No. If you need to block off for construction, the City can work with you to divert traffic to the other side of the driveway, but the Post Office must remain open. 19. The purpose of this meeting is to look for a prime contractor? Yes. The purpose of this meeting is to explain and to Held questions related to the project, and the City wants this project built already. The City wants one contractor to handle the project, they don't want to enter into numerous contracts with different people, they want one person responsihle. 20. Is that a precast for the new eyebrow out of the roof? No. That is cast in place, reinforced concrete. The drawings have all that information. The bench has some precast items to it. 21. In the bid form, the general conditions, insurance, do we spread along the lines or do we break them out? By that format, you will have to spread them out. One concern is unbalanced hids, and so make sure you are comfortahle on every single line item to stand on its own. 22. What is the criteria in selecting a bid? There is specific language in the hid docs that the City will choose the best value bid, and so we have to lool{ at more than just the hottom line. Bid it according to the form, don't add line items or bids of your own on the form. Everything that has heen included in this bid has gone back and forth with the lawyers, the City, and Cuhellis, and we are not going to be changing it unless there is any reason that we have overlooked. Through all our years of experience this document includes all of the procedures and requirements that are asked of the contractor and of the bids, we are not going to change it around to accommodate any particular request from one contractor for this particular project that has ~l concern or a different preference on how to prepare their own bid. We want everyone to comply with the way th~lt the hid documents are asked to be laid out. We al'e !lot going to issue an addendum at this point changing anything around given the fact that a lot of time and experience was already put into the way the bid docs are laid out. 23. Is there a specific format for our bid response documents. Make sure your bids arc bound on the side like we did the bid docs, don't include notebooks.
