CONCRETE REPAIRS AND COATING PROJECT

COBB COUNTY-MARIETTA WATER AUTHORITY

QUESTION 1: Section 00200 Article 3, 3.3 states bidder shall be licensed General Contractor in the State of GA. Will a GC License be required since this is a coating project and not a Utility Contractor project?

Q1 RESPONSE: Yes, Bidders shall be a licensed General Contractor in the State of Georgia at the time Bids are submitted.

QUESTION 2: Can you confirm if we will need a GA General Contractor's license for this project or will we just need to hold a general license registered with the Secretary of State to do business in the state?

Q2 RESPONSE: See response to Question 1.

QUESTION 3: I see that a GC license is being required for this project. We have never needed a GC license for a tank rehabilitation project in Georgia before. Is this something that can be waived for this project with proper references?

Q3 RESPONSE: See response to Question 1.

QUESTION 4: In section 01560 under 1.03 A 1. 2. 3. & 4. calls out SSPC, CFR and ANSI standards for abating lead containing coatings, Is this a lead abatement project?

Q4 RESPONSE: The contractor is responsible for determining if any hazardous materials are present, see Addendum No. 1.

QUESTION 5: In section 01560 under 2.01 calls out for full tank containment. Will full containment of tank be required if wet blasting process is used?

Q5 RESPONSE: Where Class 2W water blasting methods are exclusively used the containment system is still required but the top of the containment system may be open to the atmosphere, see Addendum No. 1.
