Question Submitted:
Answering 650468, Are we to use the asbestos studies attached, or are we to do new asbestos studies? Even though the building was built in 1983 consultants would prefer to check for lead because of experience with other buildings. Are we to do lead studies? I mentioned allowance, since it is not known how much material is to be abated, we can include an allowance for the cost of abating different materials per square feet and this will cover all abatement
Response Received:
Conduct lead study to confirm. Use the provided asbestos study

Please confirm if is the Payment and Performance Bond requested with the bid.
Response Received:
Greetings, we would like to make a correction to a response given in regards to the requirement for Payment and Performance bonds. For the purpose of placing a valid offer, we would only require bid bonds covering 20% of the offer amount. We would only require Payment and performance bonds at the time that the business has been notified as the apparent low bidder. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
