This document is a Questions and Responses memorandum from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the Districtwide Contamination Assessment contract (Proposal ID: DOT-RFP-25-3009-CS). The document addresses three specific questions from potential proposers regarding fee exhibit details, vehicle mileage costs, and reimbursement for incidental expenses.
