# Questions Answers

1. Please define “core team” as used in the Scope of Services for gopher tortoise services.

Core team should be the licensed gopher tortoise agents, including backhoe operator.

2. Price Proposal Spreadsheet - The acknowledgement section on the Summary Sheet is locked for editing. Please confirm the FDOT does not expect this section to be completed on the excel version to be submitted.

Exhibit C-3 MFMP Transaction Fee document is provided for acknowledgement purposes.

3. Price Proposal Spreadsheet - The instructions are very clear that no modifications are to be made to the Price Proposal document. However, the Summary Sheet page layout is not properly formatted for conversion to pdf and the acknowledgement box does not appear for completion and signature. Will the FDOT be re-issuing Exhibit C-2 or are the proposers allowed to make page formatting changes to allow for pdf conversion and signature?

Bidders do not need to add any information in the Summary Tab. The prices will auto populate.

Also, Exhibit C-3 MFMP Transaction Fee document is provided for acknowledgement purposes.

4. Price Proposal, Tab 2, Equipment Expenses – There are two pay items numbered 2-7; the first 2- 7 pay item (backhoe for GT excavation) has no unit description, estimated # of units, or formula for cost calculation. Will a revised price proposal spreadsheet be issued?

Unit description is by DAY, estimated # of units is 30. A revised Exhibit C-2 Price Proposal Form is attached.
