NOTICES TO CONTRACTOR

FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (FDOT) CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT REQUIREMENTS

The Project includes work within FDOT right of way and is therefore subject to the requirements of the FDOT Construction Agreement included as an Appendix 6 attachment. Although this Project is not funded by FDOT, the Contractor shall comply with all applicable provisions of the FDOT Construction Agreement, including project-specific requirements, technical specifications, design and construction standards, maintenance of traffic requirements, insurance requirements, permitting obligations, and indemnification provisions. The Contractor is responsible for reviewing Appendix 6 – FDOT Construction Agreement in its entirety and incorporating all applicable requirements into its work plan, means and methods, and project execution activities. The provisions of the Construction Agreement shall apply to all work performed within or affecting FDOT right of way.

GEOTECHNICAL REPORT

The Contractor’s attention is directed to the Geotechnical Report dated August 2022 (Appendix 6). The report summarizes the results of a geotechnical subsurface exploration.

The Contractor shall ensure that foundation subgrade conditions are properly evaluated and prepared prior to construction. Adequate proof-rolling, foundation preparation, and compaction are essential to achieving uniform foundation support and long-term performance. Foundation dimensions shall be appropriately designed for the anticipated loading conditions to provide adequate bearing capacity and minimize settlement.
