About this file
This document is an Addendum (No. 1) issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve Briggs Boardwalk project, Bid No. BDC60-24/25. The addendum addresses key modifications and clarifications to the original bid, specifically noting the removal of the parking lot work from the project scope. The document provides responses to three specific questions from potential bidders, including confirmation that the boardwalk design remains unchanged and that the department intends to contract with the lowest responsive bidder.
The addendum clarifies that the previous $2,000,000 budget estimate was not the reason for bid cancellation, and provides technical guidance on piling installation requirements. Specifically, for roof structure pilings, the document outlines precise conditions for pile penetration, defining "practical refusal" as 20 blows per inch or less than one inch penetration, with specific hammer and rebound criteria. If these refusal conditions are met during driving, contractors may cut the pile without achieving the full 25-foot penetration, provided the refusal criteria are documented and satisfied in the field. Bidders are required to sign and include this addendum with their bid submission to Laurinda Micheels at the Bureau of Design and Construction.

Signature of Contractor and Date
The following statements supersede & supplement the corresponding items in the specifications & drawings:
1. Question: Please confirm removal of the parking lot work is the difference in scope between previous April and a new bid. Please confirm the scope and design of the boardwalk itself remained unchanged. If not please list major differences.
Answer: The parking lot was removed from the bid. The successful bidder will be responsible for all work in the contract documents for this bid.
2. Question: Please confirm $2,000,000 budget estimate in April bid was not the reason for bid cancellation. With parking lot being approximately 10% or less of the bid will contract be still awarded to the responsive bidder if bid is significantly over $2,000,000?
Answer: No, it was not the reason for bid cancellation. Our intent is to contract with the apparent lowest and responsive bidder per the bid documents.

3. Question: Based on the revised drawings there is a new piling penetration required for pilings attached to the roof structures of 25'. Is there an allowance if refusal is met while driving the pilings, adjusting the requirement to less than 25'?
Answer: Per the structural general notes on Sheets S102 and S103 of the signed construction plans, the specified 25'-0" minimum embedment depth applies unless refusal is encountered. The plans define practical refusal as follows:
"20 blows per inch or less than one inch penetration, with the hammer operating at the highest setting determined by the engineer and less than ¼ inches rebound per blow, then pile shall be cut to required height."
Accordingly, if these conditions for refusal are met during driving, the pile may be cut without achieving the full 25 feet of penetration. No additional authorization is required, provided the refusal criteria are documented and satisfied in the field.
In all other respects, the contract documents of which this is an Addendum, and attachments relative thereto, shall remain in full force and effect.
