QUESTIONS RESPONSES
Will you revise your agreement terms to State of Florida Standards?
There is some disagreement in the required key personnel throughout the RFQ. Is it truly
Page 24 Item C.b.1 key personnel does not match the Team Members table on pages 27-28.
Section 6.9.D (page 20-21) seems to identify engineering design services. Is this the
intent of this contract?
Page 26 of the solicitation indicates responses shall be signed by a representative
to specify that person.
Our firm is aware that several forms must be included with the qualifications response,
but they are not mentioned in the Preparation and Submission Instructions. Please clarify
or elsewhere (e.g. in an appendix)?
The evaluation criteria (p.27 of the solicitation) and Mandatory Requirements (section C
b.1, p24) identify different roles for key personnel. Please clarify which set of roles should
be highlighted in the proposal response.
Does the 25 total pages include, resumes, license, certifications and required forms.
However, only one of the roles specifically requested for this response, is a ProfessionalGeologist. Please clarify: is it required that all team members be PGs (ProfessionalGeologists)? Or is the text meant to indicate Professional Engineer (PE) registration?
