This is a time-sensitive question, and your prompt response is greatly appreciated. Thank you | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Would it be possible to have a week extension on the due date? With the upcoming holiday, many staff members will be on vacation. Any additional time would be appreciated. | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Can you please clarify if we are required to identify SDVOSBs as team members in our proposal? We have reviewed the list of SDVOSB owned businesses, and the services they offer do not appear to align with the tasks listed in the RFP. | Answered in Addendum 1 | | The RFP asks for a task-by-task schedule to accomplish the work detailed in the Scope of Work, including timelines and sequencing. Should this schedule address only Task Order #1, or should proposers provide a general on-call task-order delivery process and sample schedule? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Attachment C states that Work Item #1 – Project Management has a 12-month performance period, but the cost template labels Work Item 1 as “Project Mgt (six months).” Should proposers price project management for six months or twelve months? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Should proposers use the Task Order #1 pricing template exactly as shown, or may the column headings be revised to align with the three stated work items: Project Management; Corridor Visioning, Analysis, and PD-14 Goal Alignment; and Data Integration, Stakeholder Coordination, and Baseline Establishment? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Does this solicitation have a contract-specific DBE goal or required DBE participation documentation? The RFP responsiveness checklist references “DBE and/or SDVOSB documentation,” and Attachment D includes DBE requirements, but the RFP does not appear to state a specific DBE goal. | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Does the 5% SDVOSB preference apply only when the prime Offeror is a certified SDVOSB, or can it apply when a certified SDVOSB is included as a subconsultant? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Do graphical covers and section divider tabs count toward the 30-page limit? Does a table of contents count toward the 30-page limit? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Would CDOT consider granting a proposal deadline extension of 1-2 weeks? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | How many teams/firms does CDOT anticipate selecting for this on-call? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Is it allowable to submit a proposal as prime and also be featured as a subconsultant on other teams' proposals? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | RFP section: "4. Requested Proposal Format” (page 9, paragraph 2) The RFP notes that proposals should be no more than 30 pages, excluding appendices. Will cover pages, section dividers, the table of contents, and cover letter count against the 30-page limit? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Re: Page 8 – Section 4, Item A.3: This sub-section of our response regarding Understanding & Project Approach requests that the proposal “must address all elements of the project in a comprehensive, creative, simple and clearly communicated manner.” This content seems like it would be the same as what is requested in Section B: Overall Experience & Qualifications. Is it CDOT’s intention that Section A.3 be written as the response to just the Task Order #1 scope of work? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Re: Page 34 – Section 7, Item J: OFFEROR ACCEPTANCE OF SOLICITATION TERMS/OFFEROR PROPOSAL CONTENT: Where would we include in the proposal response, if we have any, requested revisions to terms and conditions? Would this be appropriate in the Optional Appendices under 4. Other Supporting Documentation? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Re: Page 35 – Section 7, Item P: SERVICE DISABLED VETERAN OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES (SDVOSB): If a firm is unable to find an SDVOSB partner, can you confirm that this is not a matter of disqualification but would only be a scoring impact? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Re: Page 13 of Attachment D regarding Disadvantaged Business Enterprise: Can you clarify what the DBE goal is for this contract? Are outreach efforts required to be documented in the response? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Re: Attachment D: Can you confirm that only the Federal Certification forms themselves (pages 19-21) need to be included in the response (as opposed to all 24 pages of the attachment that details all the federal clauses as well)? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Re: Attachment E: We have some clarifying questions regarding this form: o This might render other questions not-applicable. The table in the form is prefaced by “Independent Contractor Information” – should this form be filled out by formally organized entities likes corporations or should corporate entities mark all answers as “N/A”? o Question 2 – Is the contractor registered with the Secretary of State’s Office and/or the IRS to conduct business as an independent contractor? – If contractor is a corporation that is appropriately registered with the SOS/IRS, should the answer to this question be “YES”? o Questions 14 and 15 – Does the contractor bill by an hourly rate? // Does the contractor bill by a lump sum? – We can do either of these, depending on the client’s needs; is it acceptable to have both be YES? | Answered in Addendum 1 | | It appears the solicitation is state funded and will potentially be supporting federally funded contracts. If this is professional services associated with CDOT, doesn’t it need to be a qualifications-based selection without reference to cost? (using CDOT’s Master Pricing Agreement process) | Answered in Addendum 1 | | Are you planning to select a pool of firms for this contract similar to the other CDOT On-Call contracts? If so, it could be helpful to identify how many firms you anticipate selecting to encourage receiving more qualified proposals. | Answered in Addendum 1 | **Addendums**: | Addendum | Date | Note | |---|---|---| | Addendum No. 1 | 07/13/2026 07:23 PM EDT | |
