Addendum #2
Q#1: How will the recycling lead credit be handled?
MT2’s recommends a 50%/50% split of the net value1/ of the lead. This is mutually beneficial to both parties as the more lead recovered, the more profit earned for Contractor and Client
Additional options would be for the department to keep 100% of the value of the lead, but this will increase the project cost as the lead proceeds are used by Contractor’s to offset pricing; the other side is that the contractor keeps 100% of the value of the lead, but this can be difficult to estimate and guarantee lead totals and therefor difficult to offer best value pricing to the client
A: We would like to do a 50%/50% split. However, we would like Lake County Sheriff’s Office’s portion to be credited to our invoice.
Q#2: Section 4.0 on page 14 references prevailing wage please provide the current wage schedule
A: Please reference page 10 of the bid document. Lake County has provided the link to access Lake County Prevailing Wage Rates posted on 7/15/2019.
