The purpose of this addendum is to provide the answers to the written questions received during the question and answer period of the RFQ Phase as follows:

Question Answer

1 If a prime and/or team are pre-qualified in area class 4.01a – Minor Bridge Design, does the team still need to include a member that is pre-qualified in area class 4.01b – CONDITIONAL?

No

2 Item 4B of each exhibit lists both area classes 4.01a and 4.01b as requirements for the team. Do we actually have to have both 4.01a and 4.01b, or should this be interpreted as 4.01a OR 4.01b, as it is in item 4A?

See Note below:

3 On all of the contracts, in section 4B, it states that the Team must be pre-qualified in the area classes listed below, and both 4.01a and 4.01b are listed. Should this read that either 4.01a or 4.01b is required?

a. Organizational Chart


b. Primary Office All work on this project will be performed in Holt’s Duluth, GA office. This office was established in September, 2013, two months after Holt Consulting went into business. Paul Holt lived and worked in the Atlanta Area for over 15 years, half of his career, building a transportation design operation for his former employer, The LPA Group. During his tenure in GA, Mr. Holt worked on many transportation projects throughout the state for GDOT and numerous local government clients. While developing a solid reputation for project delivery and client service, he also developed solid relationships in the local transportation industry. Through the investment of time, energy, and financial resources, Holt Consulting is committed to build a leading transportation presence in GA. We currently have the staff availability to complete these projects and we are actively recruiting additional transportation design personnel to support projects undertaken in GA. Our Atlanta area office is dedicated to providing transportation design services for GA clientele, and specifically for GDOT. Our Atlanta personnel are seasoned roadway design professionals who operate in an environment without corporate bureaucracy which allows them to focus on and deliver project and client commitments in the most efficient manner. Because the current project obligations within the office are low, our team can focus on this project, thereby benefitting GDOT and promoting efficiency. c. Narrative on Additional Resources and Ability Project Manager – Mr. Gowen brings 17 years of roadway design experience on transportation projects to Holt Consulting Company. Mr. Gowen’s experience includes both traditional bid-build and design-build projects. He has experience working on projects with multiple bridges similar to this project, including the GDOT Big Bridge 2 contract. This experience demonstrates his capabilities to manage multiple projects concurrently across multiple geographies and various stages of development. He also has the demonstrated capability to manage a large team of subconsultants. Team Coordination –The Holt Team includes multiple subconsultants, several of which are certified DBE’s. Our team partners are companies with which we have long-standing relationships and experience working together. The benefit to GDOT is that we have already established mutual trust, our companies are a good fit together, we have virtually no learning curve, and we ultimately, across the board, have GDOT’s best interest as our top priority. We have assigned two bridge design squads (see organizational chart on previous page) to handle and stay ahead of schedule for the multiple bridges that are included in this contract. Our team will have no issues with meeting the milestone dates as shown in the RFP; NTP March 2017 and Let Contract July 2020. As the Holt Consulting QA/QC team members, Joe Leoni, PE, with Arcadis, and Massod Shabazaz, PE with Heath & Lineback, will be responsible for the review of design submittals at various stages of the Plan Development Process which includes but not limited to Conceptual Design, PFPR Plans, ROW Plans, FFPR Plans, Corrected FFPR Plans, and Final Plans for review of all roadway and bridge design elements for the project. The quality review will utilize a standard checking procedure, which is a check and balance process that includes review (checking), concurrence (back-checking), incorporation and verification (re-checking) of all production work and documents. One of the keys to delivering this project successfully is early and often coordination on front-end activities, including surveying, geotechnical investigations and recommendations, and environmental permitting. Our Team will meet, through consistent tracking and measuring, the incremental milestone deadlines in order to meet the submittal review dates and letting date. Availability – As demonstrated in the Commitment Table below, our project manager and key team leader’s project commitments relative to their available capacity are low. These professionals will be able to devote the necessary time and attention to make this project their number one priority. If selected, Holt Consulting will be under contract with GDOT in approximately 3 to 4 months for this project. Projecting our current workload out to coincide with the timeframe for beginning work, the Holt personnel assigned to this project (Brad Gowen, Jacob Redwine, Daniel Atkinson, Chris Lowery, and Paul Holt) are completely committed to the delivery of this project and will have availability of over 80% of their time. Our subconsultant team members have similar levels of availability for this project. Holt understands the importance of meeting schedule milestones, is dedicated to meet all deadlines on this project, and will utilize the full breadth of resources available from our team to do so. For each project undertaken, Holt involves a Principal (Owner) which ensures our project manager that he has the full support of the company as he will make important decisions that are always in the best interests of GDOT. We will also make full use of all of our teaming partners and their wealth of resources to meet your deadlines.
