About this file

This document is Addendum No. 1 for Request for Qualifications (RFQ2024-01) issued by the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) for a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) project involving the Ridenbaugh Canal Diversion Headworks Modernization Project located near Boise, Idaho. The Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) is due by 3:00 p.m. on November 6th, 2024, with submissions accepted at the district's headquarters. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for October 16th, requiring pre-registration by email by October 10th. The owner is considering potential bidder interviews between November 18-20, 2024, though final interview determination is pending.

The addendum clarifies several key points about the RFQ, including project experience guidelines that allow inclusion of projects beyond the 8-year evaluation window, instructions for handling confidential financial statements, and confirmation that comments on the draft contract will not impact proposal evaluations. The document provides additional guidance on SOQ format, specifically directing bidders to place certain evaluation criteria like self-performance abilities and project approach in specific sections of their submission. An Excel spreadsheet template for pricing information was also made available to assist bidders in developing their proposals, with instructions to follow the template closely.

RFQ 2
10/01/2024
RSCI
Relevant experience is limited to projects completed within the past 8 years; would you consider allowing projects completed within the past 10 years?
The SOQ does not place a timeline on the projects that can be used to describe the company’s experience or the experience of the staff. Please note any relevant project experience of key staff even if they were not employed at the time of work.

I.A.1 and 2 do place an 8 Year limitation for evaluation purposes. The result, if you have project experience that is older than 8 years it can be included in the proposal but for evaluation purposes I.A.1 and 2 there is an 8-year limitation as we want to ensure the project experience is relevant and current.
