| Question | Can you share the name/firm of your Construction Manager at Risk? |

| Answer | No. Solex Architecture is also welcome to submit a proposal. Their services were used to design and produce the conceptual drawings and renderings for the leadership. |
| Question | What is the budget that has been established for the project? |
| Answer | Approximately $10,000,000 (Ten Million Dollars) |
| Question | Do the conceptual renderings adequately represent your goals for the project? |
| Answer | After much discussion and recommended changes the leadership is comfortable with the concept, however, they are open to any ideas that would work to make it more efficient, user friendly, and reduce the overall cost. |
| Question | Is there a LEED Certification goal for the project? |
| Answer | We would like to see as many energy efficient designs implemented as possible. Please keep in mind that overall cost is a significant factor in moving this project forward. |
| Question | What is the address to be used for couriered packages sent via FedEx or UPS? |

| Question | In the area surrounding the existing Courthouse Complex or in the area surrounding the proposed Public Service Complex are there any identified planned development(s)? |
| Answer | At this time there are no planned development’s. The property on either side of the County parcel is for sale. There has been more interest in developing these properties since the county has started moving forward on building the new administration complex. |
| Question | Some visions for the CM at Risk delivery method have the CM involved in the designer and/or GC and possibly subcontractor selection process. What is Camden County’s vision of the role of the CM? |

| Answer | Not at this time. |
| Question | Does Camden County have a construction sequence preference for the three buildings and is simultaneous work on all three acceptable? |
| Answer | If the cost is acceptable we would like to see all buildings constructed at the same time. If the cost is more than the County is willing to spend then this will become a phased project with the priority being the Library and Civic Center / Senior Center. The administration building will have to wait. |
| Question | Is it mandatory that the three building functions be implemented as separate structures? |
| Answer | No. This was the design the commissioners agreed would meet the community and staff needs. However, if there is a better way of combining all the county services using a different approach they would be open to seeing it. The location of the administration building across the street from the historic courthouse and maintain the traditional design was carefully discussed and it was decided this was the look and location they desired. |
