About this file

This is Addendum No. 3 to Request for Proposal No. 24-00350-ARIB issued by SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) for General Engineering Services Construction Management and Inspection (GEC CM). The addendum, dated February 26, 2025, confirms that the proposal due date remains unchanged at Tuesday, March 4, 2025 by 1:00 PM, with all proposals to be delivered to SEPTA's General Office at 1234 Market Street, 11th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19107. The addendum includes questions and answers regarding proposal submission requirements and must be acknowledged by inserting the addendum date on the Addenda Bid Form, with failure to do so potentially rendering a proposal non-responsive.

The addendum clarifies a critical cost proposal submission requirement that initially appeared contradictory between previous responses and the original RFP. Specifically, it confirms that proposers do not need to submit Form 60 (the standard cost form) for the prime consultant and subconsultants with the initial proposal. Instead, a wage rate table detailing minimum and maximum rates for the three-year contract period with escalation is sufficient, and this table should include overhead rates and fixed fees for both the prime consultant and subconsultants. This clarification resolves confusion regarding Section II/B/1 of the RFP and Appendix 3 requirements. Contact for inquiries is Racquel Burden, Senior Contract Administrator, at (215) 580-8316 or rburden@septa.org.

Addendum No. 3 Dated: February 26, 2025

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL NO. 24-00350-ARIB, GENERAL ENGINEERING SERVICES CONSTRUCTION

MANAGEMENT & INSPECTION

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. Please reference the response to Q6, Addendum 1 which indicates:

Q6. Please confirm that Form 60's for the prime and subconsultants are not required for the cost proposal submittal and will only be needed when submitting on individual task orders.

A. A wage rate table detailing min and max rates for the three years of the contract with escalation is sufficient.

This seems to contradict the requirements of the RFP, specifically Section II/B/1 which requires the proposer to submit a cost proposal and references Appendix 3 which is the Form 60. Further, it requires the proposer to indicate the firm's overhead rate(s) and fixed fee. It has been our experience on past SEPTA proposals, including the CM GEC, that the Form 60 is submitted with overhead rates and fixed fee and a classification rate chart attached.

Please confirm that a Form 60 should be submitted as required by the RFP, OR please supply a format in which we are to convey our overhead rates and fixed fee. The wage rate table is sufficient and should include the overhead rates and fixed fees for the prime and sub on each table.
