Clarifications

The following are clarifications based on questions received.

1. My company provides most of the services required to complete this project, but not everything. Can I team with subcontractors?

Response: Yes. Please include subcontractor(s) information and references in SOQ package.

2. I noticed that the plans included in the RFQ are Conceptual. Also, the contract documents mention that engineering services will need to be supplied by the Contractor. How much engineering is going to be required for this project? Also, will we need to file and LDP or other permits?

Response: The intent of the CMAR nature of the project is to have the Contractor lead the construction process and provide whatever minimal engineering is needed to complete the project. There is a retaining wall on the project that will need to be designed. Also, the Contractor will need to have a civil engineer available for things that may arise such as minor storm drainage design or pedestrian accommodations, etc. An LDP will be required, as well as other potential permits such as a stream buffer variance. The conceptual landscape architectural plans will be used as the basis for the landscaping design and general trail alignment during construction. Exact planting locations, etc. will be determined in the field.

3. What is the footprint of the bench and call box pads, and do they require extensive concrete and reinforcement?

- 2 -

Response: No, it is expected that the pads will be placed just around the benches and call boxes and will be a typical light duty load pad consisting of about 4 to 6 inches of concrete and possibly a few inches of GAB or #57 stone base.

4. What are the approximate dimensions of the retaining wall that needs to be replaced?

Response: The wall is approximately 6 feet tall at the highest point and tapers down on both sides. The total length is roughly 200 to 250 feet. It may be that this wall can be shortened, and tie-in slopes provided at both ends. However, this will be determined at a later date.

5. How much fencing is expected, and can this be handled by a subcontractor?

Response: The fence runs the entire length of the trail along the back of the property line. Refer to the plans for further details. Yes, this portion of the work may be subcontracted out.

6. My company has experience with most of the type of work related to this project, but we have never been involved in a CMAR project. Can we still pursue this project?

Response: Everyone with relevant experience is encouraged to submit proposals.

7. Do we need to provide costs in a bid schedule at this time?

Response: This is a request for qualifications only. Cost discussions will be handled at a later date.
