Amendment No. 0003 Project NC NP BLRI 2A16

Blue Ridge Parkway Solicitation: 693C73-23-B-000013

The purpose of this Amendment is to:

1) Provide responses to bidder questions.

2) The Bid Opening date of August 8, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. EDT remains unchanged.

Bidder Questions and Responses

1) Bidder Question: What is the anticipated start date?

Response: As stated in the solicitation, the Contract Award/Notice to Proceed is subject to the receipt of permits. Currently, permits are still pending, and we are unable to provide an anticipated start date.

2) Bidder Question: If the project is to start this year and run through the winter, will you extend the completion to 390 calendar days for Schedules A+B+C and 320 calendar days for Schedule A only?

Response: Contract time will not be extended; however, if winter weather precludes work the contractor may request a winter shutdown during which contract time would not be counted.

3) Bidder Question: The load restrictions under Special Contract Requirements Table 104- 1 do not allow us to deliver the prestressed beams to the job. The heaviest GVW of truck and beam to deliver the job is approximately 130,000 lbs. Please advise.

Response: After award, submit an overload permit request to the Parkway. The load described is typical of construction loads that sometimes travel the Parkway. EFL Bridge Inspection Program (BIP) team is aware of the project and will provide the Parkway with the recommendation for the overloading permit.

4) Bidder Question: Is there a minimum span requirement for the Temporary Bridges?

Response: The temporary bridge needs to meet the requirements listed in the SCR. EFL is anticipating approximately 160’ in length.

5) Bidder Question: The plans show a trout buffer. What are the details of that and how is it paid?

Response: Trout buffer is not a pay item. It is a boundary to define the limit of work area for the Contractor. This item is described in SCR 108.

6) Bidder Question: Will a certain type of tree protection be required and how is it paid?

Response: No specific tree protection is called out for this project. Any work done by the contractor to ensure vegetation is not damaged will be paid under FP-14 Section 109.05.
