1. We are in receipt of the two rounds of questions and answers that where previous provided. We are still not clear as to the scope as to of the sediment removal, it is our understanding that the contractor is required to excavate the sediment between the limits of the vegetative banks, load the sediment either into IBWC trucks and or load into contractor provided haul units. It is our understanding that the material loaded into contractor provided haul units will transport the material beyond the vegetative banks of the river to approved IBWC locations that are located adjacent to the work area. There is no hauling required by the contractor. The contractor is to excavate only. If IBWC trucks are in place to receive the sediment, they can be loaded as the sediment is being excavated. If there are no IBWC trucks available, the sediment can be placed on the adjacent floodway.

2. Additionally, we are in receipt of the two rounds of questions and answers that a bid bond is required for the base year only. If this is correct, please provide the required percent of the bond and the bid bond form. Yes, bid bond only for the base year.

3. This is a request for proposal for Services for Sediment Removal which includes a base year and option years – Make sure to include the Line Item breakdown.
