Question Response
Please confirm if bidders should include the cost to provide the following insurance policies:  pollution liability, builders risk, and professional liability.  An installation floater is not the same as builders risk and may be inadequate compared to a builders risk policy covering the full value of the contract if you do, in fact, require this coverage. (see email) Bidders may take exception where indicated on the Bid Documents. The County will review and consider whether to allow the exception if that Bidder is determined to be the lowest responsible & responsive bid.
Please confirm the anticipated notice to proceed and mobilization dates for schedule creation. Notice to proceed will be issued after February 15, 2025 Board Meeting.

This value has been amended to "$4,000,000".
