Responses to Oral Questions
Q2) Is an USB flash drive an acceptable format for the electronic copy of the proposal?
A2) Yes. Section III (INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS), Subsection T (SUBMITTAL OF BIDS), Item 3, paragraph 2 states:
Bidders must also submit an electronic copy of their proposal. The electronic copy must be in a single file (PDF with OCR preferred), and shall be an exact scanned image of the original hard copy Exhibit A – Bid Response Packet, including additional required documentation. The file must be on disk or USB flash drive and enclosed with the sealed original hardcopy of the bid.
Q3) Is the aerial device named on the specifications based on a specific brand or model?
A3) Yes, the Versa-Lift VO32i. Equivalent brands will be accepted, provided that the aerial device configuration is very similar, the dimensions and capabilities of the equivalent aerial device meet or exceed our specifications, and the boom configuration is a “stacked” boom that provides for the minimum amount of overhang (from the lower boom) when the unit is swung out into traffic, with stability as good as or better than Versalift.
Q4) Is the word “Copy” required on every page of the copies or just on the signature page?
A4) No, Bidders may write “Copy” just on the cover page of their proposal.
Q5) Exhibit D (SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS), Part II (TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS), Number 16.3 (Pedestal), page 3, states:
Weldment will be fabricated from 1.25” steel plate. Footprint of pedestal will not exceed 22”W X 25”L.
Is that footprint everything exposed above the bed floor?
A5) The measurement noted applies to the pedestal weldment; i.e., the structure which extends from the bed floor to the underside of the turret or rotation gear. The pedestal size is restricted in order to maximize the free cargo carrying space in the bed area of the service body.
Q6) Exhibit D (SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS), Part II (TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS), Number 18.2 (110 VAC Electrical System (Con’t)), page 19, states:
Outlets:
Install one (1) outlet at the front of each compartment, near the top (total = 2)
Should these outlets be installed on both the street side and curbside, on the exterior, and between the body of the cab?
A6) Yes, the outlets should also be recessed into the body, facing forward.
Q7) Is a bidder required to be a certified SLEB?
A7) If the bidder is not a SLEB the bidder must subcontract 20% of the contract value with a SLEB. Page 6 of Exhibit A – Bid Response Packet, Required Documentation and Submittals, number 3 (Exhibit A – Bid Response Packet), item (b) (SLEB Partnering Information Sheet) states:
(1) Every bidder must fill out and submit a signed SLEB Partnering Information Sheet, (found on page 9 of Exhibit A) indicating their SLEB certification status. If bidder is not certified, the name, identification information, and goods/services to be provided by the named CERTIFIED SLEB partner(s) with whom the bidder will subcontract to meet the County SLEB participation requirement must be stated.
