QUESTION/ANSWER FROM 12/12/23

Lake Shelbyville Park Facilities Infrastructure Construction and Maintenance IDIQ 2nd Submission of Question & Answers

12/12/2023 Solicitation W912P923B0009

1. Regarding the Bonding Letter of Commitment Given on page 127/127 of Paragraph 1 which

Removes bond Guarantee and requires Bonding letter of Commitment is there any standard form of the letter that is required or Form. We have a letter of Commitment from our Bonding company for this Project and believe it meets all the requirements of the Paragraph. We just want to make sure it is acceptable or there are no other requirements.

The typical bondability letter contains the following information:

a.) How long the bond company has been providing bonding for the contractor, b.) The A.M. Best rating of the bond company (typically required to be “A” or above), c.) Confirms that the bond company is on the U.S. Treasury approved list, and that the bond company is licensed in the state where the work is to be performed, d.) Provides the single and aggregate bond limits that the bond company will support the contractor, e.) Includes contact information of the bond agent for follow-up if the owner or general contractor has additional questions.

2. We have seen huge boulders in IDIQ and we believe that they are being placed around the shore. Is there an access route to place boulders along the shore or should we use rafts to place them?

Decorative Boulder Supply and Placement requirements are indicated in Section 32 00 00. Rip Rap Placement requirements are indicated in Section 32 22 40. These two sections do no require floating plant for placement. If a need arises for utilization of floating plant to place stone it will be negotiated at the task order level utilizing applicable line items associated with Section 32 40 00. If access roads do not currently exist for placement of stone and are required, the requirements for installation and removal of access roads shall be identified in the task order scope of work and the contractor shall use applicable line items of the IDIQ and propose quantities required to install such access roads in accordance with the task order scope of work.

Line items and quantities proposed for such access road work would be evaluated and negotiated as required at the task order level.
