RE: ADDENDUM #1, RFP NO. 20260423, WATER ELEVATION MONITORING SERVICES - ANNUAL
CONTRACT
Firms are hereby notified that this addendum shall be made a part of the above-named proposal and contract
documents. The following are issued to revise/clarify the proposal and contract documents, and these items shall
have the same force and effect as the original proposal and contract documents. Proposals to be submitted on
the above-specified date at Purchasing shall conform to the revisions and clarifications as listed herein.
ITEM # 1- QUESTIONS/ANSWERS
Q1: The scope appears to reference both providing monitoring equipment/services and selecting
or determining appropriate technologies. Can the County clarify whether they are looking to hire a
firm that will provide monitoring equipment/services directly, or a firm to evaluate available
technologies and determine the appropriate monitoring vendor?
A1: The County is seeking a Firm to provide the services described in the RFP; that is, to provide
equipment, surveying, installation, and maintenance services, as well as facilitate data management to
the extent described within the RFP.
Q2: If evaluation of technologies is part of the scope, can the County confirm whether proposing a
specific monitoring vendor or technology as part of the team is acceptable, or if respondents are
expected to remain independent in their approach?
A2: The selected Firm must supply the monitoring equipment (whether directly or via subcontractor)
appropriate to the environmental conditions present at each location, with the limitation that the
equipment be radar or ultrasonic/acoustic and meet the requirements listed in section RP-21. Note the
RFP explicitly states the Firm must be able to provide both radar and ultrasonic sensors, allowing for the
County and Firm to utilize whichever sensor technology is most suitable for each deployment location.
Q3: What is the anticipated budget for this contract?
A3: The budget is $500,000.
This addendum is binding and is to be considered as if contained within the original proposal documents of RFP
No. 20260423. Firms are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum on their proposal forms.
