Question #4: What method of contract bid will be utilized? (A=B bid, etc?) Clarification to question #4: We noticed the contract duration was not provided in RFQ so contemplated Alternative Bidding may be in place wherein the contractor would bid time plus money. If not, is there a construction duration available?
Answer #4: The contract term will be 2 years, with no renewals. Our estimate for construction is 270 Days with an additional 60 for final invoicing.
Question #5: Can the County provide the scheduled duration of the project?
Answer #5: Two (2) Hundred and Seventy-Five Days.
Question #6: Does the County Expect Public Information Services to be needed for this Contract?
Answer #6: No
Question #7: Has the actual construction portion of this Bid already been let for bidding? Our company would like to bid on the trail construction.
Answer #7: No. In regards to the construction, if selected for CEI, your company/firm is unable to bid on the Invitation to Bid (ITB) Project. Per FDOT, CEI has to be completely separate from the Engineer on Record (EOR) and construction contractor.
Question #8: RFQ Document is RESPONSE DOCUMENT #11: SWORN STATEMENT – PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES. Please provide.
Answer #8: See the attached Revised Response Document #10 & Response Document #11.
