BIDDER QUESTIONS

1. Question: On Phase 1 DHC was named in the specification. I would like to officially request to have DHC be added to the acceptable manufacturers.

Answer: LBUD intends to replace the Phase 2 valves and actuators in kind with those used in the Phase 1. Thus, DHC cannot be added to the list of acceptable manufacturers.

Please amend to the understood 10% bid bond and 100% labor and material bond.

Answer: The project requires a 10% Bid bond and 100% Labor and Material bond.

There is no performance bond requirement for this project. Refer to this Addendum for changes to the Supplementary General Conditions.

3. Question: I cannot tell if the valve flange bolts and nuts and the gaskets are required to be provided with the bid or if this is just for the extension bonnets. Can you confirm please?

Answer: As part of this bid, the gaskets, bolts, and nuts shall be provided with all valves and actuators including extension bonnets as required for installation.

4. Question: Is sales tax included in the bid items?

Answer: Yes, the bid items shall include sales tax, freight charges, and all applicable charges detailed in Section 01 22 00 – Unit Prices of the Specifications. Please note, effective April 1, 2025, the sales tax in the City of Long Beach has increased to 10.5%.

5. Question: Please confirm the 5 Rotork actuators for existing valves are requested to be installed on the valves. Is there a line item cost for this task and can you confirm it has to be performed by an authorized Rotork agent (as this affects the possible 5 year warranty).

Answer: Yes, the actuators in Bid Item 6 shall be installed on existing valves under this bid item. The installation must be performed by Rotork, unless authorized in writing by LBUD during the project.
