BEGIN ADDENDUM

QUESTION #1

Page 19 requires three references and limits references involving personnel previously unaffiliated with the bidder. If J&R proposes an experienced subcontractor to perform the road work, may that subcontractor’s completed projects satisfy any of the three required references? Please clarify whether the collective-experience provision applies to proposed subcontractor personnel or only to the bidder’s employees.

ANSWER #1

Yes. A proposed subcontractor’s completed project may be considered under the Collective Experience provision, provided the subcontractor personnel associated with that referenced project are proposed to perform the applicable work under this project. No more than one (1) of the required references may be based on such unaffiliated/collective experience and must be identified under Reference 4 – Collective Experience. The remaining required references must demonstrate similar work performed by the Bidder.

QUESTION #2

Please identify any specific contractor license classification required of the prime or performing subcontractor, along with the required commercial general liability and automobile liability limits.
