Question:
On p. 6 of the RFP, under Assigned Project Management Staff, some of the narrative appears to be related to the design-build project rather than to the OPM contract. Would you please clarify what is meant by Project Director, Principal On-Site Superintendent, and Design Manager for an OPM contract? Thank you.
Answer:
We carried similar terminology through both solicitations. Depending upon your proposal and company organization, the OPM staff is expected to address the requirements for the overall project leader (Director), the daily on-site presence (Superintendent), and the personnel reviewing the design and shop drawings (Design Manager).
