About this file

This is Addendum #1 to an Invitation to Bid issued by the Florida Department of Military Affairs, Construction & Facility Management Office, for the 4800 Area Paving project at Camp Blanding Joint Training Center in Starke, Florida. The addendum modifies the original bidding documents for Projects 220016 and 220017, which consist of repaving three avenues (Plant City, Melbourne, and Quincy) and four streets (Pensacola, Westerly, Rutland, and Eustis), including culvert replacement on a like-for-like basis, milling of existing asphalt, and two-lift asphalt paving operations. The original Invitation to Bid was issued on July 21, 2026, with a bid opening scheduled for September 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. A mandatory pre-bid site visit and meeting was held on August 5, 2026, and questions were due by August 19, 2026. Acknowledgement of this addendum in the Bid Proposal form is required.

The addendum's primary modification addresses substantial completion and liquidated damages requirements. The project must be substantially completed within 180 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $216.20 per calendar day for failure to meet this deadline. The addendum includes comprehensive Questions and Answers addressing bidder inquiries regarding work hours (0700–1630 hours, including Alternative Work Schedule Mondays), permit requirements (none required), site visit access procedures, ditch cleaning specifications, testing protocols for open cuts, milling delivery procedures, intersection turn radius requirements, pavement section specifications (8" stabilized fill, 6" lime rock, 3" asphalt 12.5 mix), striping requirements (6" white edge lines and 6" single solid yellow centerlines in standard paint with reflective crystals), and various technical clarifications. The contractor is responsible for conducting its own culvert count, performing quality control testing in accordance with FDOT specifications, and providing As-Built documentation limited to culvert locations, sizes, and invert elevations. Existing 12-foot-wide roads must be widened to 20 feet and brought to current standards before paving.

Q. Please confirm that permits are not required for this project.

A. Permits are not required for this project.

Q. Please advise the process for Contractor and Subcontractors to gain access for site visits to obtain measurements and culvert inspection.

A. Contractor may request access for site visits via the DPW Mail Group (NG FL FLARNG List CBJTC DPW Construction ng.fl.flarng.list.cbjtc-dpw-construction@army.mil ).

Q. Project Note 3. requires Contractor to "clean roadside ditches". Please define the expectations.

A. Excess material in ditches to be removed along newly paved sections. The depth should be from the inverts of culverts and maintains a positive flow.

Q. Project Note 3. indicates that the Contractor is responsible for repairing damage caused by its operations.

Please confirm that any pre-existing cracking, settlement, spalling, erosion, or other damage to existing concrete-lined ditches is considered existing site conditions and is not the responsibility of the Contractor.

A. Pre-existing damaged areas not caused by the contractor will not be their responsibility unless defined in the project bid documents. Existing conditions are to be captured by contractor before area of work begins.

Q. Project Note 4. requires testing of existing open cuts on avenues. If an existing open cut is found to be deficient, please clarify the method of compensation to remediate. Will remediation be considered incidental to the contract, or will it be addressed through a contract modification/change order?

A. Remediation will be considered incidental to the contract.

Q. Does Project Note 4. apply to open cuts located on “streets”?

A. Yes – Project Note 4 applies to “streets”.

Q. Project Note 6. require millings to be delivered to a location on base. Please advise if Contractor is only obligated to dump and that millings will be pushed into piles by others.

A. Contractor will only dump the millings. Camp Blanding will push up the pile.

Q. Project Note 7 requires a 30-foot minimum turn radius at intersections. For bidding purposes, please identify each specific intersection within the project limits that are required to be modified to achieve the 30-foot minimum radius. Please provide the anticipated limits of widening for each affected intersection. As this is a lump-sum proposal, identifying the required locations will help ensure all bidders are pricing the same scope of work.

mailto:ng.fl.flarng.list.cbjtc-dpw-construction@army.mil

A. Each roadway intersection must be a 30’ radius due to the type of vehicles in use. Contractor is only responsible for their newly paved portions.

Q. For open-cut restoration and intersection widening, will the Owner consider a full-depth asphalt pavement section consisting of 9" asphalt base and 3" SP-12.5 surface course? If not, please provide the required pavement section to be used for bidding purposes.

A. 8” stabilized fill, 6” lime rock, 3” asphalt 12.5 mix.
