BID RESCHEDULE:

ORIGINAL BID OPENING: Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM

NEW BID OPENING: Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 10:00 AM

QUESTIONS RECEIVED:

Does this project have Davis Bacon or AIS requirements? No, this project would not fall under

these Federal requirements

If Davis-Bacon wage rates are applicable, can you please provide the wage rate sheet and

construction type classification that applies to this project? N/A

What factors will determine the award of this project? Proposals will be evaluated by

determining the lowest responsible, responsive bidder considering: Bidder’s ability and

capacity to provide services, and Character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience,

and efficiency of bidder

Is the award to be based on the lowest single prime amount on the bid form or is the intention to

be able to breakup and select pricing based on the unit prices? Is the intention to increase or

decrease these quantities? In North Carolina, public bidding unit prices prevail based on

competitive bidding procedures.

Is a list of subcontractors and suppliers required to be submitted with the bid? The bid does not

require it. However, our agreement language states that the Contractor shall utilize no

subcontracts for carrying out the services to be performed without the written approval of

the Authority.

Are digital signatures for bid documents acceptable in lieu of wet ink signatures? Digital

signatures are accepted when accompanied by the dated digital signature certificate.

In light of the unprecedented and unpredictable market conditions arising out of or relating to

newly enacted or changed tariffs or other enactments and/or changes to laws, regulations,

executive orders and other orders or decrees of government officers and authorities relating to

ongoing and/or future trade in or with the United States, will the Owner modify the terms of the

Contract to provide Contractor with reasonable equitable relief due to the unpredictable effect of

such tariffs and market conditions on the cost or time for performance of the Work after the

submission of bids or completed negotiations of price? CFPUA is willing to reimburse for

tariffs actually required and actually paid, but only under certain circumstances. Our

bidding process relies on Vendors providing their best and final price, and as a result we

cannot honor any costs other than freight that are added after the PO is issued. Any tariff

payments must be included in the initial quote, as a separate line item, and documentation

of the actual payment of the tariff by the Vendor must be provided. Additionally, CFPUA

will only pay the tariff amount actually paid by the Vendor – no mark up on tariff prices

will be allowed.

Will the Contractor be responsible for running any new power lines to the new fiberglass

buildings, or terminating any existing power lines for the new buildings? No

Are there any existing pump control panels that will need to be taken out of service while

replacing the fiberglass buildings? No

Are there any temporary power requirements while replacing the buildings? No

Are there any temporary chemical feed requirements while replacing the buildings? No

What is the standard height of the fiberglass buildings? 6'6" x 16' x 8’ 8.25” (WLH)

FIBERGLASS BUILDING

Is the roof of the fiberglass buildings to be peaked in the center? Yes

Can you please clarify what all is to be included in the labor rate & cost sheet? This

requirement is to provide CFPUA with the bidder’s standard hourly rate for labor and

other fixed costs the bidder maintains.

Will the Contractor be responsible for carrying a building permit for each site? If needed, the

Contractor will be responsible for this.

Will the Contractor be able to temporarily dismantle any existing piping to assist with the

removal/install of the existing/new fiberglass buildings? They can only remove the blowoff

pipe and nothing else. The blowoff pipe “should” be easily removed by unthreading it from

the flange. This is only allowed at the 7 well sites that have 2 old fiberglass buildings with 1

pipe coming out of the fiberglass building.

Do the fiberglass buildings need crane lifting rings or lugs? Yes

Do the fiberglass buildings need to be wind rated? Yes
