About this file
This document is Addendum 1 for a Concrete Walkway Replacement project issued by the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) for a location at 115-29 217th Street in Cambria Heights, NY. The addendum provides detailed responses to vendor questions regarding the project specifications, including confirmation that no contract drawings will be issued, the concrete slab thickness will be 4.5 inches, and the contractor is responsible for confirming the final walkway layout and elevation. The solicitation date is 04/25/2025, with bids due on 06/11/2025, and the document was updated on 04/13/2025.
The addendum clarifies several key project details, such as the requirement to use metal wire mesh instead of fiber mesh concrete, the inclusion of the adjacent curb in the current scope of work, and the need for contractors to handle utility mark-out and permits. OPWDD will conduct work inspections and hold a preliminary meeting, and ADA compliance details for walkway transitions will be discussed after the bid is won. The document emphasizes that contractors should incorporate all provided information into their project estimates, with no change orders anticipated for the curb work, which was discussed in a prior meeting.

2. Who is responsible for confirming the final layout, elevation, and pitch direction of the walkway — contractor or OPWDD rep? Contractor.

7. What procedure is followed for inspection before pour, and who signs off? OPWDD Checks on work as it starts and has a meeting beforehand.

9. Is any ADA compliance (ramp pitch, tactile warning) required for walkway transitions? Will discuss once bid is won.
10. Is the curb adjacent to the sidewalk included in the current scope of work? Yes, was told to all contractors.
11. If not, should this be handled via a change order, or would you prefer we submit an RFI and alternate pricing for that portion separately? No change order curb was included in meeting.
12. Will contract drawings or street elevation details be issued that clarify curb height, line, or tie-in requirements? NO
Please be sure to include this information in your estimates.
