BELFAST KELLER ROAD IMPROVEMENTS

FROM INTERSTATE 95 TO CRANSTON BLUFF ROAD

PREPARED FOR:

BRYAN COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

T&H PROJECT NO.

J–27691.0083

ADDENDUM NO. 3 October 22, 2024

GENERAL

This Addendum has been issued on behalf of Bryan County Board of Commissioners. The following information should be considered by prospective bidders in preparation of their proposals and is hereby incorporated into the Proposal Documents. Bidders shall be responsible for acknowledging receipt of this addendum in the Bid Form, Document 00313. Failure to do so will result in the proposal being considered non responsive.

PART I – QUESTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS

A. QUESTIONS:

1. Question: Can the concrete pavement at the I-95 Interchange be changed to all be the same depth?

Answer: The plans and bid form have been revised to incorporate the same depth of concrete pavement.

2. Question: Typically, GDOT will use 12.5mm Polymer for the final surface within the limits of Roundabouts, your typical sections only show 12.5mm. Are you sure you don’t want to go with 12.5mm Polymer?

Answer: 12.5mm Polymer will not be utilized at the Heartwood roundabout.

3. Question: Can Builders Risk Insurance be eliminated from the contract?

Answer: The bid documents have been revised to remove the requirement for builder’s risk insurance. See Part II of this addendum.

4. Question: The entire set of lighting drawings don't show any lights or circuits. Not sure what to do there.

For lighting in the area of the I-95/Belfast Keller interchange, existing lights are to be relocated. Retain all existing lighting equipment when possible, and replace parts in-kind if needed. Plan sheets from the original installation are being provided with this addendum. These sheets are not an addition to the plans, but should be used to establish the cost for lighting relocations.

All other lighting to be installed by the contractor are on signal poles. Refer to signal plans.

5. Question: Addendum #1. It seems that the bid item for the Rumble Strips has been completely removed for the updated bid schedule of values. Is this item going away? Also, Note #4 on GDOT detail T-19 state that "For approaches with speed limits less than 50 MPH, Thermoplastic Reflectorized Pavement Marking Compound

BELFAST KELLER ROAD FROM I–95 TO CRANSTON BLUFF ROAD ADDENDUM #3

Z:\27691\27691.0083\Documents\Construction\Bid\Addenda\Addendum #3 Addendum # 3 Dated October 22, 2024 may be used in lieu of the Asphaltic Concrete if approved by the District

Maintenance Engineer." As the engineer of record, are you giving us the go ahead to use thermoplastic rumble strips on this item if it is in fact remaining in the scope?

Answer: The item for Rumble Strips has been re-added to the bid form.

Thermoplastic Reflectorized Pavement Markings will be acceptable for T-19 rumble strips on this project.

6. Question: The signal drawings are missing the quantity list. I don't know what color the signal heads are. I need to know what type of push buttons system is being installed. The sheet that is supposed to show the roadname signs is blank."

Answer: The signal plans have been revised to include quantity list, signal head color, type of push-button system to be installed, and Road Name signs.

7. Question: It's unclear whether existing side roads are to be replaced or remain and just widened according to the typical sections for Belfast Keller. This will be a lot more demo if they are to be replaced.

Answer: Additional labels have been added to side road plan sheets and profiles to clarify which side roads are to be overlayed, widened, or full depth pavement.

8. Question: Note #4 for typical sections for Belfast Keller state that existing pavement under medians shall be removed, but the drawn typical sections show the median down the middle of Belfast Keller built on top of the existing roadway pavement. Which is correct?

Answer: Note #4 is correct. Typical Sections also state that existing pavement shifts from left to right of construction centerline.

9. Question: I didn't see where "Unclassified Excavation" was defined anywhere. Can

I assume that this item will only be used if unsuitable materials are found and need to be replaced?

Answer: Refer to general note #37.

10. Question: I'm not seeing profiles for the following runs of pipe. Could you check to see if I'm just overlooking them?

a) C-21A to C-21B

b) D-26 to D-28

c) C-232 to C234

d) D-38 to D-39

e) D-37 to D-40

f) D-141 to D-41

g) D-42 to D-43

h) D-42 to D-44B

i) D-50 to D-51

j) D-52 to D-53

Answer:

a) Provided in Addendum No. 2 on sheet 22-0003

b) Added in to sheet 22-0012

c) Added in to sheet 22-0012

For items d) through j), a table has been added to sheet 22-0012 to provide structure information. Additional labels have also been added to the 13 series to clarify where existing pipe is to be removed or retained.

11. Question: Is it your intention to Mill the Existing Pavement down about 8.5 inches to allow for all of the new typical section (asphalt depths) to be put back?

Z:\27691\27691.0083\Documents\Construction\Bid\Addenda\Addendum #3 Addendum # 3 Dated October 22, 2024

Answer: Mill existing pavement at tie-ins to create a smooth joint in overlay areas.

12. Question: Do you want to follow GDOT Specs for Storm Drain and do post installation video inspections? If so, could you please establish a bid item for this work in accordance with the latest version of GDOT Spec Section 550.

Answer: Item 550-9000 Video Inspection has been added to the bid form.
