ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS ADDENDUM BY INSERTING ITS NUMBER IN THE

PROPOSAL; FAILURE TO DO SO MAY SUBJECT BONA FIDE BIDDER TO DISQUALIFICATION.

THIS ADDENDUM FORMS A PART OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS; IT MODIFIES THEM AS

FOLLOWS:

RFI Question:

1. If we build the monument the way the architects have drawn it, we believe it’s going to sink. Each wall should be built off the original subgrade—not off compacted fill, as shown in the plans. They label it as “compacted subgrade,” but no matter how well we compact, we don’t think it’ll hold. We feel a lot better if we go off undisturbed soil. What would you best recommend? Please see sheet 40- 01 Details Addendum 1

23. Do we need to include any engineering costs in our bid? No need for an Engineer.

24. On 40-02, we have a deep foundation detail and a shallow foundation detail. Do we know which will be required? Shallow Foundation Detail for a 8’ x 20’ see detail located on 40-02.

25. I don’t see that we have a typical sidewalk detail? Typical Section located on sheet 05-01.

26. But on page 40-03, we have a ramp and stair detail. Would the welded wire and sand base shown

(and vapor barrier) in those details be applicable to all sidewalks? No, the application is only for steps and ramp.

27. On the foundation & slab for the CXT shelter, we don’t have a design for that. We have a detail with some basic information on 40-02, but don’t know much more other than 64 SY. 40-02 says combination of rock base and “reinforced slab” shall be 12” thick. Todd has a note on 13-10 that design is by others. So I’m just curious how that should be handled for bidding purposes. We are to include 64 SF of concrete, but how thick, how is it reinforced, etc.? The proposed restroom slab will be constructed of 8” of GAB, the restroom will be prefabricated with its own slab. The Slab for the shelter will be 6” concrete with fiber reinforcement.

28. Do we need to include termite pretreat under the slab for the CXT shelter? Yes.

29. It looks like we are missing exhibit 1 and exhibit 2 in specifications. The American rescue plan and wage rates? Please see updated link for plans and Specifications.

30. It looks like this project is for a fixed aluminum dock with gray composite decking. Would you be willing to consider a Floating alternative? Yes, we would consider a floating alternative.
