Questions & Responses

The following are the questions received and the corresponding responses. These items are not presented in any particular order. These questions, responses, and notes will be part of this Addendum No. 1.

1. The Bid Documents reference 200 homes. Please confirm whether the exact number is known?

RESPONSE: The 200 connections listed in the bid document is an estimated quantity for bidding purposes, as the

County cannot guarantee an exact number of eligible connections.

It is our intention to have a final number of signoffs before executing the agreement with the awarded contractor;

however, not all of these homes may ultimately qualify for connection. For example, some homes may have electrical capacity issues that prevent installation of a grinder pump under this program, while others may have unique site conditions that make them ineligible. In addition, there are cases where a property owner has signed up but does not yet have an existing structure on the property, which would prevent us from proceeding with any plumbing connections at this time.

Any additions or reductions to the total number of connections after the contract is carried out will be handled through a change order. The selected Contractor will be required to honor the pricing specified in their original bid.

2. What is the bond requirement?

RESPONSE: There is no Bid Bond required for this project, but the awarded Contractor will be required to furnish a

Performance Bond and a Payment Bond, each equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the contract price, in the form/format included in the Bidding Documents, as set forth in the Instructions to Bidders.

These bonds are required only after Notice of Award to the selected Contractor and should not be submitted with the bid. Refer to the Instructions to Bidders, Section 11 and the General Conditions, Article 58, for additional details regarding the Performance Bond and Payment Bond requirements.

All costs associated with obtaining the Performance Bond, Payment Bond and overhead shall be borne by the selected

Contractor.

3. Will the Contractor need to coordinate with the property owner?

RESPONSE: Yes. The County Inspector will schedule a drive by with the selected Contractor once the agreement is signed and can make introductions where possible. The County Inspector can also support on number of initial site assessments/visit to the property owner to assist with introductions and provide clarification on the project, if needed.

Ongoing scheduling, day-to-day work timing, and coordination shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.

Other useful highlights:

4. Brunswick County Public Utilities (BCPU) clarified that all County-related fees, including County permitting fees, will be waived for the grant. The plumbing contractor will still be responsible for submitting the permit applications and obtaining all required approvals for the work.

5. Project Map is available below. Full list of addresses will be provided to the selected Contractor.
