4. Section II; p. 3 Is there a breakdown of weightage of points that will be carried over from Phase I to Phase II?

RFQ, Page 4, Section IV. Selection Criteria for Phase I;

Final selection will be determined by carrying the scores from Phase I forward for each Finalist and by evaluating the Technical Approach and Past Performance criteria for Phase II. The Selection Committee will discuss the Finalist’s Phase II Responses and the final rankings will be determined.

5. Section VI C 5. p. 7 Some firms providing specialty testing, as a key team member, (such as TSD) as a subconsultant to the prime may not be prequalified with GDOT, as GDOT does not have specific area class for this kind of specialty testing.

Can these specialized subconsultants work directly under the Prime’s umbrella (Prime that is prequalified in the listed area classes)?

If yes, will listing the subconsultant with NO prequals on the team, result in disqualification?

GDOT does not have an area class for this specific work, therefore no Area class is required.

Yes.

No.

6. There are 6 area classes identified where the prime and/or team must be prequalified. None of these area classes identify TSD testing; therefore, it is our understanding that ARRB Systems doesn’t need to be prequalified. Can you please confirm if that is correct?

To be clear, ARRB is not prequalified in any of the 6 area classes identified in the RFQ and ARRB’s role will be limited to providing TSD data collection services only.

7. On page 13, section D (Audit and Accounting System Requirements), item 3 refers to yearly CPA overhead audit for contract amount exceeding $250K; does this refer to GDOT contracts?
