RFQ_25-05._Addenda_1.pdf

This document is Addendum #1 for RFQ 25-05, issued by the Putnam County Procurement Department in Palatka, Florida, addressing Continuing Professional Services. The addendum provides responses to pre-bid meeting questions and clarifies key aspects of the request for qualifications. The RFQ seeks professional services firms to provide comprehensive services across multiple disciplines, including engineering, environmental, geotechnical, surveying, construction engineering inspection, and appraisal services. Firms are permitted to submit responses for multiple disciplines within a single RFQ response, and prime firms may also be included as sub-contractors on other submissions.

The addendum highlights several important points about the procurement process, including that DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) participation will not be considered in grading RFQ responses, though for FDOT projects, DBE may be considered depending on the grant type. Putnam County will issue the Capital Plan with this addendum, and prequalification may be required for FDOT projects but is not mandatory for county projects. The document also notes that environmental-focused projects will typically involve wetland impacts and mitigation, and occasionally may require environmental site assessments or cleanup at previously impacted sites. The procurement allows for potential modification of the indemnification clause in the RFQ documents, and instructs bidders to include all forms even if there is redundancy or overlap.
