As this is pre-referendum, does that mean two estimates for each Option, or one for each? The two schematic estimates would be for Option 1 only to confirm the referendum cost and overall project cost. 2. Similar question for Pre-construction paragraph 2.0.h, but we would interpret that as two design development estimates and one final estimate of the chosen option. Is that correct? Correct. 3. The pre-referendum phase indicates a minimum of 20 hours on-site. Would hybrid work be considered, splitting time between on site and remote work? Preference would be onsite. 4. Under the Project Team section, the Project Executive/Senior PM is required to be a CCM or PMP. Would a Registered Architect or Professional Engineer be acceptable?
