TO ALL PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS:
The following questions were submitted by a potential bidder. Our answers
are listed below in red:
1. Completion of the LOSB Utilization Plan Form (20%)? Completion of this form is
a requirement.
2. EOC Compliance Form B? Form B is to be completed/signed, with applicable
backup documentation if the required goal is not met on Form A.
3. Since we are a small business and minority owned in Shelby County will these 2
forms need to be complete by us? These forms must be completed by the
company submitting the bid, listing the selected LOSB subcontractors.
4. On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at Pre-Bid meeting will the interested
bidders be taken to each site. Or are we allowed access to these locations
before the bid deadline? As soon as the meeting is over, all interested parties will
be escorted to the locations that are located inside of fencing.
5. Are the contracts for these locations 12 month? If so, please let me know the
start date and end date. This contract should be in place for the full 12 months.
The start and end dates are TBD.
6. Is there a performance bond or any other bond requirement for bidding? This will
be discussed during the meeting.
