6. Question regarding form submission:

Q1: We will be submitting a bid on 10/8/26 for the Metrowest Consortium (MAPC) for both Roadway Management (Item 1) and Sidewalk Construction (Item 14).

Do you want us to submit one bid form for both, or two separate bids? Also, do you need two different bid bonds, or one to cover both?

A1: If a bidder submits bids for two work items such as Item 1 (Roadway Management) and Item 14 (Sidewalk Construction, Reconstruction, & Resurfacing), they should be treated as separate bids, since they will be awarded separately. The IFB requires separate bid bonds for each work item being bid on.

When responding via CommBUYS, if a vendor is bidding on two separate items (i.e. 1 & 14), they may submit a single bid response in CommBUYS by uploading both bid packages in the same response, but all documents should be separated and labelled appropriately with the item they are bidding on. Complete bid responses should be provided for both work items

Q2: One question I have is under roadway maintenance (Roadway Management) there is some pavement marking items… Do we bid on those or just what is under item 6 –

Pavement markings?

No, unless the bidder has the capacity to provide services beyond pavement markings which would be required for award of item 1. Only bidding the pavement marking line items in item 1 would not result in award. Vendors would also need to be prequalified in a class of work beyond pavement markings (see item 1 of this addenda).
