1. Questions and Answers:

Q. Jonathon stated that there was a smaller list of 10 properties for those contractors that don’t have capacity and/or experience.  He also stated that those contractors can bid on the larger list as well.  Why would they be allowed to bid on the larger list if they don’t have the capacity/experience? 
A. Capacity can- and should- change over time.  GCLBA releases lists requiring varying capacities for completion. See below for response regarding how GCLBA considers capacity in determining award. Any contract resulting from an IFB will not necessarily be awarded to the Bidder with the lowest price. Instead, contract(s) shall be awarded to Bidder(s) whose proposal(s) is the most responsive, responsible and offers the best service to the GCLBA in accordance with criteria set forth in IFB. This includes ability to complete the work within the required timeframe.

Q. How is capacity determined? 
A. Capacity needed to complete the work within the allotted time frame is stated within the bid. When determining whether a bidder has the capacity to complete the work in the stated timeframe, GCLBA will consider stated capacity, references, current workload and GCLBA’s experience with bidder capacity.

Q. Do you have a list of prequalified contractors that you can supply?  
A. See Attachment 1.

Q. Are you only accepting / acknowledging bids from contractors who are prequalified?
A. Contractors are allowed to submit for prequalification up to the due date and time of a specific bid, though it is encouraged that contractors achieve approval prior to Aabout the Pre-qualification process as it relates to specific bidding opportunities, please click HERE.  This is also available on GCLBA’s website Contracts and Bids landing page: https://www.thelandbank.org/contracts_bids.asp

Q. Can you please supply the full copy Davis Bacon wage rates for Genesee County for this project.
A. The original list is attached in the bid documents in Appendix 5, starting on page 159. Please note that this is not a Davis Bacon covered project, but the wages are required by GCLBA Board approved policy. Also, these wages are being updated to align with GCLBA’s Board-approved policy with this addendum. Please be sure to use the wages published with this addendum.

Q. In reviewing the upcoming bid documents for Contract Number LB 25-001, I noticed that the “Wage rates” General Decision Number: MI2020083, dated 02/21/2025 is incorrect and does not apply to what we’re actually doing.  After talking with Timolin Mitchell from the Wage and Hour Division yesterday; I went to Sam.gov and found the correct “General Decision Number: MI20250158, dated 01/03/2025.  This is why I am submitting Standard Form 1444 (Rev. 10/20230).  Paula from the Wage and Hour called this morning and stated that the form should be e-mailed to dbaconformance@dol.gov.  I feel these wages are more accurate, and confirmed it with the US Department of Labor as well. Please consider my request for the correct “General Decision Number” for this upcoming bid.

A. This is not a Davis Bacon-covered project despite containing otherwise federally-funded demolition projects. The wage requirement is based on GCLBA Board-approved Procurement policy that states:

“Prevailing Wage/Davis-Bacon: As the GCLBA requires all contractors/bidders (not including subgrantees) to follow the Genesee County Labor Standards and Genesee County Prevailing wage rates, a copy of the most recent wage rate decision for Genesee County as provided by Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Wage and Hour Division is included in each Invitation for Bids/Request for Proposals. If the project has been determined to require Davis Bacon wages, secure the applicable wage rate decision(s) and include them in the bid documents and construction contracts.”

With this in mind, please utilize the Unofficial Wage rates pulled from Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (formerly published by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs)  in Attachment 2.

Q. In the Addendum could you provide an example photograph collection that you are looking for both in terms of abatement and disposal? 
A. We have uploaded examples to box.com. The link to some before and after picture examples follows: https://app.box.com/s/qsmxe0x9segt5tmy3luii2cn81vjbw1l

Q. Will there be a line item for NESHAP submittals? 
A. No this should be included in bid costs.

Q. Are door hangers required? 
A. Yes, but signs are not required for this bid.

Q. Is it a requirement for contractor to have license / bonds in company name?
A. Contractors need to be prequalified and provide company license and qualifying officer license. Bonds need to be in the name of the pre-qualified entity. Bidders must have the ability to secure a Bid Bond in the amount of five (5%) of their bid amount and a Performance Bond and Payment Bond, if awarded, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the total contract amount. Surety on such bonds shall be by a bona fide company authorized to do business in the State of Michigan. Bond requirement shall be increased consistent with any contract amount increase.

1. Questions and Answers:

Q. For properties added to bid proposal. It does not state what list (1 or 2) they would be added to and if they are ACM containing. Please advise.

A. The addendum shows all added properties on list 2. 2410 Delaware does not have a thorough survey. Addendum 2 will list the property with a “*” to confirm that the property should be demolished as asbestos containing. Contractors should review Regulated Materials Surveys and bid appropriately for all properties based on findings in the Regulated Materials Survey.

Q. The bid sheet did not delete 1711 Mackin.  The addendum says that property was pulled, but its still on the bid sheet.

A. 1711 Mackin Rd is not on the addendum document sent on November 7^th. It is also not on the excel sheet on box.com, which was updated on November 7^th.

Q. On the bid sheet, I think you need to add “*” for 422 E Flint Park and 2410 Delaware…those two surveys are incomplete.

A. 2410 Delaware will receive a “*” for demo as containing. 422 E Flint Park Blvd has two surveys on box.com. The updated survey was incomplete, however, the original survey accessed the entire house.

2. 2410 Delaware Ave. Flint, MI 48506 is marked as demo as containing. (Attachment 1)

2. Questions & Answers
   Q: When should soil management and geotex barriers be used?
   A: Soil management techniques apply during excavations of soils with contaminants exceeding the applicable clean-up criteria. If contaminated soil is encountered during excavation and is to remain on site, then geotex barriers will be placed as a barrier between contaminated soils and clean backfill and topsoil at a depth to be informed by QEP, that will be protective of human health and the environment.
   
   Q:It looks like we are missing the survey for 5002 Industrial Ave. Can you please provide that for the bid?
   A: The survey was uploaded 4-17-24
   
   Q: Just want to clarify – The Bidding Checklist states a “Current Certificate of Good Standing. Web page printouts will not be accepted”. Do we need a mailed copy or will you accept an emailed copy from LARA?
   A: We just need one that is issued from LARA that is not a printout from the website. Generously, it should be dated within a year.

 2. Q: Which properties require subsurface testing and who will do that work?
A: The projects below will require coordination with the designated Qualified Environmental Professional, PSI/Intertek so that they may be on site to conduct oversight and environmental testing of subsurface soils.

3. Q: Which properties have an Environmental Construction Management Plan and Contractor Disclosure Statements?
A: A project specific Environmental Construction Management Plan and Contractor Disclosure Statement (Appendix 13) was created for each of the projects listed below.

Bidders are to review and be prepared to implement ECMPs, to include fencing commercial sites as indicated in ECMP. Bidders are to sign and submit disclosure statements. Employees working on these sites will also need to sign disclosure statements.
Some additional items of note: Wage and Job boards will need to be posted on site- perhaps in decon trailers. This will be verified when GCLBA conducts Davis Bacon interviews.

Please take special note of backfill required to meet the 1 to 4 slope post demolition of 3200 N Saginaw St.

 4. Q: If contaminated material is found such as soil that has to be transported to the landfill, will a change order (per ton) be issued?  We have an extensive history of ground soil contamination construction.  It is a standard procedure that this material is transported to the landfill per ton.  It is not fair for either party to try and estimate how many tons are going to be on each site.  In the past engineering had to approve start and stop points and the depth.  We don’t see this in the proposal if this work occurs how is it going to funded and controlled.
A: In the event that it is determined that impacted soils are to be removed, the extent of the removal will be informed by the appropriate Qualified Environmental Professional conducting oversight (PSI). While subsurface testing will be conducted by GCLBA QEP for the commercial projects on this bid, characterization of materials appears in the UNIT PRICE FOR NON-SCOPE ADD/DEDUCT. You will note there is also an item for disposal of impacted non-hazardous soils/liquids. There is space for additional material and unit rates that the bidder may write-in at the end of the UNIT PRICE ADD/DEDUCT. Please use the space provided to add your disposal per ton with the parameters for material indicated.

Please take note that some contaminated subsurface soils may remain in place. In this event the contractor will place an barrier under the guidance of the QEP. Any such barrier will follow this guidance from EGLE: 
“A demarcation or separation layer of highly visible geotextile fabric or other non-degrading porous material to be placed above the contaminated soils before the installation of the clean fill layer. The material must be chemically compatible with the contamination on site to provide an acceptable design life. A geotextile fabric may also provide protection from upward migration of debris or cobble with frost heave that could affect the integrity of the barrier. EGLE’s previous acceptance of orange snow fence as a demarcation layer has proven to degrade over time and is no longer considered effective.
Design life is for as long as the soil remains contaminated, but for a minimum of 20-25 years.”

This barrier may also be written in to the UNIT PRICE ADD/DEDUCT.

5. Q: Has the GCLB considered work practices that other municipalities have used in the past where they remove the commercial building to slab only.  Leaving the slab or parking lot on location would eliminate having to cover everything with plastic and you eliminate disturbing any material that would be contaminated .  If there is a basement on location all concrete stays in place and the hole is backfilled with any other contaminated material being handled at a later date. 
A: The City of Flint Building and Safety Inspections office will only issue demolition permits for 100% removal at this time. We do hope it is a policy they may reconsider as capping is a federal compliance method.

6.Q: Can you confirm the timeline for this work?
A: This work is to be funded with time-sensitive grant funding. All work must be completed with acceptable submittals received for reimbursement no later than July 5, 2024. Genesee County Land Bank must submit requests to funders for reimbursement by August. These projects must be prioritized. There is no room for extensions.
