About this file
This is an Addendum No. 1 to a solicitation issued by the State of Michigan Department of Environmental Quality through the Department of Technology, Management and Budget for soil excavation and disposal services at the Philadelphia Street Site in Lansing, Michigan. The project involves excavation and removal of petroleum-impacted soil, disposal of petroleum-impacted groundwater, backfill operations, and surface restoration including topsoil application and seeding, along with sidewalk removal and replacement. The bid schedule includes eight line items: mobilization and jobsite administration (1 lump sum), excavation and disposal of 4,900 tons of petroleum-impacted soil, removal and disposal of 4,000 gallons of petroleum-impacted groundwater, backfill with 3,400 tons of sand material, surface restoration with 300 cubic yards of topsoil, seeding of 11,625 square feet, sidewalk removal and replacement of 1,100 square feet, and demobilization and project closeout (1 lump sum). The pre-bid meeting was held prior to the addendum date, and the bid opening date was scheduled for April 10, 2019. The addendum was issued on April 3, 2019, and acknowledgement of receipt was required on the bid schedule for submission of a valid proposal.
The revised bid schedule includes an allowance amount of $20,000.00 and establishes unit and line-item pricing that bidders must complete. Key clarifications provided in the addendum address excavation depth specifications, sheet piling approval for wall stabilization, property boundary delineation, survey requirements limited to pre-excavation surveys only, cessation of excavation 1-2 feet into native clay, elimination of prevailing wage requirements, utility clearance procedures, allowance of equipment staging in the alley north of Parcel 1, and confirmation that payment for topsoil will be based on actual quantities as evidenced by truck tickets rather than placed volume. Material conversion factors were specified as 1.7 tons per cubic yard for excavated soil, 1.3 tons per cubic yard for sand, and 1.1 tons per cubic yard for topsoil. Bidders were required to acknowledge receipt of the addendum and any other addenda received prior to bid submission for the proposal to be considered valid.

TO ADDENDUM NO. 1
ANSWERS TO WRITTEN QUESTIONS
Question: The excavation is to be taken to the property boundary - Can you confirm this is just inside the inside edge of the existing sidewalks?
Answer: Yes, the property boundary is assumed to be at the inside edge of the existing sidewalks.
Question: For the 12' deep excavation along the property line, saturated sandy soils would seem to preclude an open cut, even with sloping. Assuming that sloping isn't allowed for this deep cut, is sheet pile assumed and approved for sidewalk and road protection?
Answer: Yes, sheet piling is an acceptable side-wall stabilization method if sloping is not sufficient. As part of the pre-work submittals, the work plan should include a stabilization plan.
Question: Can you clarify the survey requirements? Pre-excavation, post excavation, and post restoration all required?
Answer: A pre-excavation survey is required to delineate property boundaries. No other surveys are required.
Question: Is it expected that initial excavation will stop at native clays?
Answer: Excavation will likely stop 1-2 ft into the native clay, as determined by the professional and field screening observations.
Question: Per the LARA Web Site - "On June 6, 2018, Michigan’s Prevailing Wages on State Projects law, Act 166 of 1965 was repealed as the result of a legislative initiative; the repeal was given immediate effect. Wage and Hour, therefore, will no longer issue prevailing wage rates, and updates to surveys will not be made. Any survey or other prevailing wage information filed with Wage and Hour in the future will be returned to the sender." Is prevailing wage required and what schedule should be used?
Answer: Prevailing wages are not required.
Question: Do footings and underground utility lines remain from the previous facilities?
Answer: It is unknown if footings and underground utility lines remain from the previous facilities. A GPR survey conducted in 2016 identified two small subsurface anomalies within 4 ft of the ground surface (cut-off pipe and debris). Subsurface conditions below 4 ft are unknown.
Any abandoned utility service lines encountered during excavation will be properly cut and capped.
Question: Can the adjacent properties (i.e. alley north of Parcel 1 or strip of property beyond the trees west of Parcel 1) be used for trailer, frac tank, parking, etc?
Answer: The alley north of Parcel 1 may be used for staging of equipment. The property beyond the trees west of Parcel 1 may not be used for staging.
Question: Is the 1.5 foot cut on Parcel 1 relative to a specific datum or existing grade? Is the restored site supposed to maintain the preexisting grades or simply provide smooth grades that promote sheet flow drainage from the site?
Answer: The 1.5 foot cut on Parcel 1 is relative to existing grade. The restored site should be graded to pre-existing grades that promote sheet flow drainage from the site.
Question: Is a third party utility clearance required?
Answer: Yes, third party utility clearance is required prior to excavation.
Question: What duration should be anticipated to allow the Engineer time to do confirmatory testing and analysis prior to allowing backfill operations to proceed?
Answer: Approximately 1 week should be anticipated for confirmatory testing.
Question: What is the status of the monitoring wells? Are they to be protected?
Answer: No permanent monitoring wells exist on the site. Groundwater samples collected during previous work were collected from temporary wells that were removed after sampling.
Question: Are topsoil quantities noted in the Bid Schedule measured by delivered quantity as evidenced by truck tickets or in place volume after placed, spread, and compacted?
Answer: Quantities noted in the Bid Schedule are estimated by volume and may fluctuate.
Payment will be based on actual quantities used as evidenced by truck tickets.
Question: What conversion was used for the excavated and imported material quantities shown on the Bid Schedule?
Answer: The following conversions were used during quantity calculations:
Excavated soil = 1.7 ton/cy Sand = 1.3 ton/cy Topsoil = 1.1 ton/cy
