1
Have you been experiencing a recent
uptick in construction site erosion
control / drainage issues?
No. The City conducts a construction site
compliance audit annually, where staff looks at 50
randomly selected construction projects. Results
show industry compliance with erosion, sediment,
and pollutants control regulations has been
relatively consistent over the last three years, with
one-third of sites achieving and maintaining
compliance. Please see the City's Stormwater
Management Plan Section 5.6 for more
information.
2
Are there new contractors in the area
that are less familiar with local
standards?
Yes. The City of Bozeman is rapidly growing, and
there is an influx of local, regional, and national
contractors to meet the demand. Many are not
familiar with local or state regulations.
3
Is the City interested in developing a
local certification to help expedite
Construction Site Permit review?
No. The City has recently optimized its permit
review process and offers a consistent level-of-
service for all applicants. Please see the City's
Stormwater Management Plan Section 5.3 for
more information.
4
We noticed this project isn’t in the
City’s CIP – can you give us an
approximate budget for this effort so
we know how to scope our proposed
approach?
There is no budget for this effort. The City plans to
recoup all costs through attendee entrance fees.
5
It says under Training Examples to
provide class curriculum and materials.
A book for one of our training classes
is hundreds of pages. These wont work
against the page count will they? Can
we send hardcopy material in the mail
to you?
Class example materials do not count against the
page maximum. Respondents must submit all
materials digitally and may utilize the City's Cloud
for transfer if the file size exceeds 25 MB. Contact
the City Clerk at agenda@bozeman.net for more
information regarding digital submittal.

Potentially ten points are awarded for
the “Firm Workload”. I am assuming
that this is a general statement with
respect to “on call” services as I have
not seen a date or timeline set for the
deliverable of training. Does the City
have a desired date or season in mind
for when training(s) will be held based
on this RFQ?
The City plans to hold its 2021 training in late
summer or fall. The City will maintain some
flexibility with the selected consultant and
coordinate training on a case-by-case basis.
Respondents should address their general
capacity.
