Please find the following addendum to the below-mentioned BID.

Addendum No.: 1

Bid#: 26-32-2

Project Name: Utility Point of Repair

Bid Due Date: Tuesday, June 23, 2026

GENERAL INFORMATION:

1. MUNICIPAL AND PUBLIC WORK CONSTRUCTION has been added as a qualifying classification

2. Contractor’s Errors and Omissions is not required and has been removed from the Insurance

Requirements.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:

Question 1. Do proposal Items 2007 through 2013 on pages 6 and 7 include any valves?

Answer 1. No. Measurement and payment of stainless-steel tapping sleeve are covered by bid items 2007 through 2013. Payment shall constitute compensation for complete installation of tapping sleeves, including tap. Valves shall be separately paid under the respective bid items in Sections 3 and 4.

Question 2. Using proposal Item 2009 as an example, is this interpreted as a tapping sleeve for an 8-inch valve and attached to a pipe that is at least 8 inches in diameter but could be as large as 16 inches in diameter?

Answer 2. The sizes denoted for tapping sleeves are based on the diameter of the water main or sewer force main to be tapped and connected to. For example, if a 4” water main will connect to an existing 12” water main, payment will made under “FURNISH

& INSTALL/ TEST/ TAP SS SLEEVE – 12” X ALL SIZES”.

Question 3. Proposal Item 3070 on page 19 has a quantity of 4 and a unit measure of EA. Is this correct?

Answer 3. Line item has been corrected to a quantity of 400 and a unit measure of Linear Feet.

http://www.stpgov.org/

Question 4. In general, where the proposal form uses the notation of “HPDE”, should this read

“HDPE”?

Answer 4. The approved by pipe material is high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

Question 5. If the contractor must tie into a water main or sewer force main and a tapping sleeve and valve is not used, how will payment be made for the tie in?

Answer 5. Tie-ins on water mains and sewer force mains not using a tapping sleeve shall be done with the appropriate ductile iron fittings, valves, and other required appurtenances. Payment for these items shall be made in accordance with applicable specifications in the sections

Question 6. Proposal Items 4062 and 4063 on page 33 use the language “Up 2” Pipe”. This language is repeated in the specifications for this item of work. Is this “Up to 2”

Pipe” diameter?

Answer 6. Bid items 4062 and 4063 for long and short side water service connections are for polyethylene (PE) water service lines up to 2” in diameter.

Question 7. Will valves only be used when new main line utilities are installed? If not and a valve is installed into an existing water or sewer force main will a point repair pay item also be used to install the valve?

Answer 7. A combination of applicable items shall be used to install new valves on existing sewer or water mains. The combination of bid items shall be mutually agreed upon by the contractor and St. Tammany Parish prior to proceeding with the repair.

Payment for these items shall be in accordance with the applicable specification sections.

Question 8. The specifications for proposal item 3102 “Resetting Existing Manhole Rings &

Covers” is unclear. Are the rings riser rings? Are the rings flaring rings attached to the structure? Is the cost to remove or replace any pavement included with this item?

Answer 8. This item is for resetting and resecuring existing manhole covers and supporting frame on existing manholes. Payment for precast concrete riser rings or bricks required to reset the manhole cover and supporting frame to the correct grade shall be made under the “ADJUSTING SEWER MANHOLE” item. Payment for removal and replacement of pavement shall be made under the applicable bid items

Question 9. Are the valves for fire hydrants paid for under the “Valve” items?

Answer 9. Yes, an isolation valve as shown on the fire hydrant detail shall be paid separately under the applicable item.

Question 10. Will adapters and transition couplings be paid for under proposal item 2014

“Ductile Fittings & Accessories All Types All Sizes”? For example, HDPE to PVC adapters / Couplings.

Answer 10. There shall be no direct payment for Harvey adapters, transitional couplings or similar adapters required to connect HDPE pipes to other dissimilar pipe materials.

Question 11. Please add another 24 hours to the requirement of mobilizing on a task order in 72 hours. It now takes 72 hours for a LA One Call ticket to take effect, moving on a job before the LA One Call ticket is processed is not a reasonable request.

Answer 11. The contractor shall submit his utility locate request to Louisiana One Call (811) within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving a written request for service. The contractor shall be allotted seventy-two (72) hours to allow utility owners to respond to the utility locate request. The contractor shall commence repair of sewer and/or water facilities within twenty-four (24) hours of this allotment period.
