(2) years for the warranty to extend it to ten (10) years and will consider the additional warranty period as an enhancement to the contract. 15. Question: Could you please advise how many copies need to be submitted along with the original bid for the above referenced RFP. Answer: Refer to Section 5. 16. Question: Will the City obtain the South Water Management and DERM permits? Answer: No, this is a turnkey project. The successful bidder is responsible to obtain and pay for any and all permits. 17. Question: Under page 19 of the RFP article 3.3.3 “SCHEDULE OF WORK”, it states the parks will be available from June 17, 2012 through August 16, 2012. Is this the allowed time frame (2 months) to complete the work and liquidated damages based on this? Answer: Liquidated damages will be based upon any calendar days beyond August 16, 2013 that the fields are not complete and ready to be placed in service. 18. Question: The attached page 25 from the RFP has a note at the bottom stating “Failure to sign page 27 of Section 4 Bid Submittal will render your bid non‐responsive”. Section 4 is Evaluation Process, Bid Submittal is Section 6, and page 28 seems to be the correct page. Please clarify. Answer: All forms requiring signature must be included in your response. 19. Question: The bid bond form in the specs; the top of the bid bond says “State of Florida, County of XXXXX.” Since my company is located in Texas, can I just cross this part out and write “State of Texas, County of Travis…”? Answer: The bonding company must be licensed to conduct work in the State of Florida. 20. Question: We are requesting a change or clarification for the warranty period that the “10 year” period is for the material. The artificial turf typically comes with such a guarantee but 10 years on “labor” is not industry standard and most sureties will not issue bonds for a period longer than one year. Answer: An eight (8) year warranty is the minimum that will be considered responsive to the RFP. Section 4 addresses the basis by which submittals will be evaluated. The City prefers the additional two (2) years for the warranty to extend it to ten (10) years and will consider the additional warranty period as an enhancement to the contract. 21. Question: The RFP states that the fiber will be a polyethylene monofilament and a polyethylene texturized blend. We are not sure if the preference is for a Monofilament only or a Monofilament and Slit Film combination fiber. Can you tell us if there is a preference? We were not familiar with the polyethylene texturized blend language. Answer: Bidders need to be responsive to the specifications of the RFP. Refer to Sections 2.14 for alternate materials.
