The solicitation is amended as provided herein. Information or changes resulting from questions will be shown in a question-and-answer format. All questions received have been reprinted below.

underlined text is added to the original provision. Stricken text is deleted. [02-2A097-1]

Q-1 The Solicitation documents state this project will be evaluated on a unit price basis however page 33 seems to be requesting prices on a lump sum basis as the Quantity is 1 for each Line Number.-Please clarify.

A-1 See below A-2, A-3, and A-4

Q-2 Line Number 0001- Is this price for materials only-should the quantity be 552 LF in lieu of 1.

A-2 Line Item 0001 is the lump sum price of all materials

Q-3 Line Number 0002- should this price be per day or lump sum?

A-3 Line Item 0002 is the lump sum price for traffic control to complete the project.

Q-4 Line Number 0003-is this price submission for labor only to install fence including the requested core drilling-should the quantity be 552 LF in lieu of 1.

A-4 Line Item 0003 is the lump sum price for the full installation to complete this project.

Q-5 Will the railing be installed on the flat top of the parapet wall only and not on the tapered end sections?

A-5 Yes, the railing will be installed on the flat top of the parapet wall. However, there is no tapered portion on this bridge.

Q-6 Finally, our cursory inspection of the site leads us to believe that the measurement for the two walls is less than 552 LF- do we need to verify that?

A-6 On the South side of the bridge, from the end of the Parapet wall to the other end of the parapet wall was 276’ 10”

On the North side of the bridge, from the end of the Parapet wall to the other end of the parapet wall was 278’ 5”

This adds up to 555’3”. The 552 would be that 555 minus a small bit to inset on each corner due to mounting logistics.

The following has been removed from Section III. Scope of Work/Specifications:

Expansion Joint

The fence shall not span past the bridge expansion joints. A post shall be placed on each side of the expansion joints. There shall be not more than a three (3) inch gap between fence edges on each side of the expansion joints.
