The purpose of this Amendment is to provide a summary of responses to questions/clarifications asked by potential bidders.

Questions / Clarifications

Bidders can send written questions or inquiries for clarification to: eflhd.contracts@dot.gov.

Questions can be submitted at any time, but questions submitted within 7 days of the proposal due date may not be answered in time for the bidder to properly incorporate the responses into their bids.

The following questions and issues were submitted via email. The Government response or clarification is provided. Due to the repetitive nature of several questions and issues, the wording of the questions may have been revised and some questions have not been included.

The Government’s direct response to the sender may also have been updated below for better clarity.

1. What will be allowable at the bridge site for crossing the creek? (armored ford, culverts, pumping)

Contractors were concerned with some of the dewatering plans being more costly than other alternatives such as pumping or temporary culverts? Will they have to build what is specified in the dewatering plan?

Response: The Contractor has the option to propose an alternate temporary diversion method, subject to the approval of the CO per Subsection 157.10 of the Special Contract Requirements. Any proposed changes will not be considered during advertisement - any alternative proposal can be submitted to the CO for approval during construction.

2. Are there any waste sites available in the project area?

Response: No, please refer to Subsection 203.05 of the FP for material disposal.
