Questions and Answers:
Q1 B. 1.1 (r.e. required disciplines) The Consultant is required to have Electrical and Structural. We advise
that the scope of work requires a PV design expert as well. Can BGIS please clarify if this is a
requirement? Secondly, the section lists and “Environmental Subcontractor”, however the installation of a
rooftop PV system should not require any environmental approvals or other related tasks. Can BGIS
please clarify what the tasks are, and if there are none, please remove this team member.
A1 The Consultant needs to carry all disciplines to verify/provide 3-4 options for the Solar Panel installation,
the attached Study is over three years old and needs to be verified if the options are still viable or
feasible. An Environmental Consultant is only required if a DSS is needed, this can be a separate price
added to your proposal.
Q2 Will CADD drawings from the Feasibility Study be provided during the project?
A2 CADD drawings will be provided.
Q3 The “Pre-design / Feasibility Stage” has already been completed via the Feasibility Study that was
provided in Amendment no. 1. The checked box for Pre-design / Feasibility in section 4.2 and the series
of checked boxes for Predesign / Feasibility in Appendix 1 should be removed from being in scope for the
RFQ. Can you please clarify and also remove the checks from these boxes and thus all Pre-Feasibility /
Feasibility Stage tasks from the Scope of Work.
A3 The “Pre-design / Feasibility Stage” needs to be completed again as the original Pre-design and
Feasibility stage is over three years old and needs to be verified if the options are still viable/feasible. As
part of this RFQ new revised IAR documents were provided for the creation of a new report. The checked

Q4 In Schematic Design, sixth item, it is said that “alternative construction procurement and delivery
methods” should be reviewed. But the scope of work appears to be set up as a straightforward designbid-
build. Can BGIS clarify that the procurement method is already set as laid out in the scope of work?
A4 Yes, the procurement method is already set as laid out in the scope of work
Q5 Can you clarify the meaning of the PDS Labour, DLO Costs and PDS Fees listed in the Feasibility Study
Budget?
A5 PDS Labour, DLO Costs and PDS Fees listed in the Feasibility Study Budget are BGIS fees to manage
the project.
Q6 In the Feasibility Study, Option 4 systems details (page 38), the cost of equipment is estimated at
$80,000 and yet in the Project Costs Breakdown on page 41, the cost of construction is estimated at

conditions totaling $97,000. Consultant fees were estimated at $11,900 for design and $5,100 for
supervision during construction.
