Comments
Tina Jones -- 8/17/2020: • Can you clarify what scope is expected per location? (i.e. full renovation, partial renovation, SD-CD, branding, etc.) Project will likely be a partial renovation at all locations; SD-CD. However, initial space planning and budgeting will determine final program. RFQ will allow us to identify the most qualified firm having the resources and experience performing like projects. • Can you clarify the scope to be included in the fee based upon percentage of construction costs? (SD-CD, branding, renderings, etc.) Fee calculation would be a percentage based on full construction value as requested in the RFQ. Two full construction estimated values have been provided allowing the respondent to utilize a tiered fee approach if desired. • Can you share the current design standards and program requirements? Not applicable at this time. • Can you clarify scope expectations for Conceptual Planning Services outside of the renderings and fly-throughs? Is that the same or different for each location? The expectation at each location is the same. Renderings, “fly-throughs”, and presentation of same is the basis of the Conceptual Planning Services(s). • Are design services inclusive of both back of house and front of house areas? For the purpose of the RFQ, front of house areas are the focus. • Is the re-theming (new brand, logo, etc.) included in the scope of services or is it pre-determined? Re-branding, logoing, etc. is pre-determined.
