ITEM NO. 3: RESPONSE TO RFI :

3.1 Question: On the drawings, note numbers 4,5,6,7,8,10.12 and 13 states to repair work on a unit price basic. Are we to include these on a unit price basic? There is no place on the bid form for this. Please advise.

Response: All drawings and all specifications: “All references to “unit price” to be changed to “Base Bid Repair Quantities”, which should be included in the base bid and the work will be directed by the engineer/Owner’s Representative on site.”

3.2 Question: Note 25 on the drawings. Known location of displaced bearing pad. Can we get a detail drawing for the work repairs requested?

Response: Contactor to assume a total of (4) 25k shore posts to be installed below the tee stems. The means and methods for which a contractor choose to lift the tee to reposition the bearing pads is their responsibility.
