Question 1
Posted: 9/18/2023
Question: Can the 30 page limit be 11x17 format? Proposals should be limited to no more than Thirty (30) single-sided pages.
Response: Pages should be 8.5" x 11" in size.
Question 2
Posted: 9/27/2023
Question: Is this master plan funded by the SCCB Grant: $650,000.00? If so, what portion of the budget is design/planning vs. implementation and construction?
Response: It is not grant funded. We have budgeted for this process in our current FY 23/24. We have other local groups who have committed to contributing as well.
Question 3
Posted: 9/27/2023
Question: Should we omit any fees related to community engagement for the fee spreadsheet? Should the proposer still include information in our proposal about our community engagement recommendations and process?
Response: Please include those fees in the proposal.
Question 4
Posted: 9/27/2023
Question: Do you or are planning have an environmental report on the site?
Response: We have a report provided by Open Space Institute when the property was acquired.
Question 5
Posted: 10/9/2023
Question: The park site is in a fairly remote area and closer to Lake City than Florence. Where would you anticipate public meetings and workshops be held?
Response: Lake City and “Lower Florence” is where the public meetings should be held. Not opposed to inviting other Florence County citizens to participate.
Question 6
Posted: 10/9/2023
Question: Can you estimate a range of the number of people who might be expected to attend the public meetings and workshops? We ask this because we need to have adequate staff to facilitate break-out groups.
Response: The more people involved the better. If I had to guess participation, 20 would be a safe number. That’s how many people attended our community meetings in that area for our needs assessment survey.
Question 7
Posted: 10/9/2023
Question: Has a schedule been set or are there critical milestones?
Response: I would like to have a plan shaping up in time for Penny Sales consideration.
Question 8
Posted: 10/9/2023
Question: Has a fee for the project been budgeted yet? And if so, can you provide that amount?
Response: Florence County do not release the budget amount of its project in its solicitations.
Question 9
Posted: 10/9/2023
Question: Can the fee provided be a range, until a scope has been refined?
Response: A fee schedule is preferred. Also fee options will be accepted.
