EXHIBIT 1 – CLARIFICATIONS, QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
CLARIFICATION: Proposal submittal deadline is March 28th, 2017 @ 3PM.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:
1. What is included in the page count? Is the certificate regarding lobbying included?
The page count excludes covers, dividers, and the certificate regarding lobbying.
2. The RFP states the proposals should be kept to 25 double-sided pages. We would like to
include several 11x17 graphics in the proposal. How do the larger size sheets count towards
the page limit?
Up to four 11 x 17 single sided sheets can be used and counted as 1 single sided
page. After that, each subsequent 11 x 17 sheet counts as 2 pages.
3. How far out and how detailed should the schedule get?
The purpose of the schedule is for the Professional team to demonstrate
understanding of the scope of work, critical path, and durations regarding the
various tasks, as well as experience and understanding of tested and innovative
approaches to meeting schedules. The schedule does not need to have detailed
construction tasks; however it should include broad milestones such as any
bridge repair/replacement and intersection improvements for the purpose of
demonstrating meeting construction deadlines. Professional teams can make
assumptions regarding delivery method and other unknowns; however these
assumptions should be stated.
4. How should the Professional demonstrate meeting DBE?
Teams should propose DBE firms with a large enough scope to meet the DBE as
the team understands the overall scope of work. The DBE was developed using an
estimated scope of work for different disciplines. As the contractual scope is
developed (after Professional selection), the DBE goal may be refined.
5. Does the DBE requirement apply to all work orders or just federally funded work orders?
The DBE requirement applies only to federally funded work orders, whether
funded partially with federal funds or funded completely with federal funds.
