Questions Answers 1 Per section 108.1 it states contract completion date is 12/17/19.

With 60 days for the FHWA to accept proposals and issue a contact that leaves 30 days to perform the project including administrative submittals and onsite work. How many days do we have from issue of Notice to Proceed to complete the contract?

Please refer to Amendment A001 posted on FBO on 08/29/19.

FAR Clause 52.211-10 Commencement, Prosecution, and Completion of Work. (APR 1984)-

The completion date is based on the assumption that the successful offeror will receive the notice to proceed by October 3, 2019. The completion date will be extended by the number of calendar days after the above date that the Contractor receives the notice to proceed, except to the extent that the delay in issuance of the notice to proceed results from the failure of the Contractor to execute the contract and give the required performance and payment bonds within the time specified in the offer.

2 I noticed there is no organized site walk scheduled. What steps need to be taken in order to schedule a time for my team to view the site? Is this something we will have open access to? Will there be someone onsite to guide through the site?

The project site is open to the public. The contractor is encouraged to view the site prior to preparing their bid. No organized site visit will be held, and no one will be onsite to guide the contractor through the site.

3 It has come to my attention that the bid bond form provided in the 6982AF19B000012 RFP package is expired. Does the FHWA have an updated form or do you want us to use the provided form?

Please refer to Amendment A001 posted on FBO on 08/29/19 for updated bid bond forms.
