CONTINUATION OF SF30, BLOCK 14 / 12034318Q0196 / Amendment 0003

Question 1: Plans show gabion baskets and rock fill at each end of the bridges. I can provide with my quote the anchor bolts that secure the gabion to the sill, but do not have a way to provide a completed gabion with rock. The RFQ schedule of items indicated the scope to be “Supply all Timber and Hardware – Bundled and Marked”. Is this meant to include the gabion basket and rock?

Also, the Special Project Specifications indicates that installation is in the scope of work. Can you confirm that this is supply RFQ and does not include installation?

Answer 1: They have to supply the gabion baskets for all the bridges and the anchor rods (all-thread), nuts, and washers to fasten the sill to the baskets.

They DO NOT have to supply the rock.

This is supply only. The complete specs would be for construction as well, so that is why the mix-up. All they have to supply is the wood and metal. The rest we will do here.

Question 2: The elevation on sheet 2 of 5 shows three backing planks (3x12) at the end of each bridge extending almost to the bottom of the wood sill:

However the connection details for a wood sill on sheet 4 of 5 shows two backing planks to approximately the top of the wood sill:

Do you want 2 or 3 backing planks at each end of each bridge?

CONTINUATION OF SF30, BLOCK 14 / 12034318Q0196 / Amendment 0003

Answer 2: That is the problem with standard drawings. The drawing require the bidder to quantify the materials based on the size of the bridge described in sheet one. The depth of the stringers dictates the number of backing planks irrespective of how the typical drawing may depict it. All the bridges need three backing planks per side in this contract.
