and effect as the original Quote and contract documents, and Quotes to be submitted on the specified date shall conform

2026). The new Nationwide Permit will be provided to the Awarded Contractor prior to construction.
Q3: 55-day Notice to Proceed, and the overage fee: After making some calls, most sources (all that we've
found so far) have a 2-3 month wait for materials required, both shells and bags. The bag delay comes
from the company named as a recommendation in the bid. Is the start date flexible? 55 days is more
than enough for us to do the install, but we're nervous about waiting for the proper quantity/quality
materials.
A3: The County is aware of the potential delays related to the materials. The date for Notice of Proceed will
be negotiated between the County and the Awarded Contractor at the pre-construction meeting, based
upon the timeline to obtain the materials.

A4: Turbidity curtains must be installed around the active work area in accordance with the specifications
and Permits. The turbidity curtains maybe repositioned as the active work area progresses.
