PROPOSER'S QUESTIONS
Note: Questions are in plain text and City responses are in italic text.
Question 1) We are planning on submitting on the RFQ, however we are seeing that the scheduled interview timeline coincides with the Station Design Conference in Glendale, AZ that runs from May 20-23. Currently over 575 police and fire departments are attending, and from what we know, a couple of firms submitting are lecturing throughout the week. (our team as well as another). link https://www.fhstationdesign.com/ We are looking to see if there could be any consideration to moving potential interview dates to:
Friday May 24
Monday May 27
Tuesday May 28th
Starting on Wednesday the 29th, I believe there is an additional conference that others may be impacted by, it's a busy window for these conferences.
Answer 1) The City has decided to not only extend the interview dates, but also the SOQ submittal due date. Replace the entire RFQ Schedule section on page 3 with the following:

Question 2) Would you like to see any engineering or cost estimating consultants in the SOQ, or will the City want to help in that selection if they are needed for this planning phase?
Answer 2) The City does not anticipate a need for engineering consultants at this time but would like to review qualifications for cost estimating consultants since cost estimating is a major desired outcome from the proposed scope of services.
