12343420R0003 – FR 150 Highland Scenic Highway 48” Culvert Replacement Project Additional Questions / Clarifications

May 13, 2020

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

1. What is the specification on 64602-1000, Building, Restroom?

ANSWER= Shall be installed before any work can start and a cleaning and pumping plan shall be in writing and gave to the COR. Please look at 1915.88(d) at https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1915/1915.88 for specification on restrooms.

2. Could a detail be provided for the G-4 W Beam System?

ANSWER= Please see sheets 16A and 16B which were added to the Project Drawings / Plans (Attachment #2) document with Amendment #1 (posted 5/7/2020).

3. What end terminals are to be used? I.e. Buffered End Section?

ANSWER= All guard rails that will be used are government owned and shall be picked up at the Marlinton Ranger Station and removed then delivered back to the Marlinton Ranger Station. The Contractor shall install guard rails with new wood posts. Some are the round type, and some are the square type post.

4. On SH 10/25, the signage details are provided and spec’d as Regulatory and Warning. We are interpreting the Regulatory signs to be permanent but there is only a pay item for temporary traffic control. Could it be clarified if there is permanent signage and if so, under what item will it be paid?

ANSWER= All signs are temporary and shall be removed after project is completed.

5. Can you elaborate on item 56506-0000, Coring/Pressure grouting ? The spec section in the FW14 does not apply. This section is for installing drilled shafts and installing structural concrete.

ANSWER= See Special Project Specification Item 56506-0000. This is being incorporated as a new attachment to the solicitation.

6. There is no way to predict how much concrete the voids will take. Can we make this a CY item or use the flowable fill item?

ANSWER= We are using flowable fill and it’s in CY; reference 20410-0000.

7. The pay item is for 111 LF. There’s no requirements on the sizes of holes to drill. Or, do you plan to pay for the pipe filled by the LF? If so, what about voids where the pipe is failed.

ANSWER= We are looking for a hole that can be filled with pressured flowable fill.

8. None of the drillers want to quote this.

ANSWER= An alternative could be them providing a price per day with operator. The flowable fill or pressure grout will be paid under item 20410-0000.
