CITY OF ISLE OF PALMS, SOUTH CAROLINA REQUEST FOR BIDS (RFB) 2025.04 WILD DUNES GOLF COURSE- FLOOD MITIGATION IMPROVEMENTS Response to Questions August 19, 2025 1. The RFB documents specify one inch asphalt, but the remainder of the golf course paths are planned to be paved with two inches of asphalt, which amount should be bid? Response: the bid should include two inches of asphalt. An amended bid sheet is attached here. 2. For units on bid form - do you want us to carry the units you carried (like a unit price) or carry what we think it will take (we would usually carry 10-15% overage on a lump sum bid)? Response: bid the units on the form. The contractor must document the amounts of each unit used and payments will be made on actual amounts installed. In instances where the amounts needed are more than 25% greater than those specified on the bid sheet, the City will have to and chosen contractor will need to agree to a process to authorize amounts greater than 25% off of those provided on the bid form. 3. What were the white flags on trees marking? Response: flags can be disregarded. 4. Are we able to isolate the irrigation lines so they will not be pressurized when digging in the area? Response: HDPE irrigation lines will need to remain pressurized to have the ability to irrigate areas of the course outside the scope of work. Should the need arise to depressurize the lines the contractor will need to have authorization from the golf course managers. 5. Will AutoCAD be able to be provided for layout purposes? Response: yes 6. Can an AutoCAD with aerial photos be provided (to be better bearings)? Response: yes, but background will be blurry. 7. Typically the contractors warranty is 1 year - what is plan on the warranty on grass? Will that be accepted by Wild Dunes and us not have to carry cost to potentially replace?
