Clarifying Questions and Answers from Pre Bid Conference on 6~1.pdf

This document is a record of Clarifying Questions and Answers from a Pre-Bid Conference on June 23, 2025, for the Oregon Department of State Lands' Wasson Boardwalk Construction and Installation project. The document addresses specific technical inquiries about the boardwalk construction, including the acceptability of a potentially loose piling and verification of piling plumbness. Participants were informed that the framing plan is designed to "lock" the entire boardwalk system, and slight adjustments to pilings may be permissible to achieve specified elevations and slopes. The document confirms that the distance from the gravel road to the boardwalk is approximately 500 feet, and provides a deadline of Wednesday, June 25th at 10am for vendors to submit any further questions directly to Michelle Johnson, the Contracts Officer.

The pre-bid conference document does not provide detailed pricing information or funding sources, but it is part of a broader procurement process for a boardwalk construction project within the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve. The document suggests that the project involves constructing a boardwalk on 38 pre-installed helical piles and requires careful adherence to specific installation guidelines. Vendors are directed to reference Section 31-6615 3.01.B. for manufacturers' installation requirements and recommendations. The document serves as a supplementary resource for potential bidders, offering clarification on technical aspects of the boardwalk construction and providing a point of contact for additional inquiries.
