161191 Questions and Answers #2.pdf

This is a Questions and Answers document issued by the Virginia Department of Transportation addressing clarifications for Invitation for Bid (IFB) 161191 for Bridge Timbers at Jennings Ordinary Bridge. The project involves furnishing and delivering Southern Pine Number 1 dense CCA treated bridge timbers to the Jennings Ordinary Bridge Crew located at 4668 W. Patrick Henry Highway in Crewe, Virginia, within the Richmond District's Petersburg Residency. The document provides critical specifications regarding timber dimensions and finishing requirements that bidders must understand to prepare accurate proposals.

The Q&A clarifications establish that the required bridge timbers must be rough-sawn on four sides rather than surfaced (S4S) and must conform to standard nominal dimensions rather than full actual dimensions. These specifications are fundamental to meeting the project requirements and ensuring compatibility with the bridge construction or repair work at the specified location.
