The following information is to be incorporated into the bidding and contract documents and acknowledged by all bidders for the above referenced project. Bids submitted that do not acknowledge this Addendum will be deemed incomplete and may be rejected on such basis.

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)

1. Revised Attachment D, including Abatement Bid Tabs. Attachment 2.  Updated/Corrected surveys. The following surveys/abatement bid tabs have been updated with the indicated changes:
1. #11 6615 N Saginaw St- Updated description regarding inaccessible area. Corrected number of homogenous samples taken. The corrected survey was uploaded to box.com on 3/27/24.
2. #13 6056 N Saginaw St- Updated survey adds inspection of garage/shed on “L”-shaped parcel. Clarifies that the noted 55-gallon drums contain water.  No additional ACM identified. No change in abatement bid tabs. Corrected survey was uploaded to box.com on 3/27/24.
3. B: Corrected Phase I ESA uploaded for 6702 N Saginaw St. uploaded to box.com 3/27/24. Updated Phase I removed REC stating City of Flint Fire records indicated UST. Upon review, this REC was made in error. It is important to note that all commercial sites, especially those along commercial corridors, have potential for presence of unknown USTs and work should always proceed carefully.

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.

The following information is to be incorporated into the bidding and contract documents and acknowledged by all bidders for the above referenced project. Bids submitted that do not acknowledge this Addendum will be deemed incomplete and may be rejected on such basis.

1. Updated Bid Tabs uploaded to Box.com 3-13-24. Previous file had an error in the Total column as the formula left out column I. This was addressed and corrected file uploaded 3-13-24.

2. Questions and Answers:

1. Q: Which properties require archaeologist oversight and who will do that work?
A: The projects listed in Appendix 12 and relisted below will require coordination with the designated Qualified Environmental Professional’s archaeologist. This will be coordinated with Mannik Smith. Schedules will need to be created and kept. Successful bidder may be held responsible for costs incurred for archaeologist oversight due to poor scheduling and communication.

 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.

1. Questions and Answers. Please see below.

Q: Can you send the most up to date “Supporting Firm” listing that you have now? 

A: Please click HERE for a list of Demolition Support firms. These firms have not necessarily worked for GCLBA. They have been sourced through other services (such as MDOT certified listing, MMSDC, Genesee County MBE/WBE list, etc) or added via representatives’ contact with GCLBA. GCLBA does not endorse or require contractual relationships with any firm that appears on the list. All firms/individuals seeking contractual relationships ought to conduct their own due diligence. If proposing to utilize any of the listed firms to complete work under a contract with GCLBA, be sure to first ensure they meet and licensing and insurance requirements and receive approval from GCLBA before utilizing them. Additionally, if utilizing a firm to assist in meeting MBE/WBE goals, be sure to verify the firm’s certification. Do not rely solely upon the attached. Additionally, GCLBA is supplying a listing of sidewalk contractors provided by the City of Flint for contractor reference.

Q: For Attachment F, will an email satisfy the Form of Contact for the Subcontractors?

A: Yes, an email will satisfy the Form of Contact for the Subcontractors.

Q: Who do we list as Local Unit of Government and how do we get that signed by that Local Unit of Government?

A: List Genesee County Land Bank Authority (GCLBA) as the Local Unit of Government.  GCLBA will sign the document upon award of contract.

Q: Do we have to contact 3 subs, 1 MBE/WBE for EVERY trade (ie. Trucking, trees, backfill, etc…)

A: Yes, to comply with federal Procurement and MBE/WBE outreach requirements, local units of government; non-profit agencies; prime contractors; and subcontractors are required to select three businesses for each trade/category (i.e. trucking, trees, backfill, etc.). Of these three businesses, one business must be selected for solicitation from a MBE/WBE. (PDF page 230 Attachment F).

Q: Please clarify what wage rate asbestos abatement contractors are required to pay their employees for this project. The current Davis-Bacon wage rates for Genesee County do not align with the wage rates of the local laborers union that performs this work.

A: Davis-Bacon wage rates are not required under this solicitation. Successful contractors are required to meet federal and state mandated wage requirements such as the Federal Labor Standards Act, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, Michigan’s Minimum Wage and Overtime law, etc.

Q: Does the Genesee County Land Bank require NESHAP notifications for the houses that only contain non-friable asbestos containing materials such as floor tile, caulks, etc.?

A:   Yes, the Genesee County Land Bank requires a 10-day NESHAP notification for Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM), no exceptions. (Referenced on PDF page 110 of bid).

Q: We’ve been made aware of errors in the formulas on the spreadsheet – just wanted to give you a heads up if you want to correct & revise it.

2.                   Questions and Answers. Please see Attachment 2.
3.                   REVISED UNIT PRICE FOR ABATEMENT AND DEMOLITION WORK and UNIT PRICE SCHEDULE FOR NON-SCOPE WORK ADD/DEDUCT. Please see Attachment 3. These Revised documents from Attachment D are to be used in place of those originally published. Changes include:

1. Removal of 1313 Illinois Ave from bid list 22-005-1 due to the need to resolve basement access with EGLE/MIOSHA
2. Addition of Well Abandonment to UNIT PRICE SCHEDULE FOR NON-SCOPE WORK ADD/DEDUCT

4.                   Updates to Surveys/Bid tabs/ ABATEMENT BID TABS. Please see Attachment 4 for updated abatement tabs indicating changes with yellow highlighting (an addition/change from previous version) or dark grey highlighting (removed from updated survey). Where changes are indicated, updated surveys have been uploaded to box.com. Greyed out items have been removed. They were originally listed for potential electronic components. GCLBA has determined that these specific items are to be treated as household hazardous waste and disposed of with demolition and do not need to be abated prior. Please note that the bid tabs are to indicate material to be removed and successful bidders must still request access to, and review, surveys on box.com in order to make informed and reliable bids. Many surveys also highlight ACM that contains less than 1% asbestos that are not required to be abated prior to demolition and so do not appear on the abatement tabs. Work around material with less than 1% asbestos is still regulated. Please review Q&A and be sure that you are bidding and protecting workers accordingly.

1. Coordination of Utility Cuts:

Please note that unless otherwise noted, Genesee County Land Bank Authority coordinates gas and electric cuts with Consumers Energy and provides successful bidders with cut confirmations to utilize in obtaining permits.

In general, GCLBA does our best to put properties out to bid either after retirements are complete or as close as possible to when we anticipate them to be complete. The same applies to water and sewer cuts within City of Flint limits. Successful bidders are to coordinate water/sewer/well cuts/abandonment as necessary in municipalities that are outside the City of Flint. GCLBA coordinates Consumers Retirements for all properties. Sometimes there may be some delays in retirements that require some coordination regarding scheduling once contracted, but we aim to minimize those instances.
