WRITTEN QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS SUBMITTED

1. QUESTION: I want to ask if you have an estimated budget cost for this project?

ANSWER: The engineer’s estimate for this project is $15,500,000.

2. QUESTION: I am reaching out to inquire how addenda notifications would be received

for this project.

ANSWER: Providence City Hall will send out the addendum directly to anyone that has

pulled the RFP from the City site/Bid Net. The addendum will also be posted on Bid Net

and the City website for additional vendors to see and pull.

3. QUESTION: I’m reaching out to clarify the apprenticeship requirements for the

Providence Water Accelerated Lead Service Line Replacement Program – Contract 3.2.

Specifically, is the requirement for contractors to participate in a state-registered

apprenticeship program in any state, or must the program be registered specifically in

Rhode Island? In reading the spec, our interpretation is that the apprenticeship program

can be registered in any state and if an award is received then we will meet to discuss

the process and protocols by which the apprenticeship program goals will be achieved.

Can you please advise?

ANSWER: Please refer to the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training (DLT) for

questions regarding registered apprenticeship programs and requirements.
