Q4. Can you clarify what the spec is for the boulder placement? Size and type of material.

Response: Minimum boulder dimensions are 2.5’L x 2.5’W x 2.5’ H as shown in the Crabtree Creek A-A’ section sheet 2C-1 in the plans. Refer to the Boulder Toe Revetment detail on sheet 2C-2 in addition to the Boulder Toe Revetment spec on p.SS-12 to SS-13 in the project manual for information on the acceptable boulder material.

Q5. Item 18 on the sequence page 1A notes that if extra trees need to be cleared it will be on the contractor to remove, how will these trees be paid Response: Notes 18 on sheet 1A gives the City Urban Forestry department discretion on trees to be cut down. However, our grading permit includes all trees to the limits of disturbance (LD) and falls under our clearing included in lump sum grading. It is the intent of minimizing clearing of trees even within the LD to only taking trees out as necessary to complete the work and also to maintain as many as possible. At this time, we are not anticipating any trees outside the limits to be cut down and if any trees are identified in the future, the method of measurement and payment will be handled with a supplement to the contract at that time.

Q6. Is fabric and #57 stone incidental to the boulder toe revetment item or can you add items for this.

Response: Yes, non-woven geotextile fabric and coarse backfill are incidental to the Boulder Toe Revetment.

Q7. Can you add an item for erosion control blanket used in soil lift detail Response: Quantity of erosion control blanket required for the construction of the Soil Lifts shall be per the Soil List Detail on sheet 2C-2 and spec on p.SS-13 to SS-14 and is considered incidental to the Soil Lifts line item.

Q8. Will the City consider Permatrak for the boardwalk?

Response: The City will not incorporate Permatrak into the project prior to bid openings. However, following award of the contract, contractors are required to submit sealed shop drawings. At that time, the City may consider Permatrak provided that all submitted materials fully comply with the specifications and performance requirements, including but not limited to durability and load capacity.

Please note, no price increase will be permitted for this consideration. Unit prices provided in the bid, along with documentation associated with the stick-built boardwalk, will be used to determine the lowest qualified bidder for the project award.

Q9. is there any way you can share the engineers estimate for this project?

Response: The City has a budget in the range of $3M to $5M for construction.

Q10. on page 8 of the project manual it says: ”DO NOT SEPARATE THE BID FORM FROM THE PROPOSAL! Return the entire proposal with your bid.” And then, ” THE PROPOSAL WITH THE ITEMIZED PROPOSAL SHEET ATTACHED…” Do you want just the bid form and all the other signed required documents in the envelope (20ish pages) OR do you want the bid form, signed required documents and the entire project manual printed out and returned back to you (500 pages)?

Response: The intent is for the potential bidders to submit the required documents as a complete proposal and not just the bid form. The proposal shall be considered responsive if the bidders follow the “Instructions to Bidders” and the checklist on page F-2 (199 of the PDF). As every bidder’s situation may be different, it is recommended that the cover of the bids be page 2 from the PDF, F-2 be the first page as instructed, and the rest of the forms and documents needed for a responsive bid after the checklist.

There is no need to include any of the standard or special provisions unless otherwise noted, any of the appendices unless otherwise noted, or the example contract and forms that pertain to after the contract is awarded unless otherwise noted.
