Please clarify or elaborate on the type of equipment that SCPPS is requiring to be used within the schools. It is not stated clearly on pg. 3 III. Scope of Proposal or pg. 16 APPENDIX A Service Technical Specifications. Is this for FEMA Public Assistance consulting services or construction work? Please advise.

The following are answers to the questions submitted: We do not envision any equipment being used for the services we are procuring. We anticipate procuring services for FEMA Public Assistance consulting services, as well as possible project management services for our larger construction projects. We are currently using CSRS Disaster Recovery Management to provide us with the services contemplated in the RFP. We procured their services on an emergency basis and this RFP is for the purpose of a more formal procurement of a firm to provide these services. Approximately 25 buildings suffered some form of damage, and restoration has been ongoing. We anticipate all of the repair work will be completed during calendar year 2023. We have not identified which projects may require the services of an outside firm. It will depend on our ability to manage the projects in-house. Grant management consulting services are presently being provided to us, but we do know how long those services will be needed. It will depend on how long it takes FEMA and GOHSEP to process any FEMA claims and how much work will be able to be done in-house. The restoration process has been ongoing and will continue into calendar year 2023. We are not able to anticipate what services we may need to carry out the restoration process, but may require consulting services to help manage the restoration projects. SCPPS does its own financial tracking, but the financial tracking required for the purpose of FEMA reimbursements may need to be performed by an outside firm in addition to the financial tracking being done by SCPPS. In summary, we do not know the extent of the services we will require, and will be performing most of the necessary recovery work in-house, but we may need the service of a firm which can provide us with personnel and expertise, in order for us to complete our restoration and repair projects, and to ensure an efficient and orderly FEMA Public Assistance grant process. We anticipate the full cost of the recovery to be approximately $50 million, of which half has already been spent and most of the other half to be spent on larger repair projects.
