About this file
This is an Addendum 2 to an Invitation to Bid (ITB) issued by the Oconee County Board of Commissioners for ITB# 26-03-011 Bridge Repairs, dated April 10, 2026. The addendum modifies the original solicitation documents from March 19, 2026, and addresses clarifications requested by prospective bidders regarding bridge repair scope and specifications across multiple bridge locations. The addendum references lane closure restrictions detailed in pre-bid meeting minutes and confirms an updated scope of work for Simonton Bridge Road painting that includes the full length of steel beams in Spans 3 and 4 plus bearing assemblies. Questions regarding the solicitation were accepted until 5:00 pm on April 6, 2026, and should be directed to Ms. Jessica Ellis, Procurement Officer, at ocbids@oconee.ga.us.
The addendum provides critical clarifications on scour repair methodology for both Simonton Bridge Road and Barnett Shoals Road locations. For Simonton Bridge Road's bent 4 column 1 footing, repair shall be completed by placing Type 1 Rip Rap around the footing rather than concrete encasement, as the exposed material indicates surface erosion rather than footing undermining. Similarly, scour repairs at Barnett Shoals Road for Bents 2, 3, and 4 shall also utilize Type 1 Rip Rap placement to ensure consistent pricing across all bidders. The addendum notes that plan sets for the existing Simonton Bridge Road bridge over Middle Oconee are not available for distribution to bidders.

Addendum 2
DATE: April 10, 2026
TO: All Prospective Bidders
FROM: Procurement Officer
RE: ITB# 26-03-011 Bridge Repairs
The following changes are to be incorporated into the solicitation documents dated March 19, 2026. All those receiving this addendum should modify their documents to show the below described changes.
Responses to questions received prior to the deadline of 5:00 pm on April 6, 2026.
All questions shall be directed to Ms. Jessica Ellis, Procurement Officer via email at ocbids@oconee.ga.us
1. Will the county please provide lane closure restrictions for each of the bridge locations?
Please refer to the pre-bid meeting minutes for lane closure restrictions.
2. Will the county confirm that the scope of painting for Simonton Bridge Road now includes the full length of the steel beams in Span 3 & 4 and the bearing assemblies?
Please refer to updated scope of work issued with Addendum 1.
3. The Simonton Bridge Road bridge inspection report states “Repair scour at bent 4 column 1 footing exposed.” It is unclear what method of scour repair is required at this location. Typical scour repair for pile bents includes a concrete encasement to 2 feet below the mudline, however there is no GDOT repair method for spread footing encasements. And based on the way the inspection report reads, it does not sound like the bottom of the footing has scoured out, but rather the material that was at one time covering the top of the footing has eroded away.
Considering this, we believe the most appropriate repair for this location would be to place Type 1 Rip Rap around the footing to prevent further loss of material. Will the County please provide repair details or narrative of what is required so that all bidders are pricing the same thing.
Repair should be completed by placing Type 1 Rip Rap around the footing.
4. The Barnett Shoals Road inspection report states the same thing as Simonton Road about repairing scour around Bents 2, 3, & 4. Similar to Simonton Road, these footings do not appear to have undermining but rather have been exposed on top. We feel placing Type 1 Rip Rap around these footings is also the most appropriate repair but request the County to provide a repair detail or narrative so that all bidders are pricing the same thing.
Repair should be completed by placing Type 1 Rip Rap around the footing.
5. Could you please provide the plan sets for the existing bridge on Simonton Bridge Road over Middle Oconee?
Plans sets are not available for this bridge.
