CITY OF TUCKER ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF ADDENDUM 1 Publish Date: March 5, 2026 RFP 2026-005 DAILY OPERATIONS OF ROAD AND STORMWATER MAINTENANCE SERVICES Please complete this page and include this page only in bid submittal. I hereby acknowledge receipt of the supplement pertaining to the above referenced bid. COMPANY NAME: CONTACT PERSON: ADDRESS: CITY: STATE: PHONE: FAX: EMAIL ADDRESS: SIGNATURE DATE 1 ZIP: RFP 2026-005 ADDENDUM 1 This addendum provides responses to the questions received for this solicitation as follows: (Responses in Red). 1. Does the 4 person roads team, the 3 person stormwater team, and all of the called-out equipment need to be dedicated to the City of Tucker for 2080 hours a year (all 12 months)? Yes, the 4-person road crew, 3-person stormwater crew, and all required equipment shall be readily available for the City of Tucker for 2,080 hours annually. That is considering 40 hours a week. In the event of an emergency, the selected contractor may elect to deploy a different team/equipment at their discretion. It would be desirable to utilize the same team and equipment due to their familiarity of City staff and operations. 2. General Scope of Work:, Paragraph A, Item e. The RFP currently mandates the company have a current Utility Contractor’s License in the State of Georgia. Comment: Please be advised this is the FIRST time Optech has seen this requirement in 30 years working here in Georgia as our work is NOT “new construction”. Our Public Works contracts for the past 30 years in multiple Cities have been classified as “maintenance work” and we were not required to provide this Certificate previously in the City of Tucker, the Cities of Doraville, Stonecrest, Peachtree Corners, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, Milton, or the City of Holly Springs ALL of whom are former or existing clients for similar work. While we are happy to seek this new certificate, the process takes several months to complete due to various courses and test requirements which must be passed by a designated company representative. There is clearly insufficient time for us and MANY OTHER firms to complete this process in the next 17 days. By implementing this strict rule you are severely limiting the number of companies that can compete for this Project. Very large companies such as Blount Construction have this but their interest in a small municipal contract like this is minimal.
