35. Deliverables: under floor plan and elevation deliverables, the RFQ states: “The standard
for the site plan shall be what is necessary to obtain preliminary approval from the
Planning Department”.
Was the intention to modify this sentence to reference plans and elevations
instead of the site plan?
Can you provide a sample site plan that shows what would be required by the
Planning Department so that the level of required planning detail is clear?
We presume that you are not requesting planning to the level required to secure a
building permit, but rather Planning Department approval. Please confirm.
