1. Question and answers

Signature Title Company Name

Q1. Will the county confirm that the gas line near the work site will be moved prior to Notice to Proceed?

A1. Yes. Cartersville Gas has plans to relocate and should be completed with their project prior to the start of this project.

Q2. Section 3.0.6.a of the specifications (Page 17 of 129) lists a "Federal Aid Certification Form" as required with the bid. Other sections of the proposal's list of required documents do not include this form and it does not appear in the specifications. Will the County please clarify if this form is required and please provide a copy if so.

A2. No. The form is not required since we are not receiving Federal Aid for this project.

Q3: Please indicate the milling limits on the plans.

A3: See revised plans, “Appendix A” linked below.

Q4. Please provide a copy of the Bridge Foundation Investigation Report (including borings/logs and recommendations) so the required pilot hole depths can be verified.

A4. See “Appendix B” linked below.

Q5: Please confirm the rock socket requirement: Do all eight (8) pilot holes receive a 5-foot rock socket, or do only the four (4) abutment pilot holes receive a 5-foot rock socket?

A5. All 8 Piles receive a 5' socket.

Q6: Please provide details for the 10-inch structural concrete pavement widening.

A6: See Bartow County Standard Detail ENG-43, included in “Appendix C”, linked below.

Q7: Please confirm whether asphalt leveling is required? The typical sections suggest that a leveling course may be needed

A7: Yes, leveling course is required.

Q8: Load testing, please confirm that the contractor is to provide third party testing of the bridges. Are there any other test requirements other than load testing that are required?

A8: Since pilot holes will be used, no load test is required. This note will be removed.

Q9: The plans note removal & replacement of rip rap. No rip rap was noted during our site visit. Are we to provide rip rap if so, can you provide Qty. s required for each of the bridges along with the size?

A9: If no rip rap is located on site, no new rip rap is required. But changed the note to include debris and spalled concrete remnants.

Q10: Polymer coatings, are they required? And if so, does it get applied directly to the SPS system or over the new pavement?

A10: The only overlay required on the bridge is the copolymer asphalt overlay.

Q11: Geo technical report, During the pre-bid it was mentioned that a geotechnical report was prepared, can you provide a copy of the report. Does the report cover Wave Equation Analysis?

A11: See “Appendix B” linked below.

Q12: Is both copolymer and polymer needed?

A12: Copolymer is needed only for weatherproofing. Polymer pay item has been deleted.

See revised plans with addendum revision in “Appendix A”.
