Seed Project Questions

15. The drawing shows new sidewalk constructed on the north side of North Street extending west to tie into existing sidewalk at Central. Are we replacing the existing low profile curb and gutter in this area? Will we adjust the elevation of the manhole or relocate the sidewalk to get around the manhole and tie into the existing sidewalk?

a. Tie in to the existing sidewalk and curb. Do not stray around the manhole. Do not adjust the height of the manhole.

16. The estimated quantity of 4” sidewalk shown in paragraph 3.4 of the statement of work seems low for the sidewalk designated on the drawing. I think the quantity is closer to 940 LF of 4’ wide sidewalk equaling

3,760 SF of sidewalk.

a. Quantities adjusted

17. The drawing shows new sidewalk and curb and gutter on the north side of North Street extending from the railroad tracks towards East Loop with new parking lot pavement paved to the back of the sidewalk. Paving to the back of the sidewalk in this area will; make for some interesting grade changes in the asphalt and invite people to drive over the sidewalk. Do you want to pave immediately behind the sidewalk or leave a 10’ gravel surfaced area between the back of the sidewalk and the parking lot paving?

a. Yes, pave immediately behind sidewalk.

18. Do you want any handicap ramps (CLIN 071) constructed as part of this project?

a. Pour transitions as mentioned in the SOW.

19. The estimated MMA quantity shown in paragraph 4.5 of the statement of work seems high. With curb and gutter on both sides of the road for most of the project length do you want 4” white MMA fog line on this project? If double yellow center line stripes are the only 4” lines required the estimated quantity of

MMA should be closer to 825 LF.

20. Do you want to repaint any parking lot striping or the stop bar at the end of East Loop?

a. No parking lot lines, yes for the stop bar.

21. Paragraph 3.5 of the statement of work calls for topsoil and seeding, yet there is no quantity for either of these CLINs in the Seed Project bid schedule.

22. There is a concrete patch crossing North Street east of the back parking lot entrance into the Hotel. Is this here because of shallow/fragile utilities directly below? Are we to remove this concrete?

a. Do not remove. This is here as a cap to utilities.
