. of documenting design quantities and measurements. The FOOT pay item numbers are referenced in the Bid Form and on the plans. In lieu of a lump sum unit price for the landscape items which is standard for FOOT, we are asking for a unit price breakdown. In the Bid Form, the Date Palms are broken down into three (3) items: 1) Furnish, deliver and unload the Date Palm on site; 2) Unit Price for Labor to install the Date Palm; and 3) an I8-Month Warranty, and so we would like a unit price for each of those items to equal one Date Palm. The Contract time is 180 calendar days and substantial completion is to be completed in 150 calendar days. This is a time sensitive project because we are tied to a grant that is being provided. by Miami-Dade County and FOOT for landscape work. You will note in the Specifications that we are asking the Contractor to complete the planting, irrigation and landscape lighting behind the retention areas on the north and south sides of 189th Street as well as the planting, irrigation and paver sidewalk work on the east side adjacent to the William Lehman Causeway ramp, which is away from the streetscape work, prior to the work along the street on the west side of Collins A venue. The existing cobra head lights are going to have to stay up until we are able to get the new lights installed at the same time because we cannot go without lighting on State Road AlA. The new decorative light poles will have a longer lead time than other items. The insurance requirements are as follows: General Liability, Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) Business Automobile Liability, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and Workman's Compo A Payment Bond and Performance Bond are required. Please note that the Technical Specs incorporated in this document are also supplemented by the FOOT Standard Specifications and the more stringent as defined by the Consultant shall apply. We have included Technical Specifications for the landscaping, architectural pavers, landscape lighting, irrigation and the existing tree relocation which is more stringent than the FOOT specifications. For all the roadway work, lighting work, etc. refer to the FOOT Standard Specifications. Ramon Tesone said that we are requesting two (2) additional light poles be delivered to the Miami- Dade County yard for maintenance purposes. The (2) additional light poles are not to be installed but the Contractor shall coordinate with Garfield Perry of Miami-Dade County for delivery of these two (2) additional decorative light poles. Ms. O'Leary Richards said there are several underground utilities within the right-of-way and are actually planting Date Palms on top of a fiber optic that is quite deep. We already have utility test holes that have been performed which are reflected in the Roadway Plans. She wanted them to be aware that there are utilities and that is one of the reasons why you have to wait to plant the Date Palms at the end of the Project on the west side because we have the existing street lights and underground in the same location as the proposed Date Palms. There is going to have to be coordination. QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS 1. So we have a variance to plant over the fiber optic, correct? We have been in contact with Fiber Optic. (A variance is not needed and we are planting above the fiber optic cable which is approximately 8' deep). SASQ961127 Page 3 of 7
