About this file
This document is an Addendum to an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the St. Johns River Water Management District (the District) for Fire Crew Augmentation Services. The IFB is for a contract to provide a crew and equipment to assist the District's South-Central and West Land Management Regions with prescribed fire, vegetation management, and wildfire response. The contract term is for an initial three-year period, with the option to renew for two additional 12-month terms. The estimated budget for the current fiscal year (January 2023 - September 30, 2023) is $180,000 ($90,000 per region).
The Addendum clarifies that the District anticipates more work than in recent years, which is why the estimated project budget has increased. It also provides guidance on how to incorporate expenses for trailers to transport ATVs/UTVs, and confirms the District will continue to pay mileage based on the standard state reimbursement rate. Additionally, the Addendum provides instructions on how to acknowledge receipt of the Addendum and whom to contact if there are any questions.

DATE: December 16, 2022
TO: Prospective Respondents
FROM: LaDonna Johnson, Associate Procurement Specialist
SUBJECT: Addendum #1 to Invitation for Bids, # 38375, Fire Crew Augmentation Services
As a result of inquiries, the following clarifications/changes are provided for your information.
Q1: This contract is listed as an initial three-year contract term, whereas in the past it was for one year.
The budget is listed as $90k per region which is double the previous year amount. Is the District expecting more than the usual amount of work for this year or is the higher number just providing extra cushion if needed?
A1: Yes, the District anticipates more work than in recent years, which is why the estimated project budget has increased.
Q1: Regarding page 12 and 13 the cost schedule. In previous years we had those five categories but also an “other category and an additional mileage bracket”. The other category covered things like trailers that weren’t listed under the equipment but are chargeable resources. The mileage was a rate per mile the contractor could charge for traveling to other district properties that were farther away than the awarded region. Are they doing away with those two brackets this year and having the bidder move that cost into the bid for the five listed items?
A1: The District expects trailers will only be needed to transport ATVs/UTVs. The Contractor should incorporate that expense into that line item. The District will continue to pay mileage when traveling to other regions using the standard state reimbursable rates pursuant to 112.061, Florida Statutes, which states the mileage rate is $.445 per mile. Also, please refer to Paragraph 5 (e) in the Agreement.
Q1: Under proposed subcontractors on page 14, is that where you want any crewmember working for the contractor listed, or is that for separate companies working under the contractor?
A1: The District wants to know if a separate company will be used as a subcontractor. If you are only using crew members employed with your company, then you would not need to complete this form or use N/A.
NOTE: The bid due date remains 2:00 p.m., December 28, 2022
Please acknowledge receipt of this Addendum on the Bid Form provided in the proposal package.
