RE: BID 20260314, BAYSHORE PARK OYSTER REEF

BID DUE DATE: MARCH 11, 2026, ADDENDUM NO. 2

Bidders are hereby notified that this addendum shall be made a part of the above-named proposal and contract documents.

The following is issued to modify, and/or clarify the proposal and contract documents. These items shall have the same force

and effect as the original Quote and contract documents, and Quotes to be submitted on the specified date shall conform

with the additions, deletions and revisions as listed herein.

ITEM #1: QUESTIONS/ANSWERS:

Q1: Does this job require any kind of license from the contractor (GC, Marine Contractor, etc.).

A1: Bidder must be authorized to transact business, be properly licensed in the State of Florida, and meet

the insurance requirements specified in the Bid Documents.

A2: No, please note the County will be renewing the USACE Nationwide Permit upon its expiration (March 14,

2026). The new Nationwide Permit will be provided to the Awarded Contractor prior to construction.

Q3: 55-day Notice to Proceed, and the overage fee: After making some calls, most sources (all that we've

found so far) have a 2-3 month wait for materials required, both shells and bags. The bag delay comes

from the company named as a recommendation in the bid. Is the start date flexible? 55 days is more

than enough for us to do the install, but we're nervous about waiting for the proper quantity/quality

materials.

A3: The County is aware of the potential delays related to the materials. The date for Notice of Proceed will

be negotiated between the County and the Awarded Contractor at the pre-construction meeting, based

upon the timeline to obtain the materials.

Q4: Does the County require the Turbidity Curtains to be around the whole staging area?

A4: Turbidity curtains must be installed around the active work area in accordance with the specifications

and Permits. The turbidity curtains maybe repositioned as the active work area progresses.

use the playground area or the bathroom pavilion/parking lot by the playground for construction access

ad staging on site.

the County be monitoring the preparation of the oyster bags?

A6: No, The Contractor may use the playground area or the bathroom pavilion/parking lot by the playground

for construction access and staging on site including preparing the oyster bags.
