BDC Bid No. BDC35-23/24, Addendum #4, Page 2 of 2
4. Question: Will tubing be limited or shut down during the project duration?
Answer: No.
5. Question: Are TimberGuard or equal piles required for all piling locations?
Answer: Pile specs are on S101 - TimberGuard is NOT required. Call-out on Detail G sheet S201 mentions TimberGuard but should be disregarded.
6. Question: Will PDA test be required on test piles?
Answer: No.
7. Question: Full time engineer monitoring for all piling installation?
Answer: Archaeological monitoring will be needed for any ground disturbance.
However, a geotechnical engineer is not required. Contractor can acquire and maintain the data of a geotechnical engineer.
8. Question: Wire mesh rail - 1.5 or 2x2?
Answer: 2x2
9. Question: Handrails - thermo plastic or aluminum?
Answer: Aluminum
10. Question: Can WearDeck be a substitute for Lumber Rock?
Answer: Based on the structural properties, WearDeck has equivalent strength values. Yes, it can be a substitute.
11. Question: It looks like they are specifying TimberGuard piles for the whole boardwalk. Usually, they are reserved for wet areas only. That is a lot of money (probably somewhere in the ballpark of $150,000). Suggest maybe using regular piles until you get toward the bottom of the hill and then switch to TimberGuard.
Answer: Pile specs are on S101. TimberGuard is NOT required. Call-out on Detail G sheet S201 mentions TimberGuard – disregard this call-out.
12. Question: They are calling for full-time 3rd party engineer monitoring during pile installation.
Answer: Archaeological monitoring will be needed for any ground disturbance.
However, a geotechnical engineer is not required. Contractor can acquire and maintain the data of a geotechnical engineer.
In all other respects, the contract documents of which this is an Addendum, and attachments relative thereto, shall remain in full force and effect.
