Appendix_B_Staff_Proximity_Table_and_Questions.docx

Appendix B is a document from the City of Cleveland's Division of Water (CWD) related to a Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR) Program procurement, containing a staff proximity table template and a set of five comprehensive questions for potential contractors. The document requires bidders to complete a table detailing their office locations' proximity to CWD's main office at 1201 Lakeside Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, and provide written responses to specific questions covering background check procedures, drinking water infrastructure inspection familiarity, engineering drawing comprehension, employee retention practices, and construction inspection stop-work protocols.

The questions are designed to assess vendor capabilities comprehensively, focusing on critical aspects of work performance, employee trust, technical competence, and operational reliability. While no specific pricing or contract value is outlined in this appendix, the document appears to be a supplemental evaluation tool for qualifying vendors, with an emphasis on detailed operational transparency, staff qualifications, and organizational practices that ensure safe and competent service delivery in water infrastructure projects. The appendix serves as a critical component of the technical proposal submission, requiring vendors to provide nuanced insights into their operational methodologies and staff management practices.
