    Questions & Answers

    Q (Inquiry on Project Budget): Could the City confirm the budget allocated for this project?

    A: The budget is $250,000.


    Q (No subject): What is the estimated design fee?

    A: The budget allocated for design of this project is $250,000.


    Q (No subject): What is the estimated start date?

    A: The City would like to move forward with design as soon as possible. A start date cannot really be estimated because of procurement timing and negotiations that would ensue after. Best guess would be July or August.


    Q (No subject): What is the estimated cost of construction?

    A: That would be on the winning consultant to determine once they finish design of the project.


    Q (Submission Requirements): Could the City clarify if the complete SF330 Form should be uploaded as a single document under the 'Firm Qualifications' tab, or if we should split the form and upload Section F under 'Firm Experience' and the remaining sections elsewhere?

    A: Upload the SF330 as a single document under the Firms Qualifications' Tab.


    Q (Forms): Regarding the submittal requirements, could the City please share the required forms for the Certified Resolution and Drug-Free Workplace Certification?

    A: Please refer to the Addenda & Notices tab for the forms.


    Q (No subject): On page 4 of the RFQ it requests information on the firm’s financial history, strength, and stability. Can the City confirm whether a financial status/capability letter would be acceptable to meet this requirement?

    A: A financial status/capability letter would be acceptable given the information is current and it outlines the firm’s financial history, strength, and stability.


    Q (Forms): Could the City please share the Foreign (Non-Florida) Form?

    A: Please refer to the Addenda & Notices tab for the forms.


    Q (No subject): In reference to Section V. Insurance, no. 5 on page 6, can the City please confirm that consistent with all insurance requirements throughout the RFQ, only the successful proposer is required to include a list of any claims presently outstanding against their professional liability coverage? As such, it is our interpretation that this would be handled upon selection and not to be submitted with our proposal package.

    A: All firms are required to list claims presently outstanding against their professional liability coverage with the proposal package.


    Q (No subject): Would the City please remove any reference to liquidated damages? We believe they are not applicable to the services of design professionals, as we do not control, set, or manage the project schedule-this is a contractor-specific issue and should be removed from our contract.

    A: The federal required contract provisions cannot be revised.


    Q (No subject): In the portal upload section under 1. Proposal Requirements, it states that proposal requirements should be uploaded per Section III of the attached solicitation. However, Section III is titled Scope of Services. Can the City please confirm if the upload is intended to include items listed under Section IV – LOI Submission Requirements?
