Indian River County Purchasing Division 1800 27th Street Vero Beach, FL 32960 Phone (772) 226-1416 Page 1 of 2 ADDENDUM NO. 1 Date: March 19, 2019 Project Name: WABASSO CAUSEWAY FISHING PIER DEMOLITION PROJECT (IRC -1712) Bid Number: 2019035 Bid Opening Date: Wednesday, March 28, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. This addendum is released to provide clarification and plans update. All information provided herein is hereby incorporated into the bid documents. Q: The instructions state that the "bidder must have at least five years' experience in the construction of similar projects of this size and larger". For the purpose of meeting this requirement, will the experience of the bidder's principals, management, and supervisory staff be considered? In other words, if the firm does not meet this requirement but its staff does, will the bidder be qualified? A: The Experience of the bidder's principals, management and supervisory staff will be considered to meet this requirement as long as that staff is assigned and responsible for direct oversight of the project activities. This experience and the proposed staff's associated experience must be clearly identified as part of the submitted bid package. Q: The instructions state that the "bidder must have successfully constructed, as prime CONTRACTOR, at least three projects similar in scope to this project". Can this be amended to state "the bidder and/or its subcontractors must have..."? Also, will the County consider striking "as prime contractor" from this requirement? The experience is the same regardless of the firm's role in the overall project and it is likely that all (or most) of the bidders will be using subcontractors for portions of the work. Some firms may have not been the prime on similar projects but are nonetheless qualified. A: Due to the unique nature of the scope of work set forth in this Contract, requiring both bridge demolition and offshore reef deployment, the County is amenable to amending the bid requirements to reflect "the bidder and/or its subcontractors must have" and replacing the 'Prime Contractor' term with 'Contractor Team'. Q: At the prebid, it was stated that a survey would be provided. Will this survey include both the project site and the travel route shown in the bid documents? Bidders need this information ASAP in order to determine whether the material has to be trucked away from the site. If the material has to be trucked, can the County property on Wabasso Island Lane be available for use?
