Addendum 1 - PW1302-23.pdf

This is Addendum 1 to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by Marion County Public Works on May 5, 2023, for contract PW1302-23 regarding Pipe, Pump and Manhole Maintenance services. The addendum documents information from a preproposal conference held on May 25, 2023, and provides clarifications on key procurement requirements. The County is seeking contractors capable of performing pipe rehabilitation using various methods including grouting, mortar, epoxy-style coatings, and Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining. Specific pipe sizing details and project scopes will be outlined in individual project work orders issued after contract award rather than in the RFP itself, allowing flexibility in how work will be allocated and sequenced.

The evaluation committee will not conduct broad cost comparisons across all proposals at the initial evaluation stage; rather, the County may award multiple contractors for similar services and compare pricing for specific materials and services when individual projects are defined and ready to proceed. Contractors are encouraged to submit detailed cost proposals including separate rates for different liner types, hourly service rates, and markup fees to provide maximum flexibility in project pricing and execution. The County's approach prioritizes contractor capability and service flexibility over predetermined price structures, allowing for competitive pricing analysis to occur at the project-specific level rather than during the initial contract award phase.
