or specific format for submission of

the Preconstruction Cost Proposal, or should respondents submit the proposal in

their own format?

R3. The County does not have a specific format for preconstruction cost proposal.

4. The RFQ indicates that Tab 2 is limited to three (3) front-and-back pages; however, it

also states that additional pages may be added as necessary to fully complete Form

2. Could you please clarify whether Form 2 counts toward the three (3) front-and-

back page limit for Tab 2, or if the page limit applies only to the Executive Summary

portion, with Form 2 permitted as additional pages beyond the stated limit? We want

to ensure that our response complies fully with the submittal requirements and avoid

inadvertently exceeding the page limitations.

R4.There are two items in Tab 2. The Executive Summary which shall be limited to 3

pages front and back and Form 2. If more response room is needed for Form 2,

please feel free to add additional pages to Form 2.

5. Is the firm that created the design criteria design documents going to release the

design for use by a new firm?

is available on Wakulla County’s website under RFQ 2026-02 Design Build Services.

will have secured a design/engineering firm to complete the design of the facility.

9. The timeline does not appear to have much room for adjustments if better options

are available, if cost saving measures could be introduced, can there be some

flexibility for implementation?

timelines.

10. Can the project have a project lead for design, that then changes for construction

phase?

would encompass the design and construction of the facility.

grading criteria.

12. What is the grading criteria for the presentation?

packages?

proposals received and the subsequent ranking of the proposals. All the proposers

who are shortlisted will be required to give an oral presentation.

14. If there is a short list how many will be on it?

R14. The number of proposers on the short list will be based on number of responses

years. Would the County consider extending the time frame for references and

similar projects to the past ten (10) years?

years. If the proposer submits something outside of that time frame it could impact

the scoring.

completed? If not, is this process to be included in the Design-Builder’s scope of

work?

and install all equipment within the manufacturing area.
