Contractor Questions and Answers:

• Question #1:

If there is a geotechnical report available, could you please share that with us?

o Answer #1:

There is no geotechnical report available.

• Question #2:

Cantsink manufactures a 2.875" (OD) sch40 HSS pile capable of achieving an ultimate load of 60 kips, with a torque rating of 6,700 ft-lbs (see attached). Would you consider approving the use of these piles as an alternate to the GoliathTech piles spec'd?

o Answer #2:

The piles indicated in the specs were intended to illustrate a basis of design, and were not intended to be a flat-spec. Alternate piles can be considered and may be approvable via shop drawing review after the construction contractor is awarded.

A complete review of the Cantsink piles will not be undertaken at this time, but a cursory review suggests that they are similar to the basis of design.

• Question #3:

In the interest of level setting the bids for this portion of the project, would you consider establishing a bid depth for the piles?

o Answer #3:

The Helical Pile Schedule on S-001 states a minimum pile depth of 7'-0".

• Question #4:

Could you provide some clarity regarding how many piles will be terminated with a timber bracket vs how many will use a new construction cap?

o Answer #4:

For bid purposes, assume Qty (7) Saddle Connection or SST CCO4.62, and Qty (6) Concrete Cap Plate

Gender-Based Violence and the Workplace Certification

New York State Finance Law §139-M requires bidders on competitive state procurements to certify that they have a written policy addressing gender-based violence and the workplace and that such policy meets the following minimum requirements:

● Share Information: Employers must provide information regarding gender-based violence where employees can see and access it, including displaying the NYS Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline information and a gender-based violence and the workplace poster.

● Refer Employee-Survivors to Services: The policy must require that the employer refer employees who disclose current or past victim status to the NYS Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline and/or a local service provider. For bidders outside of New York State, referrals should be made to a local provider or statewide hotline. While referrals are required to be provided by the employer, it is not required for the employee to access services.

● Prohibit Retaliation: The policy must clearly state that discrimination or retaliation against employees who identify as victims or survivors of gender-based violence is prohibited.

● Comply with Laws: Ensure your policy follows State law. For employers based in New York State, this means that the policy must follow the SAFE Leave Act, New York State Human Rights Law, and any other relevant laws and regulations.

● Offer Implementation Support: OPDV is able to assist employers in developing and implementing this policy. Employers must provide information to supervisors and human resources, where available, about this technical assistance from OPDV. OPDV can be contacted at workplace@opdv.ny.gov.

By submission of this bid, each bidder and each person signing on behalf of any bidder certifies, and in the case of a joint bid each party thereto certifies as to its own organization, under penalty of perjury, that the bidder has and has implemented a written policy addressing gender-based violence and the workplace and has provided such policy to all of its employees, directors and board members. Such policy shall, at a minimum, meet the requirements of subdivision 11 of section five hundred seventy-five of the executive law.
