ADDENDUM #1

BL115-22, Davis Road Pump Station Improvements

This Addendum is being issued to provide the following revisions and/or clarifications to the bid documents and answers to the questions received.

Make the following changes to the above referenced bid:

1. DELETE Page 20 from the BID FORM in its entirety and REPLACE with attached Page R20.

Questions:

Q1: Regarding B9-B11 of the Project Description. Georgia Power requires the "Owner" of the utility to make any required negotiations and payments. Temporary power could be set up, but not permanent with-out ownership or lease papers showing proof who would "own" the electric bill. If gas and water are the same, how would the contractor be able to put the services in the county's name?

A1: As indicated in the contract documents, the Contractor shall be responsible for coordination with the utility providers for service. The Contractor shall be responsible for setting up the new service and making necessary payments for items such as the application fee, meter fee, connection fees, and infrastructure costs for all necessary utilities. The services will be transferred to Gwinnet County at the end of construction.

Q2: Will the County accept the addition of Vent-Tech Model SWG as an approved manufacturer for specification section 33 34 16-8, 2.5 Sewage Air Release Valves?

A2: Requests for approval of an “approved equal” manufacturer will only be evaluated following the Bid opening. Approval of any “or equal” manufacturers submitted for consideration will be at the Owner and Engineer’s sole discretion. It should be noted an ARV is not indicated on the Contract Drawings for this project.

Q3: Why is Generac has been red lined as an acceptable manufacturer for the generator? Will Gwinnett County reconsider using Generac as a manufacturer?

A3. Specification 26 32 13.16, Section 2.2 B., the red line is an errant mark, disregard. Generac is included under item 2.2 B. 4. as a candidate manufacturer. As indicated in Specification 26 32 13.16, Section 2.2, A., candidate manufactures shall comply with the requirements of the specification.

Additional Information:

1. The attached PreBid meeting sign in sheet is provided.

2. The attached Plan Holders list is provided.

All bidders shall acknowledge receipt of this addendum by inserting its number and date in the Bid Form. Failure to do so may subject bidder to disqualification. This addendum forms a part of the Contract Documents.

Thank you, Brittany Bryant Purchasing Associate II
