ADDENDUM NO. 2 – St. Helen Bridge over Marsh Creek
This addendum, issued by the State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), modifies the contract documents for the St. Helen Bridge over Marsh Creek project (DTMB File #751/25246.RLO). The bid date is Wednesday, September 9, 2026. The addendum incorporates a Pre-Bid Meeting Sign-In Sheet, authorizes construction staging in the parking lot with site restoration requirements upon completion, permits improvements to the access road to remain after construction, and notes that MDNR will trim/cut oak trees along the trail corridor in fall 2026 to prevent access issues during construction. The addendum adds a Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control (SESC) Implementation Plan and Checklist to the technical specifications, incorporates Standard Detail sheets 9-16 to the contract drawings, and requires removal of existing timber retaining walls, fabric, and silt fence in each quadrant per Sheet 4.
SESC Requirements and Implementation
The SESC Implementation Plan is a priority requirement mandated prior to earthwork commencement. Contractors must prepare and submit a comprehensive plan indicating intended SESC implementation, schedule, and sequence for approval by the DTMB SESC Program. The plan must include written documentation of means and methods, dust control procedures, inspection and maintenance protocols, detailed mapping showing site location, soil type, drainage patterns, limits of earth change, stockpile locations, temporary and permanent SESC control measure locations, and construction sequencing. Temporary SESC controls must be installed and functioning before soil disturbance occurs and must remain in place until permanent stabilization is achieved. Regular inspections occur weekly and after significant rain events, with corrective actions required within 48 hours for routine maintenance and 24 hours if sediment impacts waterways. Non-compliance results in progressive enforcement actions including verbal and written directives, notice of noncompliance, work stoppage orders, and potential contract termination. The DTMB SESC Program Manager is Christopher J. McGarry (517.388.3045; mcgarryc@michigan.gov). All site work, restoration, and erosion control measures are measured and paid separately as part of the lump sum contract.

NATRUAL RESOURCES
SPECIAL PROVISION
FOR
SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION
CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
MDNR/OHM 1 of 4 08/2026
a. General. Perform work in accordance with Section 208 of the Michigan Department of Transportation, 2020 Standard Specifications for Construction and the Michigan Department of Management and Budget’s Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Guidebook, including any supplemental specifications, except as modified herein. Any discrepancies between the MDOT and DTMB requirements shall default to the more restrictive requirement as determine by the Professional.
This work includes writing, submitting, implementing and maintaining a Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control (SESC) Implementation Plan.
Soil erosion and sedimentation control (SESC) will be a priority during and after all phases of construction. Following the award of the contract, and prior to the start of earthwork, prepare and issue for approval a “SESC Implementation Plan", which indicates the contractor’s intended implementation of SESC on the project including a schedule and sequence. Attached is a checklist to provide assistance in writing the plan. The DTMB SESC Program, upon approval of the implementation plan, will issue to the contractor an Authorization to Proceed with Earth Change form to be posted at the jobsite. Soil erosion and sedimentation control measures included in the construction contractor’s approved implementation and sequencing plan, shall be placed and functioning before the soil is disturbed. All temporary control measures shall remain in place and be maintained until the impacted areas are permanently stabilized.
Identify off-site borrow and waste disposal areas as part of the implementation plan. The same consideration for controlling erosion and off-site sedimentation will apply to the borrow and waste disposal areas as applied to construction areas. When the contractor selects an off-site location for the borrow or waste disposal area, secure a SESC permit from the Authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) for approval prior to use of area(s). Ensure that appropriate SESC measures are implemented when off-site areas are permitted by the AHJ.
If DTMB is not the AHJ, provide to the SESC Program a copy of the Part 91 permit received from the AHJ before any off-site earthwork commences.
DTMB’s SESC Program will review the SESC plans to assure they include at a minimum all information required in R323.1703 of Part 91. As a minimum, provide temporary control measures complying with SESC control measures specified on the plans and the attached silt fence detail and specifications.
DTMB SESC Program staff include:
Christopher J. McGarry, SESC Program Manager Phone: 517.388.3045
Email: mcgarryc@michigan.gov DTMB Field Representative – Assigned to projects and identified at the preconstruction meeting
MDNR/OHM 2 of 4 08/26
Should anyone have questions regarding the procedures associated with the incorporation of soil erosion and sedimentation control measures into DTMB projects, please feel free to contact the DTMB SESC Program Manager.
b. Construction. All phases of construction and associated earthwork shall be undertaken by the Contractor as scheduled and in accordance with the SESC implementation plan. The SESC Program staff is responsible for ensuring that all SESC measures are properly installed in a timely manner, maintained, and are effectively controlling erosion and off-site sedimentation. Based on site conditions, the SESC Program inspection team may make minor adjustments to the overall SESC strategy such as relocating or adding silt fence, check dams, or modifying inlet protection controls.
Prior to starting work, the SESC Program Manager will notify the appropriate Part 91 County/Municipal Enforcing Agency of the proposed construction project including off-site borrow and waste disposal areas.
c. Inspections. Regular and post-rain event inspections will be conducted by DTMB Field Representatives with support from the SESC Program Manager. Then Contractor shall continuously monitor the project site and adjacent areas for ineffective SESC measures. At least weekly and after every significant rain (runoff leaves the site) the DTMB Field Representative, accompanied by a Contractor’s representative, will inspect all SESC measures on and off the site and document his/her observations on a SESC Inspection Report Form developed by the DTMB. The inspection report shall document at a minimum the following:
1) Date of Inspection
2) Name of inspector
3) Name of company representative
4) General weather conditions within last 48 hours
5) Is there a potential for sediment leaving the site?
6) Has sediment left the site since the last report? (Explain in detail)
7) SESC Controls
(a) Are controls installed per plan?
(b) Are the controls effective?
(c) Do the controls require maintenance?
8) Necessary corrective actions and information regarding who was notified and time limits for compliance.
Corrective actions shall be completed within 48 hours of discovery for routine maintenance items including but not limited to removing sediment from behind silt fences or check dams, replacing or adding silt fence, seeding and mulching small areas, and street sweeping.
Other necessary maintenance or corrective actions shall be completed as soon as possible but never more than five (5) days after detection.
SPECIAL NOTE: If sediment is impacting or there is a potential for sediment to impact lakes, streams, and wetlands, corrective actions will be completed within 24 hours.
d. Enforcement. Schedule of values for construction shall include separate line items for the sequencing of construction, installation, maintenance and removal of temporary
MDNR/OHM 3 of 4 08/26
SESC measures, and installation and maintenance of permanent SESC measures. The SESC Program and SESC inspection team will review and approve any payment application where the contractor is invoicing for SESC work performed. If the contractor fails to install, maintain or remove the controls, the Department of Technology, Management and Budget, with proper notification, will consider stopping work or directing the work to another company and paying with the monies identified in the schedule of values. In the event the cost to remediate exceeds the contracted amount, the original bonding company will be contacted regarding the shortfall.
DTMB may impose fines of at least $500 per day and assess actual damage costs if the contractor refuses to comply with SESC requirements and corrective measures. For bonded projects, the Surety Company will be held responsible for these costs in the event the contractor refuses to perform or is found to be in default.
Enforcement actions are as follows:
1. SESC Program inspects and documents SESC measures and effectiveness using SESC Inspection Report Form. Copies distributed to the Architect/Engineer, Region Supervisor, and SESC Program Manager.
2. If SESC measures are observed to be ineffective, SESC Program will verbally direct the contractor to take appropriate corrective measures and document the action taken.
Within 24 hours of issuing the verbal directions, written documentation shall be provided to the contractor.
3. Within 48 hours (24 hours if impacting waterways) of discovery and verbal notification, the contractor shall implement remedial actions. The SESC Program shall provide written documentation to the DTMB Region Supervisor and SESC Program Manager that corrective measures have been implemented by the contractor.
4. If the contractor fails to implement remedial actions within the specified time, DTMB (SESC Program Manager) shall provide written notice, sent certified mail, of “ Notice of Noncompliance with Part 91 of 1994 PA 451". This notification will outline fines and penalties to be imposed if corrective actions are not undertaken within a specified period of time (time dependent upon nature or the severity of violation).
5. For bonded projects the Surety Company shall be notified by a certified copy of the Notice of Noncompliance.
6. Continued inaction (after a 2nd notice regarding the same issue) by the contractor shall result in DTMB (Director of Design and Construction Division) issuing a Stop Work Order.
This order shall specifically identify where work is to cease, and identify a specified period of time that will be granted to the contractor before a third party contractor is hired by DTMB or the Surety Company to perform the required remediation.
7. Multiple Notice of Noncompliance citations (more than three for the same issue) will result in DTMB (Director of Design and Construction Division) initiating actions to terminate the contract for material breach.
MDNR/OHM 4 of 4 08/26
Site work, restoration, and erosion controls will be measured and paid for separately.
e. Measurement and Payment. The completed work, including writing the plan, scheduling and sequencing, and securing approval will be paid for as part of the Lump Sum contract.
