- On the Design-Build Entity Qualifications Statement (DBQ), under letter C. for the Proposed Team we need clarification on what is to be listed for the items labeled “Design Firm Registration Number or Apprenticeship and Training Program” if the offeror (Design Build Entity) is the Design/Build General Trades Contractor and not part of the Architect and Engineer Team. Do we simply just list “Yes” if we provide union labor that has Apprenticeship and Training Programs in place?
- On the Design-Build Entity Qualifications Statement (DBQ), under letter C. for the Proposed Team – please confirm that we are not required to list our protected prime subcontractors per Section 30-30 of the Illinois Procurement Code due to the fact that those specific subcontractors are required to be listed in the Phase 2 Requirements per the DB-PTF.
- On the Design-Build Entity Qualifications Statement (DBQ), under letter C. for the Proposed Team – please confirm that the offeror (Design Build Entity) is required to list the Architect and Engineer on the Phase 1 submittal if we are submitting an offer based on being a Design/Build General Trades Contractor.
- Please confirm that we are to only identify the MBE/WBE/VBE firms associated with the Design Team with the Phase I utilization plan? Please also confirm that the percentages listed for Phase I Utilization Plan is only applicable to the design cost of the project and not the overall cost of the entire project (design + construction).
- Please advise if a bid bond is required to be submitted with Phase 1 submission.
If the Firm is a design firm providing architectural or engineering services, their Design Firm Registration Number(s) should be provided. Additionally, if the Firm is a contractor or sub-contractor all apprenticeship training program numbers should be provided for all trades that the firm will engage with. The only Yes or No responses for this section are whether or not the Firm is a Joint-Venture Partner or if they are Certified by CMS as an MBE/WBE/VBE firm.
Those Firms may be identified in the Phase I submittal, but they are required to be identified in the Phase II submittal. Including them at the time of the Phase I submittal may provide a more complete picture of the overall project team to the selection committee but they are not required until Phase II.
The Primary goal of the Phase I submittal is to present the qualifications of the Design-Build Entity with a focus on the Offeror and their Design Team. Failure to include a design team would subject the submittal to material deficiencies related to reference requirements resulting in the likely rejection of the submittal.
The Primary goal of the Phase I submittal is to present the qualifications of the Design-Build Entity with a focus on the Offeror and their Design Team. Failure to include a design team would subject the submittal to material deficiencies related to reference requirements resulting in the likely rejection of the submittal.
The design goals listed in the MBE/WBE/VBE Past Performance Phase I Utilization Plan apply to the design team only. As stated on the form, the percentages listed apply to the total “amount of the contract awarded by CDB”, not the percentage of the offeror’s proposed design costs.
No, a bid bond is not required as part of the Phase I submittal. Section 4 of the Phase I submittal must include information concerning the Offeror’s ability to secure payment and performance bonds for the project. This is typically a letter from the Offeror’s Surety outlining total and available bonding capacity. A bid bond is required as part of the Phase II submittal.
Updated February 26, 2020
This form was updated with Amendment 1 to remove the reference to Phase 2 Requirements. Contractors may be identified in the Phase I submittal but they are required to be identified in the Phase II submittal. Including them at the time of the Phase I submittal may provide a more complete picture of the overall project team to the selection committee but they are not required until Phase II.
Updated May 21, 2020
The selection committee has not yet met to shortlist firms to move on to Phase II. At the present time there is a tentative schedule that has the committee meeting on June 17th. If we are able to maintain that date then all firms should receive written verification as to whether or not they have been shortlisted the following day.
