needed?

A6. Limited clearing and grubbing will be allowed within the Public ROW only following City approval. Clearing should be limited to the minimum possible to construct the project. The

Contractor should assume no clearing within the creek bed or wetland area will be allowed, other than minimal disturbance needed to install required temporary erosion controls.

Q7. The 4” thick slab coming in between the existing panel wall and the new sheet pile wall how it will be connected to these two sides or will it simply rest on top?

A7. The slab will rest on top of the ground and will not be attached/anchored to the existing wall or the sheet pile/concrete cap.

Q8. Clarify if the road is completely closed for traffic during the sheet pile driving operation what will be alternate route or detour?

A8. Per the third Maintenance of Traffic note on Sheet C-2 of the plans, the contractor will be allowed to close N. Winter Park Drive twice during construction for two five-day intervals. The road must be open on the weekends. Specific guidance on the detour requirements are included this same section of the notes, but it will be the Contractor’s responsibility to submit a formal detour plan for review and approval by the City prior to the closures.

Q9. Is there any engineer’s budget for this project?

A9. Please refer to Response A1 of this Addendum.

Q10. Is it mandatory to use American made sheet pile as per buy American clause?

A10. Please refer to Response A2 of this Addendum.

Q11. Is the City going to provide staging area for contractor free of charge?

A11. The City intends to provide use of the City-owned site described in the “Contractor Lay-Down

Area” notes on Sheet C-2 of the plans as a lay down area free of charge for this project.

However, the Contractor is responsible for meeting all requirements discussed in the same section of the notes.

Q12. As per sheet C-2 sheet pile specs please confirm it is going to be the contractor’s choice to use vibratory hammers or Giken press in machine to drive the sheet piles in the ground?

A12. The Contractor may elect to use vibration or Giken method of installation. The vibration method requires monitoring as discussed in the “Installation of Sheet Piling” notes on Sheet C-2 of the plans. Regardless of installation method chosen, the Contractor will be responsible for any damage to public or private property that results from the construction activities associated with this project. It is in the Contractor’s best interest, therefore, to carefully document pre-existing conditions and to proceed cautiously during sheet pile installation.

Q13. As per bid form attachment F item 5 & 6 “monitor existing structures inspection and settlement”

& ““monitor existing structures vibration”, clarify what type of structures needs to be monitored i.e. bridge, houses etc.? Is this monitoring and inspection only required during the pile driving operation?

A13. That section of the plans identifies Section 108 of The Florida Department of Transportation

Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (2017) which provides monitoring distance parameters. Please refer to Attachment “W”, Florida Department of Transportation

In other words, everything should be monitored within the distance envelope identified in FDOT, Section 108.

III. CHANGES, ADDITIONS AND/OR CLARIFICATIONS

CLARIFICATIONS:

CLARIFICATION #1: On Sheet C-3: Sheet piling: each PZ35 sheet pile is 22.64 inches in width center-to-center (laying length). Therefore, there are 90 sheets parallel to the roadway and the length is
