GLEES Power Line Relocation, Pre-Bid 08/14/18 1100 MDT

Attendees: Cary Pence, MCM

General Notes:

• Ensure that all requirements for sections L & M are complete in proposals.

• A separate Hazard Tree clearing contract is scheduled to clear approximately 50’ from either edge of road, beginning this fall. Timing of implementation of this contract is intended to follow that of the Hazard Tree contract. This contract commencement could likely be delayed until next field season.

• There are several ephemeral stream crossings (typically only running during spring runoff) that have not been specifically identified on the plans. Any trenching in those stream crossing areas during live runoff events will necessitate proper diversion of the water, according to Wyoming Forestry Best Management Practices guidelines.

• Awarded contractor shall submit a temporary traffic control plan for approval.

Questions:

Q – Would vibratory plowing be allowed?

A – Yes. Alignment would then shift to the middle of the roadway. Optional pay items have been added to the Addendum No. 1 drawings. Note that culvert repairs and splices will be considered incidental to optional vibratory plow items. Timing of optional vibratory plow work would not necessarily have to follow the Hazard Tree contract, but could not coincide with it.

Q – What is the size of the cable-in-conduit?

A – 2.4” O.D. Manufacturer is Okonite.

Q – Is the contractor responsible for installing transformers, etc?

A – No. These will be installed by Utility company.

Q – A large stockpile of 1-1/2” minus aggregate base is located in the designated borrow area, can that be used for this project?

A – No. All borrow will have to be generated by additional pit development.
