ADDENDUM NO. 2
November 26, 2024
25-06-RFQ
Professional Design Services for Main Street Park and Boat Ramp
The original Request for Qualification shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified herein,
which shall take precedence over any contrary provisions in the prior documents.
SECTION I: CLARIFICATIONS
• N/A
SECTION II: QUESTIONS
1. Question 1: We request the Client to address problematic language in RFP 25-06-RFQ. The
indemnity in section/article 2.31 on page 14 does not comply with Florida Statute 725.08 by
requiring a defense. Please consider rewording same to conform with the statute and deleting the
requirement to “defend”. We strongly suggest and request that you modify this language to make
it compliant to FL Statutes. Suggested language per FL Statutes 725.08: “The design professional
shall indemnify and hold harmless the agency, and its officers and employees, from liabilities,
damages, losses, and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent
caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct of the design professional
and other persons employed or utilized by the design professional in the performance of the
contract.”
Answer: The indemnity in section/article 2.32 on page 14 does comply with Florida statutes. Our
language requires the contractor and subcontractors to indemnify and hold the city harmless. By
indemnifying and holding the City harmless the contractor and subcontractors are defendin g the
city from third-party claims relating to damage, loss, injuries, etc.
2. Question: Will the scope of this project include any erosion control such as a seawall?
Answer: No.
3. Question: In Required Form h) Truth in Negotiations Certificate and Affidavit (page 36/40),
bullet 5 contains language that the firms are entering into an agreement with the City of Palm
Bay. Does the City wish to issue a corrected form, or is it sufficient for us to cross out Palm Bay
and add Sebastian to this form?
Answer: Form H has been revised. Please see Section IV.
4. Question: Does the City want the sequential page numbers applied to sections that do not count
toward the page limit, like the contents of Tab 1 Transmittal Letter and Forms and Table of
Contents, or does the City only want page numbers applied to pages that count toward the 25-
page limit?
Answer: Provide sequential page numbers on all sections.
