Bidder Inquiry Received on 1-30-2023 for Solicitation W9128F23Q0012.pdf

The following questions were received on 1/30/2023 for Solicitation W9128F23Q0012, East Totten Trail Campground Electrical Upgrades.

Q. On Options 1 & 2 are these options to include connections to the old pedestal?

A. Options 1 & 2 include demo of the old pedestals, along with installation of new electrical cabling to the indicated campsites. So the new cables will not be connected to the old pedestals. Options 3, 4, and 5 would include the connection of these new cables, to the new GFE pedestals that would be installed as part of Options 3, 4, and 5. If Options 1 & 2 are awarded, but not Options 3, 4, and 5, the contractor would install the new cables, leaving sufficient length in the vicinity of each pedestal location so that future connection can be made to the new pedestal.

Q. Are these options going to be awarded before work starts and to be additional to the base bid. If not should options include general conditions and mobilization cost? If priced as separate jobs options will be significantly more than if awarded with the base bids scope of work.

A. The decision to award options or not will be made upon receipt of bids, before work starts.

Q. Are the street light terminations to be included in base bid or option 3? It currently doesn’t specify where to include this.

A. Street light terminations are to be included in the base bid.
