751_22371 NCT over Carp River_Addendum 01.pdf

This Addendum No. 1, dated August 26, 2024, is issued by the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources for the North Country Trail over Carp River Bridge Replacement project (DTMB File #751/22371.ABG). The addendum modifies the original contract documents dated July 26, 2024, and incorporates updates prior to the bid date of Wednesday, August 28, 2024. Key modifications include the addition of Wagner CFTUSA to the bridge supplier list for the prefabricated FRP pedestrian bridge special provision and clarification regarding stainless steel bearings, which may be eliminated if the bridge supplier proposes and the Engineer approves FRP bearings as an alternative. A pre-bid meeting attendance record and site photos are attached for contractor reference.

The addendum establishes an important environmental requirement: all tree clearing must be approved by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources prior to removal. Contractors are required to mark trees designated for removal and request an on-site meeting with MDNR personnel to review the clearing plan before proceeding with any removal activities. This clarification ensures compliance with state environmental regulations and project-specific requirements for the bridge replacement work.
