About this file
This document is Addendum #3 for the Harry Simmons WTP Rehabilitation and Renewal project solicitation (RFQ 24-005) issued by the City of Griffin. The addendum addresses several questions from proposers regarding the solicitation requirements and process. Key details include:
The proposal due date has been extended to October 24th, but the deadline for submitting questions remains unchanged. The City will provide a copy of the pre-proposal conference sign-in sheet as requested. The evaluation criteria will involve scoring each criterion up to 10 points for a total of 60 points. The solicitation has been clarified as an RFQ rather than an RFP, and the City will negotiate a Master Services Agreement with one of the top three respondents. The City has confirmed that liquidated damages will not apply to this professional services contract, and state or federal funding will be used. Interviews will be conducted with short-listed firms as part of the final selection and contract negotiation process. The engineer will assist the City in selecting and procuring a CMAR contractor, and the fee for professional services will be part of the rating criteria after shortlisting.

Addendum #3
Harry Simmons WTP Rehabilitation and Renewal Questions
24-005
1. Since the proposal due date has been pushed back to October 24th, will the deadline for asking questions also get pushed back 1 week?
No
2. Are the plans of the water plant uploaded today (10/4/23) the only plans to be provided to the proposers?
Yes
3. Can the City provide a copy of the Pre-Conference Meeting sign-in sheet? Addendum #2 was uploaded today but the sign-in sheet PDF included in the addendum is not accessible. Can the sign-in sheet PDF be uploaded as a separate document?
Yes.
4. Paragraph 1.5.1 Submittal Cover Page references a cover page that is supplied on page 11. I did not see a cover page on page 11. Is one supposed to be provided?
Please provide your own cover page.
5. The evaluation criteria is listed in Paragraph 1.6? Can the City provide the scoring criteria
(ex. points assigned) for each of the bullet pointes listed?
Each bullet point will be rated to a maximum score of 10 points each for a total of 60 points possible.
6. Since the response is now an RFQ and not an RFP, can the City please clarify the language in Paragraph 3.3.12 which states that the “Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible respondent…”?
The solicitation was intended to be an RFQ. RFP language is a relic from a precious document and has been removed accordingly. The following should replace all language under section 3.3.12
“The City shall negotiate a Master Services Agreement to be awarded to one of best three respondents to this RFQ. Additional scoring criteria will be established for negotiations purposes.”
7. Paragraph 4.1 discusses Liquidated Damages at $500 per day of non-compliance. Typically, liquidated damages are not assigned to professional services contracts. Is this Paragraph applicable? Does the City of Griffin have a proposed schedule? If liquidated damages for professional services is proposed by the city, it would be prudent for the city to provide their required schedule for professional services.
This should have been excluded from the RFQ document. Please disregard.
8. Will any State or Federal funding be used to pay for professional services and construction services?
9. Will the city require interviews of the design team as part of the selection process?
The short-listed firms will be invited to interviews for final selection and MSA negotiation.
10. Will the engineer assist the City in selecting and procuring the CMAR contractor?
11. Will the City negotiate a fee for professional services after the qualification-based selection process is completed?
The fee for professional services will be part of the rating criteria after firms are short-listed.
