BDC Bid No. BDC09-24/25, Addendum #1, Page 2 of 3

1. Question: There is a question regarding the 10’’ Post embedment. In the general notes and specifications, it calls for the minimum embedment at 8’ . In the sight elevation drawing it is showing a post embedment at 15’. Is there any specification on which way the posts are driven in? Butt down or tip down?

Answer: Minimum embedment is 8’. Piles should be driven tip down.

2. Question: The Tech. Spec. Book calls out TREX decking for the boardwalk.

It does not specify if the decking thickness is 5/4" x 6" or 2" x 6". It also does not call out the color or product line.

Answer: Thickness is to be 2”x6”. Bid should be based on product line Trex Transcend (square edged) and color Island Mist.

3. Question: Please clarify the depth of the pilings. Depth is shown as 8' in two areas at Detail H and the unidentified section detail in the center of the page.

Detail 1 shows pile embedment as 15 feet.

Answer: Embedment depth is to be 8’.

4. Question: Please clarify pile spacing. Detail 1 shows a maximum of 6 feet, the unidentified detail at far-right center shows 10 feet, and the plans show 10 feet at most locations.

Answer: Pile spacing to be 10’ O.C..

5. Question: Detail 1 Boardwalk Elevation shows a 1x12 composite cap board, but the unidentified section in the center shows a 2x6 composite board.

Answer: Cap Board for Non-ADA section should be 2”x8”.

6. Question: Please confirm the width is 8'. The unidentified detail at far-right center shows 5' in one area for width, but just appears to be an error.

Answer: Confirmed that width is to be 8’.

7. Question: The top rail on the ADA viewing area, Detail 2, is PT 2" x 8".

However, it appears there is a composite board attached to the top rail but there are no specifications for this board. There is a 12" composite cap board in the ADA Detail, does the rail post size change or is there a PT backer?

Detail 1 refers to Detail 3 which is not shown, perhaps this detail would clarify these questions.

Answer: The composite board attached to the top rail should be 2”x8”. There is a 2”x12” PT backer on the ADA viewing area. Reference in D1 should be “See Detail 2 on this page”.

8. Question: Please identify the size of the top rail for the regular boardwalk sections (non-ADA viewing areas). The unidentified detail in the center of the page does not show the dimensions of this board.

Answer: Top Rail for non-ADA sections should match ADA section (2”x8”).

In addition, a geotechnical report and two ADA viewing details are hereby incorporated into the bid package and supersedes any originally posted with the bid
