ADDENDUM 1
This first addendum is being issued for the purpose of clarifying the scope of work, confirming the due
date of submittals, and adding two (2) additional requirements to the submittal package.
1. Scope of Work
Architectural services for Phase III (Block 1) include schematic design work through construction
administration. See Exhibit E to the RFQ for a more detailed Scope of Work.
Design and Engineering consultants will be procured after an architect is formally selected. Specifically,
it will be the responsibility of the selected architect to procure Design and Engineering sub-consultants
including but not limited to the following disciplines: Civil Engineering; Structural Engineering;
Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing; Landscape Architecture; Green/Sustainability (LEED); and Exterior
Building Maintenance. The procurement process for consultants is anticipated to begin in February
2014.
2. Submittal Due Date
Due to a discrepancy in the RFQ, submittals are due on Wednesday, December 4.
3. Additional Submittal Requirements
The new submittal requirements being requested are the following:

Please provide a brief narrative (2-3 pages) describing the Respondent’s design vision and thoughts
on the physical design of Alice Griffith Phase III (Block 1). In your narrative, please address how you
plan to complement previous phases yet diversify the site and how your vision will help achieve a

*Note:
(A) This scope of work will require numerous resident meetings and presentations over the
course of the contract. It is difficult to determine the exact number of such meetings; therefore
the respondent must agree in its proposal that all necessary meetings, presentations, etc. are
included in the fees.
(B) Fees should be for Block 1 in its entirety. Please include premiums, if any, for splitting fees
into two architectural contracts should it be determined by the Owner to split Phase 3 (Block 1)
into two financing structures.
