marshal yet.
Q40: The project is made up of the Base Bid and the 2 Alternates. The Base Bid is made up of 2 Phases. Based on what has
happened in the past, is there any chance that when the bids come in, that the County will only be able to pay for Phase 1 of
the bid, and request to renegotiate the Base Bid price down to just one Phase, or does the Base Bid award definitely include
both Phase 1 and Phase 2.
The base bid has to include both Phase 1 and Phase 2. There is no chance of doing one and not the other. Alternate 1 is
optional. Alternate 2 is being funded by grant funds separately but within this project.
