All conference call attendees will be asked to provide name, company and phone number for each bid opening attended. To make the size of any call more manageable, vendors with multiple representatives are asked to call in from one (1) line only. After introductions, caller phone lines will be muted during the reading of the bids, but will be unmuted to allow questions after all bids have been read. Preliminary pricing will be read aloud for any vendor submission received prior to the listed deadline, with each vendor identified by name. Official Notification of Award, including bid tab, will be released once the solicitation has gone through evaluation and recommendation of award. The allotted time for construction is three-hundred-fifty (350) calendar days.Bids will be received for a single prime Contract.

Fair-Share Goals: The MBE fair-share goal is 2.6% for construction and 5.2% for supplies, services, and equipment. The WBE fair share goal is 2.6% for construction and 5.2% for supplies, services, and equipment. Basins 3C and 4B: Residential areas with not a lot of open spaces and "spare" ROW. While not as restrictive as Lookout Mountain, it is a close second. We ask that contractors plan accordingly so it's no surprise how to deal with it - the point being don't be in a situation where we're near the end of the job and the bidder awarded the contract is saying how slow this work is going because of moving equipment and constrained topography. Good news is the road network is dense so if there's no access from one road to a back yard, contractors can likely get in from the other side.
