DDENDUM No. 1 4 5 6 7 8 Is there a reason an air knife is specified? Will H.P. water knife be allowed? Yes, the ir Knife is industry standard that minimizes damages to the underground utility being located. High Pressure water knife will NOT be allowed unless there is a good reason, then it MUST be approved by METRO Inspector prior to work being performed. There is some confusion on what is a SBE and what is a DBE Please clarify (currently used on other projects). n SBE is a Small Business Enterprise that may be certified through the City of Phoenix for work on locally funded projects. DBE is a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certified through the rizona Unified Certification Program, a federal certification program, for work on federally funded projects. The City of Phoenix and its sub-recipients (METRO) are currently in a state of Race Gender-Neutral Participation with no required DBE Goals. ll DBE participation must be achieved through Race- and gender-neutral measures. How will Utility Mapping be derived (i.e. survey of Bluestake)? Mapping provided by Offeror is what I refer to. utility base map will be provided by METRO for each pothole request, there may be some field adjustments based on Blue Stake Marking in the field. METRO Inspector will make the decision in the field. Will we have a chance to amend our exceptions to RFP and sample contract if declared as non-responsive because of exceptions? No, METRO will not accept revisions to the exceptions after receipt of proposals if deemed non-responsive. ll exceptions to the solicitation / contract / scope of services, etc. must be identified with the submittal of proposal by Offeror. See also Request for Proposal, paragraph 15 Modification of Proposal and paragraph 21.C.4 wherein it states; fter presentations and discussions, Offerors may be provided an opportunity to submit a Final Revised Proposal. Remember, Final Revised Proposals are optional to the gency. Will there be a need for surveying and CD work? Survey will be required, Contractor must provide horizontal and vertical control/data of the utility being potholed. CD files are required. RFP No. LRT-12-180-TPOT Page 2 of 3 ddendum No. 1
