ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

Q14: Volume II, Factor 1, Sub Factor 1 Relevant Experience: Is there a required Form we should use to list our relevant completed projects?

Q15: Volume II, Factor 2 Past Performance: We want to confirm that the Past Performance Questionnaire is to be completed solely by us and not the Client.

A15: Either the offeror or the client can fill out the PPQ.

Q16: Per the pre-bid site walk through at the Botzum Trailhead parking lot, it was mentioned that the entire lot is to be resurfaced once repairs have been made. The quantity of 2” asphalt surfacing on the drawing and the bid form call for 2,400 square yards of surface area to be paved. The entire asphalt lot at Botzum measures approximately 8,000 square yards. Please advise.

A16: This is why it is very important for the contractor to measure and verify. We have reviewed the numbers and we come up with 8400 square yards and the original number was a typo. There is also the same typo in SOW pg. 9 section 01010 b. e. and this should also be 8400 sq yd.

Q17: The drawing for the Bike and Trailhead parking lot on Boston Mills road illustrates paving under and up to the kiosk. Shall bidders consider this as a widening? Or pave up to existing edge of asphalt with no widening?

A17: Drawing is what should be bid. We would like paving around the kiosk as shown on the map.
