Questions and Answers for RFP 305-26 - ADDENDUM #1

1. Question: VIII. Conditions of the Proposal

"Pricing in the Proposal must be valid for ninety (60) days after the Proposal due date."

The written number and the numeral do not match. Please confirm: 60 days or 90 days.

• Answer: 90 Days

2. Question: Bonds typically apply to the entire contract value and therefore cover the entire scope.

Attachment A, CMAR Proposal Form, question 4, specifies the bond rate for the construction subtotal. Please review the form so that the bond is calculated on the entire contract value, not the construction subtotal.

• Answer: The form is correct as is. The bond applies to the entire scope but not OH & P.

Questions and Answers from On-Site Meeting

3. Question: What is the bridge capacity?

• Answer: The bridge’s current rated capacity is unknown. However, it regularly supports 3,000-gallon sludge-hauling trucks and has also supported concrete trucks. We will investigate whether an official load rating is available.

4. Question: Is there a regulatory driver for this work?

• Answer: Yes. The facility began developing a long-term capital improvement plan following a Notice of Violation (NOV) from CDPHE. Since changing operators and implementing several interim improvements, the facility has not received any additional violations since December.

However, the required upgrades remain necessary regardless of the facility’s current compliance status.

5. Questions: Do we expect service shutdowns or interruptions?

• Answer: We anticipate minimal, if any, service interruptions. Most of the proposed work can be completed without impacting influent flows. A temporary shutdown may be necessary during certain tie-in activities, but a major facility shutdown is not anticipated.

6. Questions: Are we incorporating airflow monitoring?

• Answer: Airflow monitoring equipment is not currently included in the plans. We can evaluate whether incorporating airflow monitoring would provide operational or maintenance benefits as the design progresses.

7. Questions: Is there adequate room for contractor laydown?

• Answer: Yes. Approximately 100 feet of available space exists on either side of the driveway for contractor laydown and staging.

8. Questions: Are control panel upgrades included in the current scope?

• Answer: No. Control panel upgrades are not currently anticipated as part of the project scope.
