- Is there an incumbent that supported the Chesapeake Bay Trust (CBT) submission for this award?
No. There is no incumbent contractor or consultant, and no firm that supported the CBT submission for this award. All qualified respondents will be evaluated on the same basis.
- Are there target stormwater reductions or water quality metrics identified in the award?
No. The award does not set specific reduction targets or water quality metrics. Post #259 is looking to the selected contractor to recommend appropriate targets and metrics based on its own site analysis. Please describe in your proposal how you would develop and justify them.
- Are there existing grate inlets in the parking lot?
No. There are no existing grate inlets in the parking lot.
- Is a “Boundary Survey” required to determine the legal limits of the property?
No. A boundary survey is not required under this RFP.
- Does the project need to address reducing the site’s Clean Water Act Fee?
The RFP does not set a requirement or goal related to the site’s Clean Water Act fee. Post #259 is relying on respondents’ expertise on this topic. If you believe the project could reduce the fee, you may describe your approach in your methods section, but it is not a required element.
