Addendum_#1_-_Lake_Geneva_Restoration_Wetlands_Encroachment_Map.pdf

This is an Addendum #1 document for the Lake Geneva Restoration Project issued by Clay County, Florida, specifically providing a wetlands encroachment map as supplementary documentation to the original Request for Bids. The addendum supports Phase I of the Lake Geneva Restoration Project, which requires qualified contractors to remove trees measuring four inches in diameter or greater from the exposed lakebed. This standalone clearing phase is designed to prepare the area for future restoration activities while improving hydrologic conditions and habitat health. The work must be executed efficiently, safely, and in full compliance with all applicable environmental and regulatory requirements. Bidders are required to submit all inquiries through the Question and Answer tab of the RFB as outlined in the Instructions to Bidders section.

The addendum reinforces Clay County's procurement protocols, which prohibit bidders from contacting Board members, County employees, evaluation committee members, or County agents regarding the RFB during the Request for Bid Period. This communication restriction extends from the publication date through the 72-hour bid protest period and continues through any protest resolution. Exceptions to the no-contact rule include inquiries submitted specifically to the Purchasing Department, attendance at pre-bid conferences, and formal presentations to the designated Evaluation Committee or Board. The wetlands encroachment map provided in this addendum serves as critical reference material for bidders to understand the geographic scope and environmental constraints of the project site.
