Question: 1. There is mention of needed program management tasks. We understand/assume this to mean the efforts needed to manage a multi-year, multiple construction projects (possibly multiple construction contractors) over a number of years, directed by a single design team. If this is not the intent, please clarify. The mention of RFPs and RFQs in the scope has led to some confusion and a need for clarification. - If multiple firms are to be used under a single program manager, how many are anticipated? 2. Is the entire effort funded or will be, assuming construction activities will be spread over several years? 3. Is the team that provided the hydraulic analysis excluded from this pursuit? 4. Are there any implied DBE requirements? 5. Scope Item 16 discusses assisting the COUNTY in the regional planning and coordination process. Can you please expand on this? 6. The selection criteria discuss the proposal showing competency in meeting COUNTY objectives and special concerns. Can you please expand on these objectives and concerns for those of us that have not done the hydraulic analyses? 7. Will all hydraulic model files and related information be provided to the selected team? 8. Was the hydraulic model a 2D analysis with fluctuating tidal/tailwater conditions? 9. Is the COUNTY open to adjustments to the proposed improvements from the Drainage Improvement Study? 10. Have historic data correlations been included in the study? 11. Can COUNTY public works staff provide assistance during the construction process?

Response: 1. There is mention of needed program management tasks. We understand/assume this to mean the efforts needed to manage a multi-year, multiple construction projects (possibly multiple construction contractors) over a number of years, directed by a single design team. If this is not the intent, please clarify. The mention of RFPs and RFQs in the scope has led to some confusion and a need for clarification. - If multiple firms are to be used under a single program manager, how many are anticipated? The intent is that a singular design consultant will be the extension of Beaufort County staff in managing the multiple construction contractor partners in the future construction phase of this project. 2. Is the entire effort funded or will be, assuming construction activities will be spread over several years? At present, the effort is funded by the Beaufort County Stormwater Utility Fund. Grant assistance is being sought and is expected to aid in design, construction, or both phases of the project. 3. Is the team that provided the hydraulic analysis excluded from this pursuit? No, they have equal opportunity in the RFP process. 4. Are there any implied DBE requirements? No. 5. Scope Item 16 discusses assisting the COUNTY in the regional planning and coordination process. Can you please expand on this? A Shell Point Task Force with members of stakeholder groups and residents has been formed to assist Beaufort County Stormwater in steering this project. The Task Force Meets from time to time, and it is the County’s expectation that the selected consultant would participate in these meetings to relay status and information to the group. 6. The selection criteria discuss the proposal showing competency in meeting COUNTY objectives and special concerns. Can you please expand on these objectives and concerns for those of us that have not done the hydraulic analyses? County objectives and special concerns include reducing flooding issues while keeping the environment’s best interest in mind. We aim to be transparent, efficient, and responsible with the expenditure of stormwater utility funds. The ultimate goal is a solid project design that will serve the area well for years to come. 7. Will all hydraulic model files and related information be provided to the selected team? Yes. 8. Was the hydraulic model a 2D analysis with fluctuating tidal/tailwater conditions? The hydraulic model was a 1D analysis with tailwater conditions adjusted for king tides, seasonal high water table, and projected sea level rise. 9. Is the COUNTY open to adjustments to the proposed improvements from the Drainage Improvement Study? Yes, the county is certainly open to adjustments in proposed improvements. 10. Have historic data correlations been included in the study? It’s my understanding historic hurricane data was modeled as scenarios in the study. 11. Can COUNTY public works staff provide assistance during the construction process? Yes, County Stormwater project manager will assist in construction oversight.
