RE: ADDENDUM #2, RFP NO. 20260323, EMERGENCY DEBRIS REMOVAL – ANNUAL CONTRACT

PROPOSAL DUE DATE: 3:00 p.m. (EST), APRIL 14, 2026

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

documents. The following are issued to revise/clarify the proposal and contract documents, and these items shall

have the same force and effect as the original proposal and contract documents. Proposals to be submitted on

the above-specified date at Purchasing shall conform to the revisions and clarifications as listed herein.

ITEM # 1 QUESTION/ANSWER:

Q1: Does the contactor need to include additional pricing for debris removal from Little Gasparilla

and Don Pedro Islands?

A1: There is currently no available direct access to these islands. Palm Island (aka Don Pedro Knight

Islands) can be accessed via Palm Island Transit ferry service. If the contractor chooses to utilize this

service, any ferry costs would be a direct pass through to the county. Access Little Gasparilla Island,

should it be necessary, would require the contractor to utilize a barge and obtain approval for landing

sites. All debris removal prices in cubic yardage would match that of the mainland debris removal. The

equipment pricing sheet includes barge related items.

ITEM # 2 ADDITIONS:

Addition #1: Please see the additional pricing proposal pages, not included in the original RFP, that are

included in this addendum:

 Pricing Proposal, Equipment and Labor (3 pages)

 Pricing Proposal, Waterway Debris Removal (1 page)

Addition #2: On page 7, RP-22, Insurance Requirements, 3. Worker’s Compensation and Employers

Liability, please add d. Projects on or along navigable waters an endorsement for US

Longshoremen and Harbor Workers and Jones Act is required.

This addendum is binding and is to be considered as if contained within the original proposal documents of RFP

No. 20260323. Firms are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum on their proposal forms.
