Per CRWWD requirements, Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe AWWA C900 or AWWA

C905, SDR 18

10/1/18

2 X Are you requiring restrained pipe joints on any of the C900 PVC sewer FM?

Per CRWWD requirements, Thrust forces in pressurized pipelines shall be restrained or anchored to prevent excessive movement and joint separation under all projected conditions. Thrust restraint shall be mechanically restrained joints.

10/1/18

3 X The plans call for (4) 4” ductile iron MJ 45 bends, are you requiring all the fittings on the sewer force main to be ductile iron or just those (4)?

Please clarify. The (4) each 4‐inch MJ 45 Bends shown on sheet H.1 are part of the Sanitary Sewer. Sanitary Sewer pipe and fitting are PVC according to Subsection 708.05.

10/1/18

4 X Clean‐out detail on sheet H‐8 calls for a (threaded plug 12” with 2” square nut)‐ are you requiring the clean‐out to be 12” diameter on a 4” sewer main?

This will be addressed in a forthcoming Amendment.

10/1/18

5 X Are you requiring restrained pipe joints on any of the 8” CL52 water main? Note 3 on sheet I.2 references a detail which shows minimum pipe joint restrained lengths near fittings, but it isn’t included in the plans or spec.

Yes, the contract does require joint restraint per City of Ridgefield Standards.

10/1/18

6 X Item numbers 62501‐0000 Line A1040 and 62501‐0000 Line A1060 refer to wetland and upland turf establishment. What are the seed type requirements for both of these line items?

10/1/2018

Check General or Technical

7 X Section 625.08 Mulching under 625. – Turf Establishment lists applying wood fiber or grass straw cellulose fiber mulch (at rate of 1500 lbs per acre), as well as applying bonded fiber matrix hydraulic mulch (at rate of 3000 lbs per acre). Is it up to the contractor to decide which type of mulch they use between these two options?

Yes, the bidder can elect to use either option

10/4/2018

8 X Clarification to my question A3 ‐ MJ fittings are typically made from Ductile Iron and restrained with Mega Lug retainer glands. You can’t get an MJ PVC fitting. So, my question was inquiring if you would accept MJ AWWA C153 Ductile iron fittings with Mega Lug restraints on all the fittings?

Comply with the CRWWD Manual as called for in the SCR’s.
