POSTING OF RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS RECEIVED FOR THE “NOTICE OF BID/REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
Q1.With reference to the Campus Master Planning RFP currently out, I have a question about the prime contract. If we were to have more than one firm as prime, will we need to form a JV, or will a less formal agreement suffice? Also, does that entity need to be legally formed at the time of submission, or can we have an agreement that we will form the legal entity if we are awarded the contract?
A1.One and only one firm may be prime consultant for this submission. Any joint venture must be presented as such at time of submission. Formal and legal agreement between members for such a joint venture shall be in place on or before execution of agreement between owner and prime consultant.
Q2.If we are to form a joint venture, will the University accept separate insurance certificates from the JV members, or will the JV be required to have its own separate professional liability insurance policy?
A2.Required insurance coverage must be in place for any prime consultant joint venture on or before execution of agreement between owner and prime consultant.
