Questions:

Please provide clarification of the items listed below:

Broadmoor boulders/rip rap is called for in the specifications.  Can rip rap from other sources that meet the specification requirements be used in place of the “Broadmoor Rip Rap“.  Most of the rip rap will be buried.

• How will the repair / patch of the potholes beyond what is shown on C2.0 Note 4 be compensated if required?
• Grading for the maintenance road is not shown.  Should our bid include the 1,500 CY of import noted on

Responses:

1. All Riprap shall be per Specification 33 26 31 Paragraph 2.1 unless specifically labeled on the drawings
   as "Broadmoor" which shall be per Section 2.9.
2. If additional repair is required beyond the extent of C2.0 - a formal Change Order Bulletin/Proposal/ChangeOrder will be issued.
3. Yes - the approximate import amount indicated is the anticipated need to allow for grading of the pond, maintenance road and associated grading for the improvements shown.

South Hall Program Plan

Answer
The Program Plan is now posted on our WEB site www.uccs.edu/facsrvs.  It provides further description of the relationships through the “bubble” diagrams provided in the appendix.  These relationships are not final but do provide some indication of program intents.

Question
Will independent healthcare-oriented clinical spaces exist as an integral or stand-alone part of the overall plan, or will your new space be primarily focused on classrooms and related teaching facilities? Any additional comments in regards to the actual use and breakdown of the % of building used for each [clinical/healthcare vs. higher education classroom facilities] as well as your view of their level of interdependence or independence from one another would be most helpful.
