We see there are bridge specifications in the solicitation, but we don’t see any specifications for the pilings. For example Sheet H‐1 states under the Bridges General Notes that the specification for structural steel is under Section

717 which is all non weathering steel (i.e. A588).

There is no specific call out for the pilings and what grade of pipe they should be. In most applications the piling typically falls under its own spec and does not fall under the bridge spec. The welding detail is also for bridge spec

(AWS D1.5), and we do not see welding details called out for piling. Are we to assume that the piling materials are to fall under section 717, and welding detail to fall under AWSD1.5? Any clarification on this would be greatly appreciated.

In accordance with the Bid Schedule and Sheet H.1, Steel Pipe Pile, In‐Place is a 551 Pay Item; so see FP‐

14 Section 551 which specifies the required work for

Driven Piles, and references materials under

Subsection 551.02.

The bidders checklist says a subcontracting plan must be included for large businesses with the bid documents, but page A‐6 says in bold letters

"Do not submit this form with your bid." Please clarify.

The Bid Submittal Checklist on the third page of the

Invitation for Bids does not indicate a subcontracting plan must be included. It only has a box to check if a bidder does include it. Follow the instructions on

Page A‐6 that states “Do not submit this form with your bid.”, as the low bidder will be required to submit this form after all bids are evaluated and before contract award.
