5. Question: The pricing sheet dictates that the debris resulting from the removal of hazardous trees
and hanging limbs will have a unit rate per tree which includes hauling the resulting debris to
DMS or final disposal site. This would require collection trucks to follow the tree removal crews
and ONLY pick up debris from their work, thereby skipping piles of debris and leaving it on the
street to be picked up by another collection truck. If there is a major event, collection tru cks will
be more efficiently used if they could travel the ROW and pick up ALL debris rather than
skipping piles and only following the tree crew. This also means that all resulting debris will have
to be staged separately at the DMS to insure no comingling of debris is allowed. There will be a
need for additional equipment to manage the site segregated for hazardous tree work or there will
be lost time in moving equipment between the two areas. Limited Debris Management Sites, their
size and locations often make this scenario extremely difficult. The typical method is to price
hazardous trees and hanging limbs as a “cut only” rate and to place the resulting debris in the
ROW for collection as vegetative debris (item 1). This method frees up collection truck s and
expedites the collection process. Will the City consider changing the scope to allow for the debris
from removing hazardous leaning trees and hanging limbs to be placed in the ROW to be
collected and paid for as regular vegetative debris?
Answer: Yes. Please see revised Electronic Price Sheet uploaded to VendorLink as part of this
addendum.
6. Question: Will the City accept redlines/modifications to the indemnity General Terms and
Conditions.
Answer: No.
7. Question: The RFP lists a Truth-in-Negotiations Certificate and Affidavit and Identical Tie
Proposal form as required to be submitted in Section 1 of the proposal however these forms were
not included in the RFP document. Can the City please provide these forms?

Page 3 of 4
Answer: The Truth-in-Negotiations Certificate does not apply. The Identical Tie Proposal Form
is the Drug Free Workplace Program form. The language in section 4.8.2.2 has been revised.
Please see Section III, Attachments.
Question: Can you please provide the address that the original bid bond should be sent to?
Answer: The City will accept Electronic Bonds. Please submit a copy of your electronic bond
with your proposal.
8. Question: Line Items 6 & 7 are typically placed on the ROW and hauled under Line Item 1. Will
the City allow the tree debris to be placed on the ROW and hauled under Line Item 1?
Answer: Yes. Please see revised Electronic Price Sheet uploaded to VendorLink as part of this
addendum.
9. Question: Since Line Item 8b is a disposal cost, isn’t it included in Line Item 19? If Line Item 8b
is for hauling of the reduced vegetative debris, please provide the Origin/Destination in Column E
although Line Item 4 covers that scope of work. Please clarify.
Answer: Please see revised Electronic Price Sheet uploaded to VendorLink as part of this
addendum.
10. Question: Will the debris from Line Item 10 be hauled off from the ROW under Line Items 1 and
8?
Answer: If the debris is within the ROW it will be removed along with item 1 (Loading and
Hauling Vegetative Debris). This line item is for if the City asks the company to assist in
cleaning the culverts and catch basins. It was anticipated this cleaning and removal would require
a vacuum truck and associated clearing of vacuum truck.
11. Question: Is C&D compaction (reduction) at the DMS to be included in Line Item 8? Typically,
C&D Reduction by Compaction is a separate line item.
Answer: The Electronic Price Sheet has been revised. Management Reduction categories have
been added for work occurring at the DMS site.
12. Question: Will the City consider adding a line item for putrescent waste disposal from
refrigerators (per pound) to the Price Schedule?
Answer: Yes. Please see revised Electronic Price Sheet uploaded to VendorLink as part of this
addendum.
13. Question: For Line Item 8b, What is meant by Veg Cubic Yard per Weighed Ton? Is this
supposed a tonnage price for haul out from the DMS?
Answer: Item 8b has been removed as it is covered under other line items on the price sheet.
Please see revised Electronic Price Sheet uploaded to VendorLink as part of this addendum.
14. Question: Line item 8a is for haul out of C/D debris from the DMS to Final Disposal. Line items
9a and 9b are also for haul out of C/D debris from the DMS to Final Disposal. Can the city clarify
the circumstances when debris would be charged under line item 8a instead of 9a and 9b?
Answer: Please see revised Electronic Price Sheet uploaded to VendorLink as part of this
addendum.
