Open Discussion

Q1. Is escalation allowed for rates upon each renewal? It was mentioned 6 firms will be awarded but 5.2.1 states 5 firms.

A1. I know in the past we have allowed rate increases at time of renewal. The district reserves the right to increase the pool of vendors.

Q2. Is there an expected contract value?

A2. No, the value of each contract will be based on the services needed.

Q3. Section 4.3.2.1. notes that “Firms and sub consultants must be property licensed. Provide copy of current

Georgia Professional Registration for Geotechnical, Environmental and Construction Material Testing.”

Can you clarify if this refers to PEs and PGs or are you looking for any other specific licensure for the team?

A3. Yes. Professional Licenses are required.

Q4. Would Questions not answered here but submitted via chat need to be resubmitted formally?

A4. Yes, any questions that you asked here that were not answered must be submitted to the bid questions mailbox at dcsd-op- bidquestion@dekalbschoolsga.org so that we can get a definitive answer to the entire group.
