About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers Addendum #1 issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for RFQ1 FAAA FEEA2015000000000001 concerning the Summitville Mine Superfund Site Water Treatment Facility HDS Pilot Testing and Treatment Modification project. The solicitation seeks an engineering firm to conduct hydrated sulfide (HDS) pilot testing and provide treatment system modification recommendations to CDPHE. The selected firm will be responsible for coordinating onsite work within the facility's April through October operating season, with exact dates determined by the facility operator and HMWMD Project Manager. Subcontracting decisions regarding geotechnical engineering or construction materials testing services remain at the discretion of the prime contractor, and any eventual construction or related services will be procured through separate future solicitations. Reference materials including the Previous HDS Pilot Study Report (November 26, 2002), existing process data, and the 2013 Operating Season Process Report (May 15, 2014) are available for review at the HMWMD Records Center in Denver, with appointments required.
Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation goals are established at 6.1% and 6.6% respectively, based on the total contract value awarded to the prime contractor. A single entity meeting both MBE and WBE criteria may satisfy combined participation goals totaling 12.7%. The selected firm must comply with all safety requirements established by the facility operator, including potential buddy system requirements and personnel restrictions for onsite access. Firms seeking clarification on potential conflicts of interest may request a determination from CDPHE prior to proposal submission. A sample Minority/Women Business Enterprise Participation Report is provided as Attachment 1 to this addendum.

Addendum #1
SOLICITATION: (RFQ1) FAAA FEEA2015000000000001
SOLICITATION: Summitville Mine Superfund Site Water Treatment
Facility HDS Pilot Testing and Treatment Modification
Vendor Question #1.
If required, we would like to provide geotechnical engineering and/or construction materials testing for this project. Will this project require our services such as those listed above? If our services are required, will they fall under Prime contractor or will these services be advertised for separately in the future?
CDPHE Answer #1.
This solicitation is for the selection of an engineering firm to conduct HDS pilot testing and to make treatment system modification recommendations to CDPHE, per the RFQ. The exact nature and quantity of subcontracting for this project will be the judgment of the selected engineering firm. This is NOT a solicitation for Construction. Services for eventual construction, or related services, will be procured as needed under a separate solicitation.
Vendor Question #2.
With regard to minority/women business enterprise participation reports, are the 6.1% minority business enterprise and 6.6% women business enterprise goals based on the anticipated subcontracted dollar amount of the prime contractor or the total contract value awarded to the prime contractor?
CDPHE Answer #2.
The total contract value.
Vendor Question #3.
Can this participate goal be met by a single business entity that is both MBE and WBE? If so, is the participation goal 6.6% or is it 12.7%?
CDPHE Answer #3.
Yes. 12.7%
Vendor Question #4.
Could you please provide us with a sample Minority/Women Business Enterprise Participation Report?
CDPHE Answer #4.
This report is attached to this Addendum as Attachment 1

To help us confirm we have screened for conflicts, can you provide the interested parties and stakeholders?
