Questions and Answers During Advertisement for AZ FTBR SALT 80(1) Horse Mesa Bridge

Tuesday, October 11, 2022

Questions Answers

1 Are there any weight limitations on the existing bridge at the new bridge site? The weight limit for the existing bridge at the new bridge site is 45 tons.

2 Can bidders send their bid package to the address that offers are required to be delivered to by FedEx?

Yes. Packages must be received by the bid date and time but can be delivered by hand or by courier.

3 Is there a water source near the site? The contractor will have to provide potable water but for dust control or concrete lake water will be available.

4 Will FHA consider a one-week postponement of the bid date?

Yes, we will extend the bid by one week. I will post an Amendment to the solicitation to extend the bid to 10/18/2022, 2pm MDT. Please visit the SAM.gov solicitation notice to see the Amendment.

5 I wanted to clarify the start date for this contract is after 04/13/2023 – and if there would be any leeway on this start date?

The start of the on-site ground disturbing activities are scheduled to start after 04/13/2023. The other project activities could start with the issuance of the NTP, tentatively scheduled for 11/28/2022.

Since majority of the scope for this project is the pre-fabricated steel bridge, we have developed the schedule to include one mobilization activity for the contractor and to minimize the duration for the on-site activities. This will allow the contractor to perform bridge design, obtain bridge design approvals and start the pre-fabrication process before having to mobilize and install the bridge.

In developing the scheduled we have envisioned the contractor to construct the abutments and get the site ready for the installation of the bridge as the pre-fabrication process is being finalized. Once the bridge is pre-fabricated and is ready to be delivered to the site, the contractor will have the abutments ready to set the bridge in place and finish up the project.
