Respond to RFP for 36C78619Q0252 Baltimore National Cemetery, Install Storm & Sanitary Sewer

1. There appear to be a number of trees where the majority of the root systems would be cut by the installation of both the storm and sanitary sewers with root pruning per the detail on sheet CD100. We are concerned this will compromise the structural integrity of the trees and cause a potentially hazardous condition in the future. Please clarify what measures, if any, are intended for these trees over and above the root pruning.

Trees within the limits of disturbance have been evaluated and are not considered of high value. Therefore, the tree pruning detail will be sufficient.

1. Currently the project shows an overlay for the roadway coming up, with no milling indicated, but the current asphalt is tied into the gutter line along the side opposite of the new sanitary and storm. Is the intent to mill the overlay area prior to overlay or simply overlay, and if the latter, do you want to edge mill the asphalt or overlay the gutter pan?

The Demolition Plan, Sheet CD 100 (4 of 14) indicates “Existing Asphalt to Be Milled” for the area in question.

1. The drawings show approximately 6’ drop from the new invert in to the invert out. Additionally, a detail is shown for a drop manhole connection, but one is not indicated on the profiles. Baltimore City Standard Detail BC 831.01 indicates that the bricked invert must be carried up to the flow line of the pipe, which is obviously impossible given the vertical offset. Please clarify if a drop connection is required and provide details such as invert in for the lower invert.

At sanitary manhole “Ex B”, the detail for the drop manhole connection is shown on the profile by reference to Detail 4 as shown on Sheet DT500, denoted by the highlighted symbol shown below.

1. Related question: Detail BC 831.01 additionally shows a 4’ vertical section of the manhole projecting 4’ above the top invert of the invert out. This would put the invert in of the upper drop in the tapered section of the manhole. Typically this is not done, please confirm the detail as to this connection.

At proposed sanitary manhole “J”, the detail for the drop manhole connection is shown on the profile by reference to Detail 4 as shown on Sheet DT500, denoted by the highlighted symbol shown below.
