Lake Fulmor Deck Replacement Questions & Answers

NOTE: THE DRAWINGS INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT DO NOT SHOW COMPLETE DETAILS AND

ARE REFERENCE FOR EXISTING CONDITIONS.

1) The section view on C1 does not indicate the hardware to be used to attach the replacement

6x6 angled bracing.

See NOTE #3 on the drawing C1.

2) The upper 6x6 brace has a flare at the top. Are these members to be cut from a 6x8 prior to treatment?

There are no flared ends on the any of the braces. There is an existing 4”x4” on the interior side of the railing, which attaches to the 6x6 bracing. The existing 4x4 is to be reused.

3) Sheet C3 indicates the method for attaching floor joists to posts at obtuse corners, however, no floor joists are called out as being replaced. What is the purpose of this sheet?

The sheet is for reference only. There is no work on the floor joists.

4) Sheet C4 indicates HD2’s added to joists at headwall. The elevations show new cast‐in anchor bolts for the HD’s and dimensions of what could be a new concrete curb, but no curb is specifically called out. Is a new concrete curb to be provided at these locations? Is it reinforced?

What is the construction of the path leading up to the pier?

The sheet is for reference only. There is no work required on the headwalls or paths.

5) The specifications call for the railings to be replaced with Ipe wood. However, the pricing Schedule of Items, Section B only lists treated douglas fir. Which is correct?

Railings to be DOUGLAS FIR. (See Amendment 1)

6) I have tried to determine where the pay item numbers in the Schedule of Items were derived from. There is nothing in Section 557 Timber Structures that corresponds to the numbers listed.

Please clarify what goes in each of the three bid items.

The ITEMS should read: 577(01) under all Pay Items and listed as a., b., c., and d., under description. They did not update when the estimate was generated. (See Amendment 1)
