Additional Information and/or Questions on this RFP

QUESTIONS for RFP# EC-03-2020-09:

  1. I have an electrician asking for clarification on what LCP2 is. We do not see it on the drawings?
    — LCP2 is the electrical panel that contains the power components: VFDs, contactors, power distribution.
  2. On the electrical requirement document you sent, it says LCP1 is 20A, should that say 200?
    — LCP1 has a 240V / 1PH / 60Hz breaker inside. We suggest that the electrician you will be hiring does a coordination study to protect the feed as necessary from his perspective. (The breaker above the LCP1 might be a little bit higher than 20A, but not that much.) The 200A amps that you are referring to probably corresponds to 300A for LCP2. This should be clearer when reading the attached drawing.

Additional Information and/or Questions on this RFP

QUESTIONS 1:

  • Is there a specification book/ manual?
    — Yes, please see attached project manual.
  • Is the bridge part of the proposal? There are some places on the drawing that indicate by others, however there is a lot of dwg detail and info about the bridge that does not. If the bridge is not to be included, is it being bid separately, and when? We could complete the entire project.
    — No, the bridge superstructure is not part of the proposal at this time. The bridge superstructure materials will be purchased by Emmet County and constructed by county personnel.
  • I have the RFP EC-11-2019-06 form pages 1-6 with section 00 4243 pages 1 and 2 from MITN. There is a line item for cofferdam, however nothing is shown on the plan. Is this totally at the contractor’s discretion?
    — Yes, the cofferdam for both abutments shall be constructed per the contractor’s discretion and in accordance with EGLE permit (included in Appendix B of the project manual). Please refer to the “Unit Prices” section for further elaboration on pay items.
  • If there is no estimate is there a budget set aside for the project and how is it being funded?
    — $65,000 to $70,000. The project is being funded by a MDNR Land and Water Conservation grant.
  • Are we to apply for any type of DEQ, Bldg, soil erosion, drain commission, or other entity state/county permits? and if so are we to pay for those permits?
    — The EGLE permit has been obtained. All other required permits shall be secured and paid for by the contractor.
  • Does this creek run dry in the summer?
    — No, the creek does not run dry in the summer.

QUESTIONS 2:

  • On Proposal Section 00 4243, Item number 8, Concrete Sidewalk 4”, the quantity of 2885 Sft appears to be much higher than what is indicated on the plans. Please check the quantity and revise or advise how to proceed with item.
    — There is approximately 1,196 sft of sidewalk on the northwest side of the bridge, and 1,689 sft of sidewalk on the southeast side of the bridge for a total of 2,885 sft. This quantity will be field measured upon completion.
  • On Proposal Section 00 4243, Item number 10, Slope Restoration, the quantity of 3000 Syd appears to be high even after adjusting for the area shown on page C3.0. However I have not seen exactly what “disturbed by others” means. Could you elaborate on what has occurred in this area? What areas are included in this line item?
    — The quantity of restoration indicated in the proposal (3,000 syds) is an estimated quantity intended to be paid for at the completion of the project. Contractor shall not exceed this quantity of disturbance/restoration.
  • Is electricity available on site for our use?
    — There is electricity available at the Rec Hall, located near the proposed bridge location. To ensure there is adequate power, what will the electrical service be needed for?
  • The dimensions indicated on Wing Wall section 1, Sheet S4.0 conflict with dimensions shown on Bridge Abutment Elevation on Sheet S3.0 and Section on Sheet C5.0. Please address.
    — Please see attached drawing for the corrected wingwall dimensions.
  • Please provide a copy of the EGLE permit and the requirements of the permit.
    — A copy of the EGLE permit and permit requirements are included in the Camp Petosega Pedestrian Bridge Replacement Project Manual (attached PDF).
  • I requested the project manual, however the drawings were sent. I currently have drawing pages T1.0, C1.0, C2.0, C3.0, C4.0, C5.0, S1.0, S2.0, S3.0, and S4.0. I also have RFP EC-11-2019-06 pages 1-6, Certification to submit and hold bid valid for 6 months, and Section 00 4243 Proposal pages 1 and 2. Is there anything else? Please confirm or forward missing items.
    — A PDF copy of the Camp Petosega Pedestrian Bridge Project Manual is attached.
  • What permit will be required by Emmet County of the contractor?
    — We anticipate the Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control (SESC) permit will be the only permit needed to be secured by the Contractor (to be confirmed by Emmet County).

QUESTIONS 3:

  • The insurance requirements listed in the Request Therefor Proposal document, Item K on page 5 of 6 does not match the insurance requirements listed in SGC-5.04 Insurance Limits of Liability. Which list is the correct requirements and to be included in the bid?
    — The insurance requirements of SGC-5.04 Insurance Limits of Liability shall be included in the bid.
  • There are Davis Bacon wage scales included near the end of the project manual. There is no reference anywhere that I can find stating that prevailing wages or certified payroll audits are to be provided per the scales included. We have completed several projects with LWCF grants and this was not a requirement. Page 23, Item 11, in the MDNR Development Project Procedures states Davis-Bacon requirements are not required unless the project is on Federal lands. Is this project to be bid as prevailing wage and are certified payroll certificates required?
    — Since this project is not located on federal land, Davis-Bacon wage rates are not required. The requirements of the LWCF grant state that a project needs to be both federally funded AND located on federal land for Davis Bacon wage rates to apply. We confirmed this with our grant coordinator. Certified payrolls are not required.

Additional Information and/or Questions on this RFP

• RFP# EC-08-2019-26 Container Recycling Line Plans (pdf)
• RFP# EC-08-2019-26 Container Recycling Line (image)QUESTIONS 1:

  1. At page 5, can you please clarify if the County will need a “Performance and Payment Bond” and a “Labor and Materials Bond”, or a “Performance Payment Bond” only? If a “Labor and Materials Bond” is needed, is it in the amount of 25% also?
    1. I’ve attached the Performance Bond and Payment Bond statutes. Both are required for public building / public words improvements where the contract will be more than $50,000.00. The Payment Bond is what you refer to as the Labor and Materials Bond. Both require a bond of at least 25% of the contract amount.
  2. At page 17, the material breakdown mentioned that the mixed plastic weight % includes the rigid plastic pulled from the pre-sort. Does the county can advise on the approximate ratio between mixed plastic from the pre-sort and mixed plastic from the container sorting conveyor?
    1. About 60% of the bulky materials come from pre-sort and 40% come from the light fraction sorting line.
  3. Please explain how liquidated damages will be worded in the contract.
    1. It’s not possible to give an easy answer as to how it will be worded. As noted in the RFP, “liquidated damages” language would be negotiated between the parties with the final language placed into the contract. Here are some summary statements about liquidated damages in the law books:
      Liquidated damages are those that the parties have agreed to in a binding, enforceable contract. Such damages are recoverable only if (1) they are spelled out in the contract, (2) the amount of actual damages is difficult to ascertain, and (3) the liquidated amount constitutes a reasonable estimate of actual damages and is not punitive. A liquidated damages clause must fix damages in advance and be for a sum certain. Under the common law, a liquidated damages provision must be reasonable in light of the anticipated or actual harm. Parties must consider the possible breaches and the harm resulting from those breaches when drafting a liquidated damages clause. Courts will not enforce a liquidated-damages clause if actual damages are readily ascertainable and the clause appears to impose a penalty for breach of contract.
      Here is sample liquidated-damages clause:
      Liquidated Damages. Because it is so difficult and inconvenient to try to establish the loss, if Seller breaches this agreement with respect to the condition of the assets, it shall pay to Buyer, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the sum of $[amount], which is the parties’ reasonable estimate of fair compensation for the foreseeable losses that might result from the breach.
  4. Who is responsible for the fire suppression system?
    1. There is no fire suppression system in the building.
  5. Please provide an as built drawing of the building and equipment.
    1. See *Portable Slope Bottom Bins Drawing and *Equipment Specification Drawings  ADDENDUM: See also: Emmet Rectangular Portable Container
  6. Can we provide a complete proposal without consulting our competitors?
    1. Yes, but you would need to label it alternate bid.
