SB-I000928 Questions and Answers No. 4

This Q&A addresses the Whitehaven Clinic Construction project for Shelby County’s Health Department. The solicitation calls for a General Contractor to manage the full build‑out, including custom metal fabrication of ornamental aluminum brackets, procurement and installation of a high‑cost generator (>$600,000) with a 30‑32 week lead time, and delivery of furniture designed per the “basis of design” and detailed in Addendum 6. The county is open to owner‑furnishing the generator or releasing funds early, but ultimately recommends the generator remain within the GC’s scope and be billed at full cost. No other vendors are specified. • Custom aluminum bracket fabrication (Sheets A‑201, A‑202, A‑300, A‑314, A‑315) to be performed by the winning GC. • Generator purchase > $600 K, requiring 100 % deposit; delivery estimate 30‑32 weeks; GC may bill full cost to the county. • Furniture requirements are captured in Addendum 6 and will be designed by the project’s design team. • The bid closing date is 03/16/2026, with the opportunity still in the pre‑award phase.
