Award Process states, "Once all Proposals are opened and reviewed to determine the lowest responsive and responsible Proposer, the City Council may award the contract." But page 11 states a list of 11 criteria upon which the proposals will be evaluated. Can you please clarify if it is low bid or not? Answer: Answered in Addendum 1 03/16/2026 10:51 PM EDT 03/17/2026 12:42 PM EDT - Q4 Arrow Right Question: Materials Costs Page 111, section 17. Materials states, "The Contractor shall supply all new and replacement material for all new construction or replacements necessary as per City Standard Construction Drawings. All replacements, whether due to disease, pest infestation or Contractor negligence shall be Contractor responsibility and considered part of the proposal item without separate payment made therefore." Are there any limits to the amount of materials the contractor would be responsible for? As it is written, hypothetically, if the City put in a new 50 acre park, the contractor would be required to supply all materials and would not be reimbursed for any extra work. What limits can be placed on this? Or does this item really belong in a non-construction RFP?
