RESPONSE TO BIDDER QUESTIONS

AS OF DECEMBER 2, 2022 – 5:00 P.M.

The period to ask questions pertaining to this project has closed as of 5:00 P.M. on Friday, December 2, 2022. Reponses to any question(s) received after this point will not be addressed.

Responses are provided for information only and are not a recognized component of, nor do they amend, the Contract Documents (102-02.B of the Standard Specifications).

Date Issued

11/14/2022

1. Question: A question was asked regarding payment of prevailing wage rates for truckers hauling material to/from the site. The person posing the question indicated that the gravel pits would not quote delivery of the material, only the cost(s) of the material in their pits.

Answer: All bidders are directed to the requirements of NYSDOT Standard Specifications (dated September 1, 2022) Section 108-05.D and the following link from the NYSDOL (https://dol.ny.gov/public-work-and-prevailing-wage).

11/23/2022

1. Question: On the Itemized Base Proposal, there’s quantities, but no dollar amount on:

637.34 Office Technology and Supplies

697.03 Field Change Payment

698.05 Fuel Price Adjustment

I’m guessing the Unit Bid Price should be $1.00 for each, but want to be sure I’m correct.

Answer: You are correct and thank you for pointing that out. Addendum #3 will issue new Itemized Proposal Sheets anyway since for items 620.03 and 620.05 shown in the itemized proposal, the unit prices for these two items should be $0.00. These items, plus the ones you identified will be revised in new Itemized Proposal Sheets for you to use.

1. Question: I was wondering if you could advise if there were any liquidated damages for this project?

Neither my boss or I could find them in the bid documents but it's a pretty large package and we thought perhaps we missed it somewhere. Need the info for our Bid Bond Request.

Answer: On page 11 of the Contract Proposal Book, the Bidder is directed to the New York State Department of Transportation Requirements, where note 1 indicates that the NYSDOT Standard Specifications, as of the contract advertisement, governs work performed under this contract, and shall include Sections 100 through 799.

Therefore, the Bidder is directed to NYSDOT Standard Specifications (September 1, 2022) Section 108 – PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS, specifically subsection 108- 03.B Liquidated Damages and Table 108-01 – SCHEDULE OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES for information regarding your question.

11/29/2022

1. Question: Is blasting the steel girders and / or concrete substructures an approved demolition method?

Answer: NYSDOT Standard Specification 107-05.M. Demolition/Removal of Buildings and Structures indicates demolition or removal work shall not be performed by the use of explosives unless approved by the Regional Director. As this project is being administered as a Locally Administered Federal Aid Project, and as noted in the DEFINITIONS AND TERMS section of the Project Contract Proposal Book (page 143), the term Regional Director shall be substituted with the term Allegany County Superintendent. Therefore, the decision to allow the use of explosives in the process of demolition falls upon the Allegany County DPW Superintendent.

Due to the unsafe conditions present for the existing bridge, the Allegany County DPW Superintendent has approved the use of explosives as a potential means to assist in the removal of the existing bridge.

Should the Contractor elect to use explosives as a means to assist in the removal of the existing bridge, the Contractor shall meet the requirements of NYSDOT Standard Specification 107-05.N. Drilling and Blasting.

• The document: Procedures for Blasting is available for download at:

http://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/technical-services-repository/GEM-22b.pdf

2. Question: Item 620.03 Heavy Stone Fill and Item 620.05 Light Stone Fill both have a note on the bid form that indicates that the cost for these items is to be included in Item

553.04010109 Temporary Causeway. The 620 stone fill items are measured by the CY, the temporary causeway item is lump sum. Having three items on the bid form for the same thing seems redundant. When I asked about this at the prebid meeting we were directed to include the cost in the temporary causeway item, and use our own quantities.

RESPONSES TO BIDDER QUESTIONS

Page 3, 12/5/2022

PIN 6755.56 Phase 1 Pre-Bid Responses 2022-12-05.docx Page 3 of 3

What is the intent of having the 620 rock items in the bid if the cost is to be included in another lump sum item? What if the rock quantity overruns or under runs for the causeway?

Answer: The intent of having the 620 Items on the Estimate of Quantities Table and Itemized Bid Proposal forms was to quantify the amount of fill within the river as part of the permitting process for the reviewing agencies. That is why the bidders were directed to use their own quantities.

Additionally, refer to the response above from 11/23/22 indicating that new Itemized Proposal Sheets to be used when Addendum #3 is issued on 12/5/2022. The 620 Items will show a unit cost of $0.00 each.

12/1/2022

1. Question: Is the causeway supposed to be above ordinary high water or ordinary water (refer to dwg. IND-1, sht. 2, Hydraulic Notes #1 and #2)?

Answer: The causeway is to be constructed to approximately El. 1,252.4 (NAVD88) which is 1 ft. above the observed ordinary high water mark determined during the environmental permitting phase and is related to Hydraulic Note #2 on dwg. IND-1. For the construction of the causeway, disregard Hydraulic Note #1 and construct the causeway to El. 1,252.4 at a minimum.
