About this file
This is Addendum #2 to a construction bid issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the Big Shoals State Park Trail Bridges Replacement project (BDC17-25/26). The addendum addresses five key questions raised by bidders regarding project logistics and specifications. Bidders must sign and return this addendum with their bid submissions to Brandon Williams, Contracts Specialist, at the Bureau of Design and Construction in Tallahassee, with failure to do so potentially resulting in bid rejection.
The addendum clarifies critical project requirements: the parking lot may serve as a laydown and delivery area for materials, including the four 71-foot-long beams, pending coordination with park staff and biologist regarding a nearby gopher tortoise nest; contractors must provide environmental mats to cross creeks and wetlands to prevent soil disturbance; any tree trimming for aerial clearance requires prior approval from park staff and biologist; concrete deadends may be precast with required shop drawing submissions for each bridge; and pilings must meet a 12-foot depth requirement with specifications detailed in the project's geotechnical report. These clarifications supersede and supplement corresponding items in the original specifications and drawings, with all other contract documents remaining in full force and effect.
