## Description

**CONTINUATION OF SF 30 BLOCK 20:** This amendment clarifies the qualifications for the CQC System Manager as referenced in Amendment 0005 and Specification Section 01 45 00, paragraph 1.4.B. QUESTION:Â Amendment 0005 introduces a requirement that the CQC System Manager have a degree in engineering, architecture, or construction management; with five years of construction experience.

This contradicts the specifications, 01 45 00 para 1.4.B which state the CQC System Manager is required to be a construction person with a minimum of 10 years in related work, and no mention of a requirement to have a degree. Will a construction person with 10 years experience in related work be acceptable in lieu of a degree in engineering, architecture, or construction management?

**ANSWER:** Yes. Ten (10) years experience in related construction work is acceptable in lieu of a degree in engineering, architecture, or construction management. All other terms and conditions of the solicitation remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
