About this file
This document is an Addendum issued by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) related to an Invitation For Bids (IFB) for Ferry Operator Services. The IFB is for operating the state-owned Merry Point Ferry in Lancaster County and the Sunny Bank Ferry in Northumberland County. The addendum revises the bid due date, bid opening date, and removes the requirement for bidders to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan. It also provides responses to questions received during the pre-bid conference, including clarification that VDOT will not provide a blower for cleaning the ferry decks and that the fueling process will remain as stated in the original IFB.
The IFB requires bidders to provide pricing for all positions and scenarios. The contract will be awarded to a qualified firm to provide the ferry operator services. There are no set-asides or incumbents mentioned in the document. The funding source and amounts are not explicitly stated.

PURPOSE: remove “Reminder to Bidders: This solicitation includes the requirement for the Bidder to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SBSP) Attachment B with the electronic bid response in eVA. Bidders selecting the “I Plan To Complete All Work” box must be certified as a small/micro business by the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (DSBSD) by the due date of this solicitation to participate in the SWaM Program.
If the Bidder is not a DSBSD-certified small business, the “I Plan To Use Subcontractors” box must be selected and the Bidder shall identify on the SPSP attachment the portions of the contract that will be subcontracted to DSBSD-certified small business for the initial contract period and any subsequent renewal periods.”
5. Reference Page 24, Section 31.: Remove the entirety of Section 31. “SUBMISSION OF SMALL BUSINESS
SUBCONTRACTING PLAN, AND SUBCONTRACTOR REPORTING:”
Q&A’s Received during the Pre-bid:
1. Dress Code: Will VDOT allow for navy blue cargo style shorts to be worn during Summer months, with their steel toed boots?
No. Clean, long pants that meet safety requirements are required, throughout the course of the contract.
2. Will VDOT supply a blower to clean the deck and landing areas?
No.
3. The IFB states 15 minutes is allowed for the operator to refuel and ready the ferry for morning operation, however, this is not enough time, especially at Merry Point. Would VDOT refuel the Ferry using their fuel truck instead of having the contractor pump from a storage tank into a gas buddy to pull up on the boat for refueling?
The fueling process shall remain the same as is stated in the IFB.
4. Please confirm, all vendors must provide pricing for all positions and scenarios.
Yes.
