West Patrick Street Sewer Line Question Deadline: 1/5/2024 03:00 PM (ET) The City also reserves the right to contact a proposer for clarifications and may, at its sole discretion, allow a proposer to correct all formalities, informalities, and technicalities in the best interest of the City. The issuance of this Request for Proposals constitutes only a request to make submissions to the City. The City reserves the right to determine, at its sole discretion, whether any aspect of a submission satisfies the criteria established in this Request. The selection shall be based on the Proposal, which is in the sole opinion of the City, is in the best interest of the City. Procurement in professional services or other services valued more than $10,000 are available for bid and award only to certified Small Business Enterprises ("SBEs"). Procurement contracts for vehicle, industrial equipment and machinery, chemical, or software purchases are exempt from the Small Business Reserve program if it is determined by the Manager of Equity and Inclusion, in consultation with the Purchasing Manager and the Director of Budget and Purchasing, to (a) be in the best interest of the City and (b) the results of our due diligence process will not lead to available or responsive SBEs. The intention of this Small Business Reserve policy is to increase opportunities for SBEs to perform as prime contractors on City projects/contracts, growing capacity and gaining valuable experience. Accordingly, to obtain a small business reserve program contract, the bidding SBE must self-perform a significant percentage of the contracted work (a minimum of 50 percent), limiting its ability to subcontract the work. The City of Frederick recognizes the importance and responsibility of awarding contracts to those businesses socially and/or economically disadvantaged and it is the policy of the City to utilize Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises in all aspects of contracting. If any persons contemplating submitting a proposal under this solicitation are in doubt as to the true meaning of the specifications, proposal documents or any part thereof, they must submit questions to The City of Frederick Purchasing Manager in writing at once, but in no case later than five (5) business days prior to the scheduled opening of the proposals. Any questions received after that time may or may not be answered at the City's discretion. The City reserves the right to extend the proposal opening date when no responses or only one (1) response is received. As part of this design and build project the Design Build Team (DBT) will evaluate existing conditions and previous studies, design and construct an upgrade to alleviate the backup conditions and provide adequacy for future growth. The City of Frederick is interested in the construction of a 15" sewer main crossing between MH 1186 and MH 1184, to reduce the burden on the existing 12" crossing of West Patrick Street.
