The following question was received and answered.
Q. Does CLT intend for this DBE participation to be fulfilled by firms that are DBE certified by NCDOT
and M/W/SBE certified by the city, or will a firm that is a DBE with NCDOT fulfill the requirements?
A. This project will not be subject to the City of Charlotte’s CBI (Charlotte Business INClusion) Program.
With regard to the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program, eligible firms
must be
certified as a DBE firm through the NCDOT.
Q. We would like to make sure we are clear on the intended scope relative to the
geotechnical work. We understand that the scope is to include construction related geotechnical
testing (i.e. density testing of soil, subgrade evaluations, etc.). Will the scope also include
geotechnical drilling evaluations or similar exploratory work?
A. No, we already done the drilling work. This will be just for materials testing.
Q. Regarding West Ramp. Just want to clarify that 25 pages means 25 sheets of paper with print
on both sides. Equivalent to 50 pages of text, correct?
A. Max number of pages is 25; you are allowed to use both sides of the paper, which will be
equivalent to 50 pages of text.
End of Addendum.
