Questions & Answers:
Q1. NOTE on Page 11: The City of Sunny Isles, Contract Number and Title must be on each Certificate of
Insurance (COI). The City of Sunny Isles Beach must be shown as additional insured. Our insurance
company doesn’t typically issue COIs containing this specific information until contract negotiations.
Would the City accept a letter from our insurance company stating that our firm has the ability to comply
100% with your specific request or a sample insurance certificate at this time in lieu of the requirement
stated above?
If so, we would provide a COI that names the City as additional insured and includes The City of Sunny
Isles, Contract Number and Title during contract negotiations.
A1. Proof of insurance will suffice prior to contract award.
Q2. Page 19, 2nd paragraph: Firm shall be pre-qualified with FDOT in the following classes of work by
the by the time the agreement
is fully executed:
Work Group 3. Highway Design Roadway
Work Group 4. Highway Design – Bridges
Work Group 5. Bridge Inspection
Work Group 6. Traffic Engineering & Operations Studies
Work Group 7. Traffic Operations Design
Work Group 8. Surveying & Mapping
Work Group 9. Soil Exploration, Material Testing and Foundations
Work Group 14. Architect
Work Group 15. Landscape Architect
Does the prime “firm” have to be prequalified in ALL work groups themselves?
Or can the proposed “team” cover ALL of these work groups?
A2. The answer is no the prime firm does not need to be prequalified in all work groups themselves.
Sub-consultants can cover work groups however, based on the FHWA 1273 form, the prime contractor
shall perform with its own organization contract work amounting to not less than 30 percent (or a
greater percentage if specified elsewhere in the contract) of the total original contract price.
Q3. Calvin, Giordano & Associates asked at the RFQ conference if they may submit a response to the
RFQ, although they prepared the 174th Street Pedestrian Overpass Planning and feasibility studies that
was attached to the RFQ.
A3. Yes, Calvin, Giordano & Associates is permitted to submit a sealed response to the RFQ for review.
Q4. Will the due date of December 20 be changed?
A4. The RFQ opening has been extended to Monday, January 13, 2020.
Q5. On page 12 of the RFQ it specifies that “The sub-consultant is subject to the same contractual
conditions as is the Respondent”, we understand under the contractual conditions but not on the $10
million dollar Professional Liability Insurance requirement, correct?
Do sub-consultants also have to carry insurance?
A5. It has been confirmed that only the awarded firm has to maintain insurance. The City is not in
privity of contract with any sub-consultant. If an issue arises, the City will look to the Consultant’s
insurance.
Addition to Section 2.9:
The insurance policy must remain active from the time of contract award, to 5 years after
project completion.
