October 15, 2025 Addendum No. 2

BL132-25

Traffic Signal and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Demand Services on an Annual Contract

The BID DUE DATE has changed to October 24, 2025, at 2:50 PM.

Revision:

R1. All Bidders are required to submit a Bid Bond, or a certified check made payable to the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in the amount of five percent (5%) of the total amount bid. The Bid Bond or certified check must be enclosed in the envelope with the sealed bid.

Successful contractors will be required to meet insurance requirements as outlined in the bid documents.

Insurance and Bonding Company should be authorized to do business in Georgia by The Georgia Insurance Department, listed in the Department of Treasury's Publication of Companies holding Certificates of Authority as Acceptable Surety on Federal Bonds and as acceptable reinsuring companies, and must have an A.M. Best rating of A-8 or higher.

Gwinnett County reserves the right to complete public works projects under this contract. Payment & Performance Bonds will only be required for projects subject to Public Works Law. In the event of a public works project, the County will reach out to the qualified contractors on contract to request a quote based on the awarded unit pricing. Payment & Performance Bonds will be required prior to the commencement of work in the full amount of the project. It is anticipated that projects requiring Payment & Performance Bonds should not exceed $5 million. The cost of bonds must be included in unit pricing. The County will not reimburse or pay for any items not included in the Bid Schedule.

R2. Contractor will be assessed liquidated damages in the amount of $500 per hour for failure to respond to the emergency work within the two-hour response time required.

FOR THE CONTRACTORS’ INFORMATION:

Q1. Your insurance requirements have three different levels of coverage. $0-$999,999; $1,000,000- $1,999,999 and $2,000,000 - $4,999,999. What level of coverage do I need to provide Gwinnett County with?

R1. Gwinnett County will require all vendors to have a COI at the $1,000,000.00 value. However, if a project exceeds that amount an additional COI will be required prior to work starting.

Q2. Are there plans available for this project?

R2. No plans for this solicitation are created. If awarded the vendors awarded will be sent plans for projects they can quote on.

Q3. Will the County accept a Certificate of bonding that shows they are bondable “up to $5 million dollars”?

R3. Please see the revised bond language at the top of this addendum.

Q4. Would the County consider bonding like the GDOT Quick Response program?

R4. Gwinnett County has revised the bonding requirements for this solicitation. 100% Payment and Performance Bonds will be required on Public Works projects in the amount that you quote for it.

Q5. Will the County add a line item for rock removal, or will a supplemental purchase order be issued to cover cost if / when rock is encountered?

R5. A purchase order will be required after approval from County Engineer if rock is encountered

Q6. Section 3 – Traffic Signal Maintenance: Note 3 states Gwinnett County will provide LED vehicle and pedestrian signal modules to be replaced. This section on the pay item sheet also references street name signs, overhead signs, conflict monitors, and internal & external BBS systems. Will these materials be supplied by the county?

R6. Yes.

Q7. Cranes are shown to be $5,000,000 please define crane by tons, if possible, most of our work is using small boom trucks. The 5 million is more than most other contracts we currently have

R7. Crane insurance is only needed on projects that you will be using a crane. If a crane is not used your COI would not need to include that coverage. IF it does include using a crane that insurance coverage is required.

Q8. Page 38 ATMS mark up for this portion of the demand contract is 10% all other portions are 7% is there a reason all portions are not marked up by a max of 10%

R8. This is due to the difference in the scale of the type of materials purchased.

Q9. According to the bid documents, how does the insurance coverage requirements work? Example we work off of

Purchase Orders, are the thresholds for each occurrence and aggregate limit or for each purchase order, our largest PO is usually no more than 450k, usually less.

R9. Gwinnett County will require all vendors to have a COI for the signed contract at the $1,000,000.00 value. However, if a project exceeds that amount an additional COI will be required prior to working starting.

Q10. In the “Invitation to Bid” pdf, if we are not bidding on the “Traffic Signal Installations and Maintenance (Sections 1-

4), are pages 22-26 and pages 32-37 required to be filled out?

R10. No, but mark each page with N/A.

Q11. On the virtual pre-bid call, reimbursement for bonds was discussed as being a separate line item passed through at cost plus rather than being built into the unit pricing, what is the final decision regarding the bonds?

R11. A separate line item will not be added for this.

Q12. If bonds are decided to be passed through at cost plus separately, would it be beneficial to Gwinnett County to have bidders list their bonding rates to show the cost to be incurred by Gwinnett County?

R12. The answer to Question 11 makes this question not applicable.

Q13. Section 5 of the Bid does not have an hourly labor and equipment page to be completed. Will there be an hourly labor and equipment page added for it?

R13. Please see the attached updated Bid Tab for Section 5.

Q14. Will the department provide a line item for 3M loop sealant and one for Q-seal?

R14. No.

FAILURE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ADDENDUM MAY RESULT IN REJECTION OF YOUR BID.
