NOTICE TO ALL PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS:

Addendum No. 1 is being issued for the above-referenced IFB. Bids for this work shall be with the full understanding of this Addendum.

The following represents questions submitted for this IFB and Caltrans responses:

Question 1: Where can I find the published American Metal Market (AMM) price for the Port of San Diego?

Answer 1: Please see the attached corrected bid proposal, which references pricing for scrap metal based at the Port of Los Angeles and not San Diego in Column D of the Bid Proposal.

Question 2: The Bid Sheet lists a line item requesting the Contractor’s Competitive Percentage for non-ferrous metals, but there is no AMM price for non-ferrous metals.

Which category should we use as a basis for pricing?

Answer 2: Please the attached corrected Bid Proposal.
