We have prepared Addendum Notice Number One to the RFP to answer questions and provide changes and clarifications following the pre-bid meeting. Please note the receipt of this addendum on the Bid Form. Changes and/or clarifications are as follows: 1. Due to the amount of out-of-area contractors who attended the pre-bid meeting, the bid due date has been extended to Friday, August 28th at 1:00 PM. Bids should be submitted following the same requirements as provided in the specifications. Bids will be publicly opened in Room 100 of the County Building. 2. Refer to Instruction to Bidders Article 21 – Performance Bond and Payment Bond on page IB6 of the bid documents. REVISE this section to read as follows: “Contractor shall furnish a performance bond in an amount at least equal to the Contract Price, as security for the faithful performance of Contractor’s obligations under the Contract. This bond must remain in effect until one year after the date when final payment becomes due, except as provided otherwise by Laws or regulations, the terms of a prescribed bond form, or other provisions of the Contract. A payment bond is not required.” 3. The existing 6 foot wooden privacy fence along the east side of the property shall be replaced and extended north to span the length of the removed building to the tree line (see map attached). The exact length of fence will be determined following building demolition but is not estimated to exceed a length of 270 lineal feet. ---PAGE BREAK--- www.otsegocountymi.gov • [EMAIL REDACTED] Questions received and their answers are as follows: 1. Can contractors use the fire-hydrants adjacent to the building? What is the City of Gaylord’s water rates? a. The City of Gaylord will not permit the use of hydrants or the existing water service on the property for obtaining water. Water may be purchased at the City’s Water Fill Station located on S. Wisconsin Avenue at a rate of $0.025 per gallon. The fill station has 3-inch quick coupler. 2. Who is responsible for density testing? The contractor or owner? a. The owner will be responsible for density testing. 3. The plans say that the HMA will remain. However, Kevin while going over the plans mentioned that it would be removed. Is it being removed or is it staying? a. General Demolition Note #11 indicates HMA is to remain in place as is; Kevin was mistaken at the meeting. Verbal comments at the pre-bid meeting are not part of the official bid documents; Contractors shall refer to the bid documents and any addenda. 4. Can we get the exact location and/or pictures of the location of the water service and appurtenances along South Court Ave? a. The information provided in the plans is the best information available. Photos are not available. Demolition Keynote #3 includes all known information. 5. Are the trees along the east side being removed or are they staying? a. General Demolition Note #7 states: Protect all existing trees on the site – typical. Again, please note the receipt of this addendum on the Bid Form.
