The following is a Response to Questions as required by Part 1.3 of the Request for Proposals for the Pre-Engineered Garage at Grove Pond Water Treatment Plant.

Sealed Proposals for the RFP will be received for the Pre-Engineered Garage at Grove Pond Water Treatment Plant at the Ayer DPW Office, 25 Brook Street, Ayer, MA 01432 until 1:00 PM on Friday, July 29, 2016 and at that time and place non-price proposals will be opened.

Question 1: Is there budget funded for this project?

Response: The Town currently has approximately $160,000 dollars remaining in appropriation. The Town can also utilize other funding (approximately $60,000) toward the project.

Question 2: The building appears to be within the 100 foot wetlands boundary. Has there been a permit with the Conservation Commission applied for?

Response: No, this has not been completed. We’ve included environmental permits as part of the Contractor’s responsibilities; however, the DPW will complete wetlands permitting with the Ayer Conservation Commission. We do not foresee any issues with wetlands permitting based on past experience when permitting work at the site.

Question 3: The project schedule for completion is very aggressive. Is it fixed beyond your control?

Response: No, this is within our control and could be extended.
