Question 3:

Ref: Base Cost Indices Solicitation paragraphs 12.6.2 BCCI & 12.6.4 BMCAMI, both define the start of the base indices as “the month (Or average of previous 12 month period) prior to the effective date of the base year”. Given a solicitation bid date of 21 Aug 2023, and to ensure this information is available to potential bidders, can we define that base start month as August of 2023 for the BCCI, and Sept 2022 to Aug 2023 for the

BMCAMI?

Answer 3: The BCCI will be the August CCI. The BMCAMI will be SEP 2022 – AUG 2023

Question 4:

Ref: Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) for Chip Seal Line Items (89, 90 & 91) The Technical Exhibit(s) list the EPA for the line items listed above as CCI. Given all three items will require the use of asphalt materials, will the government consider changing the EPA for these three items to MCAMI?

Question 5:

Ref: The Cover Material Line Items 442, 443 & 444

The line items listed above are for material (Only)? Is it the government’s intent to have us quote just the delivery of these materials? As such requiring their placement by DPW or others? These items are the materials required by the three Chip Seal line items 89, 90 & 91. Are line items 442 thru 444 a possible duplication of line items 89 thru 91?

Answer 5: Lines 442-444 are the materials for lines 89-91. Pricing for lines 89-91 should NOT include material prices for lines 442-444.

Answer 7: Will add separate line item for profilograph.
