1. In Amendment 2 , Question # 1:

“We would like to confirm that we are to bid operating the plant equipment as it is operating now and that any new units operations or equipment will be an addition to the contract. Please provide a list of equipment that is out of service and whether the contractor will be required to restore service under our costs or as a separate repair proposal.

Answer: The contractor should assume that the plant is fully in service. If repairs become necessary, the contractor will be asked to submit a proposal. Resulting work will be implemented under the line item “Unscheduled Maintenance”.”

There is not a line item for Unscheduled Maintenance on the Bid sheet, can you please clarify – Is this a Number we need to generate? This Line Item is again mentioned in Question 3 Please provide a Bid sheet with this line item.

1. Addendum 2 Question 17, please clarify;

“17. Please provide historical sludge disposal quantity.

Does this mean that the bidder is supposed to provide a cost for the sludge hauling? And each load is to be billed against that line item? Please provide a bid sheet with that line item - for each year of the contract.

Answer: Please see revised price scheduled attached.
