ADDENDUM #1

Answers to request for clarification include the following:
Item 1-3 Question: Are the County dump fees reimbursed at cost as pass through items, and not subject to CPI
escalation limits?
Answer: Correct. Please see Item 1-1.
Item 1-4 Question: Can you confirm pricing assumptions used for "on call" services will not be treated as
guaranteed volumes?
Answer: Please refer to Section 1.19 Estimated Contract Quantities.
Item 1-5 Question: Will written notice and an opportunity to cure will be provided during the 90-day
acceptance period?
Answer: Contractor will be provided written notice to cure defects or deficiencies identified during
the initial trial acceptance period.
Item 1-6 Question: Can you clarify payment treatment for services performed and mobilization costs if the
contract is terminated for convenience?
Answer: Please refer to Attachment F - General Conditions and Instructions. The performance of the
work or services under a contract as a result of this solicitation may be terminated in whole
or in part, whenever the President of Montgomery College shall deem that termination is in
the best interest of the College. Such determination shall be at the sole discretion of the
President. In such event, the College shall be liable only for payment in accordance with the
payment provisions of the contract for work or services performed or furnished prior to the
effective date of termination. Termination hereunder shall become effective by delivery to
Contractor of written notice of termination upon which date the termination shall become
effective.
Item 1-7 Question: Is the MAPT participation optional, and may pricing be renegotiated for materially different
agencies?
Answer: MAPT Cooperative Rider Clause is optional. It allows for negotiation, particularly regarding
local requirements. While the base contract terms apply, participating entities may
negotiate additional terms specific to their needs upon mutual agreement, and significant
changes in contract volume can trigger further pricing negotiations.
Item 1-8 Question: What are the Expectations for preventative maintenance?
Answer: Please use a separate sheet with your firm's proposed maintenance plan/scope to the price
proposal form and fill out the monthly maintenance fee for college's consideration.
Item 1-9 Question: Are you open to alternative service proposals for potential efficiencies and cost savings?
