This Addendum, including all questions and answers, shall become and form a part of the original RFQ package and shall be considered when preparing your proposal.

The purpose of this addendum is to provide the answers to the written questions received during the question and answer period of the RFQ Phase as follows:

I. Written Questions and Answers:

Questions Answers

1. Can you adjust the range of the previously awarded work by GDOT? The range seems very small from nothing to the maximum for credit. When looking at the latest statistics reports, the top 5 firms with GDOT all have over $100 million in fees with GDOT. There are a large number with over $10 million. Treating these the same as the ones with over $3 million does not seem to serve the purpose. I know this is total contracts, but it gives a good idea of current loads.

Can we suggest:

$0-$1 Million Excellent $1 million to $3 million good $3 million to $6 million Adequate $6 million to $10 million Marginal

>$10 million poor

This question will be discussed at the next CRC Procurement meeting scheduled for 10/06/21. After the meeting, if requirements change for Section IV. Item D.

Volume of Work Previously Awarded by GDOT, an Addendum will be posted prior to the RFQ due date/time.

2. Will area class 9.02 be used on the project? Most of the time design projects do not collect rainfall data.

No field work is required as part of this project/contract;

therefore, Area Class 9.02 is not required. See Addendum below for revised EXHIBIT I-1 that removes Area Class 9.02.

Addendum No. 1

3. Is pre-qualification in area class 9.02 Erosion, Sedimentation, and Pollution Control and Comprehensive Monitoring Program actually required?

See answer to Question #2.
