Q1.
Proposed 6” Fire line: Drawing WS-2 (Phase II) indicate the new 6” fire line to be Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP)
wrapped with polyethylene. However a specification allow for PVC pipe to be used for all underground,

unless a clarification is otherwise provided with the corresponding specifications for DIP also provided
that PVC pipe will be acceptable for the 6” fire line scope.
A1.
Contractor to price DIP, wrapped in polyethylene, in accordance with the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer
Department Standard Details and Specifications.
Q2.
Please clarify that the intent of the sentence: “and to accommodate any representative of the City which
the City may chose to have present at the Project”, is to allow the City’s representative access on a
transient basis into the Contractors’ field offices when those representatives visit the site, but is not to
have the Contractor provide dedicated offices at the site for the exclusive use of the City’s representative
since no requirements are included in the Bid Documents for the configuration of those offices.
A2.
Yes, this is correct.
Q3.
Please clarify that the sentence: “Contractor shall bear all losses incurred on account of the amount of

Article 12, “Site Investigation and Representation”, as referenced above, is standard contract language in CIP‟s
construction documents and therefore, applicable to this project.

Q23.
It is standard business practice for subcontractors and suppliers, to provide the pricing for their scopes
to the bidders as close as possible to the Bid Due time (in this case, 2:00 PM). Because of this, the City’s
requirement to request that a copy of the bid be submitted in digital form on CD-ROM in PDF format, with
the bid, will impose an extreme hardship to the bidders. We respectfully request that the copy of the Bid
in digital form on CD-ROM be allowed to be submitted in a separate envelope no later than an hour after
the Bid Due time.
