Bidder Questions and Responses

1. Bidder question: Is there any CAD files on this project from the previous work that has been done to the area?

Response: CAD files will only be made available upon contract award.

2. Bidder question: Plans show 3/12 roof pitch - existing shelter we are matching has a 6/12 slope? The bid documents show a roof slope of 3/12( 3" rise ever 12" ) however the notes state to match the existing motel entrance roof - the motel, which we constructed has a 6/12( 6" rise ever 12") roof slope much sharper.

Response: Shelter should match the pitch at the hotel. The existing shelter plans were provided for informational purposes only.

3. Bidder question: Existing shelter has slate shingles - not standing seam. Someone mentioned that the new shelter has a standing seam roof - again notes states to match the existing entrance roof which is slate tile - much more expensive.

Response: Shelter should match the hotel. The existing shelter plans were provided for informational purposes only.

4. Bidder question: Existing shelter design has cross beam bearing and drawings show a direct truss bearing? The bid documents show the engineered wood timbers directly setting on the masonry columns. To match existing, you need a cross beam bearing on the masonry columns and then the engineered wood timbers would set on cross beam.

Response: Shelter should match the other shelters. The existing shelter plans were provided for informational purposes only.

5. Bidder question: Existing MACA Hotel have gutters? - Existing roof system has gutters-no gutters shown on bid documents?

Response: Contractor is responsible for submitting a plan to meet the requirements. The existing shelter plans were provided for informational purposes only.

6. Bidder question: We understand that the white nose washing station was custom built as there is no manufacturer constructing them. Can we be provided additional details of its construction?

Response: See the attached hand sketch for the existing station. Bidder must be aware of Note 3 on Detail 646-A which states that a new station must be a recessed unit. A movable station currently on site will not be accepted.

7. Bidder Question: Do the Superintendent, SSHO, and QC Manager need to be three separate individuals?

Response: The Superintendent and SSHO can be combined. The QC manager can have no other duties as described in Subsection 153.02.

Response: No.

13. Bidder question: Please clarify construction phasing in relation to utility relocations that must be completed prior to site work.
