Addendum No. 1 Summary: Livonia Public Schools Garfield Thrive Track Project

This is an addendum to the bidding documents for the Livonia Public Schools Garfield Thrive Track site work project in Livonia, Michigan, issued by Foresite Design, Inc. on October 13, 2026. The project involves site work including hot mix asphalt pavement installation with two separate courses totaling 3 inches of material. The work includes furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment for producing, placing, spreading, compacting, and finishing bituminous pavement to proper grade and cross section, as well as hot-mix patching, repairs, and painted pavement markings. The scheduled start date for site work is May 17, 2027, with completion required by September 3, 2027. Contractors must commence work within five days of receiving a Notice to Proceed and submit scheduling information, work activities, anticipated working days, and shop drawings within fifteen days of contract award. A pre-bid walkthrough sign-in sheet is attached to the addendum. Receipt of this addendum must be noted on the proposal form, or the bidder may be subject to disqualification.

The asphalt paving work must comply with current Michigan Department of Transportation Standard Specifications and specifications from the National Asphalt Paving Association, Asphalt Institute, and National Highway Institute. The leveling course requires a minimum 2-inch thickness with 6% asphalt by weight, while the wearing course requires a minimum 1-inch thickness also with 6% asphalt by weight. Both courses must meet MDOT mix standards (13A and 36A respectively) and achieve 95% compaction density. All work must be performed during daylight hours when base temperature is at least 40°F and surfaces are dry. Each course must be installed in a single day to avoid cold joints, and installation must be rescheduled if rain is expected. Contractors are subject to a $1,000 daily observation fee for each day projected deadlines are not met, weather permitting and through no fault of the Owner or Foresite Design, Inc.

B. Succeeding loads of plant mix when delivered to the paver shall not vary more than 20(F. from the preceding or succeeding load of plant mix.
3.5 BITUMINOUS PAVING
A. After completion and acceptance of the stone base course, install 3” of hot mix asphalt materials.
B. Installation shall be in two (2) separate courses, as indicated on plans and details. Each asphalt lift shall be installed using self-propelled paving equipment.
C. Edge Shaping: While surface is being compacted and finished, trim edges of pavement for proper alignment, bevel edges of asphalt and compact thoroughly.
D. The plant mix bituminous material shall be compacted to 95% of the bulk density as determined by 50 blows-per-side Marshall procedures or 95% of Theoretical Maximum Density.
E. Plant mix shall be placed and compacted in accordance with current MDOT Guidelines, Division No. 5 - Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavements and Surface Treatments. The initial contact with the hot mixture leveling course shall be made by the power or driving ro...
3.6 TESTS AND SAMPLES
A. At the direction of the Landscape Architect, the Contractor shall cut samples from any course or finished pavement not to exceed five (5) in number from any days run for tests of density and composition. These samples shall be taken at points desig...
B. The Owner will hire an independent testing laboratory to perform field density testing with a nuclear density gage, a Correlated Pavement Quality Indicator, or PaveTracker (non-nuclear) to verify that the specified density requirements are being met.
C. The surface from which samples are taken shall be restored by the Contractor not later than the next succeeding day of plant operation.
D. All test results will be available to the Contractor.
E. All testing samples will be paid for in accordance with these specifications.
3.7 PATCHING AND REPAIRS
A. Patching: Saw cut perimeter of patch and excavate existing pavement section to sound base. Recompact new subgrade. Excavate rectangular or trapezoidal patches, extending 12 inches (300 mm) into adjacent sound pavement, unless otherwise indicated. C...
1. Tack coat faces of excavation and allow to cure before paving.
2. Partially fill excavation with dense-graded, hot-mix asphalt base mix and compact while still hot. Cover asphalt base course with compacted, hot-mix surface layer finished flush with adjacent surfaces.
B. Leveling Course: Install and compact leveling course consisting of dense-graded, hot-mix asphalt surface course to level sages and fill depressions deeper than 1 inch (25 mm) in existing pavements.
1. Install leveling wedges in compacted lifts not exceeding 3 inches (75 mm) thick.
C. Crack and Joint Filling: Remove existing filler material from cracks or joints to a depth of 1/4 inch (6 mm). Refill with asphalt joint-filling material to restore watertight condition. Remove excess filler that has accumulated near cracks or joints.
D. Tack Coat: Apply uniformly to existing surfaces of previously constructed asphalt or portland cement concrete paving and to surfaces abutting or projecting into new, hot-mix asphalt pavement. Apply at a uniform rate of 0.05 to 0.15 gal./sq.yd. (0.2...
1. Allow tack coat to cure undisturbed before paving.
2. Avoid smearing or staining adjoining surfaces, appurtenances, and surroundings. Remove spillages and clean affected surfaces.
