PURPOSE OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS The purpose of this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) is to select a Proposer to perform the project services described in this RFP. SCDOT requires that this project be constructed in a very efficient and timely manner. The proposed project services are hereinafter referred to as the “Project”. “Proposer,” as used here, includes a firm or firms, consortia, partnerships, joint ventures, and other legal entities, which have been requested by SCDOT to submit a Proposal in response to this RFP. The Proposer shall become the Contractor if awarded the Contract. It is not the intention of the SCDOT to receive complete detailed Project analysis and design prior to the selection of a Proposer and the later execution of an agreement. Rather, the response to this RFP shall provide sufficient information to be evaluated by SCDOT to determine if the proposal is in accordance with the specified process and criteria. The Proposal shall be specific enough on assumptions used in its preparation so as to provide the basis for determining a final agreement. The information obtained under this RFP will become the property of SCDOT without restriction or limitation on its use. SCDOT shall have unrestricted authority to publish, disclose, distribute, or otherwise use in whole or in part any reports, data, or other materials prepared under this RFP. SCDOT shall retain ownership of all plans, specifications, and related documents. II. OVERVIEW A. Project Description The Project consists of all work necessary, within a 1.5 mile section of US 301, to remove the remainder of four existing bridges and to construct new bridges, including the associated roadway and drainage work necessary to tie the new approaches to the existing roadways. The project also includes roadway and drainage work between the four bridges within the entire 1.5 mile corridor. As the result of flooding, the existing structures were damaged beyond repair. All locations are along US 301 over the Black River Swamp. SCDOT intends to enter into a contract, for services as detailed in the Agreement and Agreement Exhibits. The Proposer shall be responsible for meeting all Project requirements, specifications, and other applicable criteria as set forth in “Attachments A, B, and C”. If modifications to the plans produced by the Proposer are required by the Proposer, the Proposer shall be responsible for these modifications, any associated permit modifications, additional right- of-way, additional utility impacts, and cost thereof. All modifications must meet or exceed the Project requirements. REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Emergency Bridge Replacement Package 5 - Clarendon County, South Carolina Project ID P029517 Page 3 of 19 B.
