Good morning,
Do you anticipate answering questions as they are submitted or will all questions be answered as one time after the question deadline? Also, can you please confirm the deadline for submitting questions is April 22, 2025 at 2:00 PM? Thanks |
4/18/2025 10:32:35 AM | We will answer as time allows during normal office hours. Note that the City is on a 4 day work week Monday - Thursday with limited staffing on Fridays. | 4/21/2025 10:04:09 AM |
| Can you please clarify the scope of work for this RFP? On page 01110-1 it states, "The Project consists of the clearing and grubbing of the site, preparation of a final site remediation and cleanup plan, removal and proper disposal of contaminated soils in accordance with the final cleanup and remediation plan, and grading of the site to leave in a pad ready state in accordance with the “Construction Plans for the City of Sanford Rosmond Property” dated October 13, 2023. Contractor shall be responsible for managing all EPA requirements for monitoring, reporting, and close-out process." However, those plans also include a lot of work that was not discussed at the site visit on April 10th such as filling the 31,0003 SF wetland conservation area, installing PVC sewer line, construction of a pond, removal of the existing partially buried concrete slab. | 4/18/2025 10:53:31 AM | The RFP shall be limited to only address the remediation excavation area. The balance of the site work and grading will be done under a different contract. The RFP will require the remediation area to be brought back to grade consistent with the Construction Plans after excavation. The wetlands and balance of the site (pond area, existing slab etc.) shall remain is it's current condition. | 4/21/2025 10:04:53 AM |
| The excavation area shown on Figure C1.0 Tree Removal Demolition & Erosion Control Plan (which was also shown/referenced during the site visit) don`t match the excavation areas shown on page 384 of the PDF (Figure 3 - Proposed Source Removal). Please confirm the excavation area for this RFP is the area depicted on C1.0. Thanks! | 4/18/2025 10:56:48 AM | Figure 3 of the SCS Engineers report is the latest, most accurate depiction of the brownfield and would represent the area to be excavated . Figure C-1 of the site plan is from an earlier (2019) assessment of the location by WCPG | 4/21/2025 10:05:33 AM |

At the site visit, it was mentioned that there was no bond requirement for this job, however, there is a Bid Bond From in the RFP (00420-1, 00420-2) and it is mentioned in the Notice of Award Form. There is also a Performance Bond Form (00605-1 through 00605-04) and Payment Bond form (00610-1 through 00610-3). Can you please confirm which bond, if any will be required?
Thanks! |

| Thanks for your very prompt responses. Since there is a bonding requirement, can you provide a draft contract with the defined scope of work for only the work to be addressed in this RFP? Our bonding company will ask us for this information. | 4/21/2025 4:47:44 PM | We are working on revisions to the Bid Documents to address several items. We should have them posted by Thursday afternoon. | 4/22/2025 9:46:23 AM |

Good Afternoon,
Could you answer one additional question? Environmental Remediation is a not a licensable trade in Florida, we have conducted numerous cleanups and inquired several times about a GC license regarding this work and the state does not issue GC licenses for this type work. Can this requirement be removed from this bid opportunity since the work is not covered as a licensable trade in FL? Thank you! |

We currently have an NC GC license for excavation and grading (closest thing to environmental remediation). Florida has reciprocity with NC for GC licenses, however, they do not have a similar licensable trade. The closest thing (and its not close) is a utilities license, which is not what we do or what this scope is requiring. All of our past remediation work in FL has not been a licensable trade, and a GC license was not required. Based on this information, we understand that the work to be performed under this scope is not a licensable trade in FL. Can you confirm and if you agree, can the FL GC license requirement be removed from the RFP?

Would you consider conducting an additional site walk for this project? If that’s not possible, would it be permissible for us to visit the site independently to better understand the conditions?

| Sorry to ask this question again, but Addendum indicates the bid due date is May 13, 20205 at 2:00 P.M. Local Time, which conflicts with the answer to a question provided on 4/30 which indicated questions are due on the 13th and the bid is due on the 22nd. Please confirm/clarify. Thanks. | 5/2/2025 5:07:49 PM | The May 13 deadline is for questions and answers. May 22 is the due date for the solicitaion. | 5/5/2025 6:55:17 AM |
