About this file

This Addendum Number 1, dated September 19, 2022, pertains to the Parker Engineering Project PE21101 for the 2021 Millen CDBG in the City of Millen, Georgia. The addendum addresses contractor questions regarding acceptable materials for manhole rehabilitation and monolithic liner portions of the project. Specifically, the Owner/Engineer approved three Vortex product alternatives: Quadex I&I Guard-PRF (Vortex) as an acceptable infiltration control grout material for manhole rehabilitation; Quadex Hyperform (Vortex) as an acceptable patching material equal to Strong-Seal for manhole rehabilitation; and Quadex QM-1S (Vortex) as an acceptable cementitious resurfacer equal to SewperCoat or Strong-Seal MS-2A for the monolithic liner portion. Bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum by inserting its number in their bid form Section 00400, with failure to do so potentially resulting in disqualification.

The addendum includes technical data sheets for the approved Vortex products detailing their specifications, performance characteristics, application methods, and warranty information. I&I Guard-PRF is a two-part polyurethane grout with a 3-5 second reaction time designed to stop high-flow infiltration up to 50 gallons per minute. Hyperform is a one-component rapid-setting patching material achieving compressive strengths exceeding 7,000 psi at 28 days, supplied in 60-pound bags. QM-1s Restore is a Portland cement-based fiber-reinforced mortar achieving compressive strengths exceeding 9,000 psi at 28 days, designed for vertical and overhead repairs to concrete or masonry structures. All products include standard Quadex warranties covering defects in material and workmanship for one year from purchase.
