RFI #1 – Factor II: A/E subcontractor personnel and dual-role staffing Reference: Section M, Factors II and IV; Key Personnel Evaluation attachment; PWS §1.3. Question: Factor II states that the Architect and Civil Engineer must be employees of the prime contractor or commit to becoming prime employees before award, while the solicitation contemplates A/E subcontractors. May these two key personnel remain employed by the proposed A/E subcontractor and be supported by commitment letters from that firm? Separately, may one qualified individual serve in more than one key personnel position (for example, Project Superintendent and Safety Officer), provided a separate Key Personnel Evaluation form is submitted for each position?

RESPONSE :

- Yes, one qualified individual may serve in more than one key personnel position provided a separate Key Personnel Evaluation is submitted for each position.

RFI #2 – Architect position: Registered Architect (RA) requirement Reference: Section M, Factor II, Architect position; Key Personnel Evaluation attachment, “Professional Registration (if any)”; PWS §2.3. Question: Is an active Registered Architect (RA) license a mandatory qualification for the Architect key personnel position under Factor II, or may a qualified candidate without RA registration be accepted based on experience? If RA registration is required, must the individual be registered in Nevada when the Phase 1 proposal is submitted, before award, or only before performing any work requiring a Nevada architect's seal?

RESPONSE :

A current Licensed Registered Architect is a mandatory qualification for the Architect key personnel position under Factor II. However, the individual does not have to be registered in Nevada but in any of the States of the U.S.

RFI #3 – Civil Engineer position: Professional Engineer (PE) requirement Reference: Section M, Factor II, Civil Engineer position; Key Personnel Evaluation attachment, “Professional Registration (if any)”; PWS §2.3 (PE-stamped plans). Question: Is an active Professional Engineer (PE) license a mandatory qualification for the Civil Engineer key personnel position under Factor II, separate from the requirement that final design documents be PE-stamped? If required, must that individual hold Nevada PE registration at Phase 1 submission, before award, or before stamping the design? Please also confirm whether a Nevada-licensed Structural Engineer (SE/PE) is acceptable for the Civil Engineer key personnel position.
