TO: Prospective Bidders

Subject: Addendum No. 1 to Bid Documents Poc903130C Nutrient Reductionl Wetland Project – Bid No. 24-01 Greene County, Iowa

This addendum forms a part of the bidding contract documents and modifies the original bidding documents dated March 2024. This addendum must be acknowledged on Page CC-2 of Document CC.– Proposal and Schedule of Prices. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL SUBJECT BIDDER TO DISQUALIFICATON.

Description:

Plan Sheet C002

• Construction Notes for Bid Item 18 should have the word “excavation” removed from the second line. The excavation required for placement of the riprap toe is already included and described with Bid Item 4.

Plan Sheet C101

• A call out on the left side shows a waste area west of the easement. All waste material will be disposed of within the permanent easement area. Excess spoil shall be placed in a manner that does not prevent drainage from the west. This will require some mounding with gaps to allow for surface flow into the wetland.

• A call out near the center of the sheet about grading inlet channel refers to “AgriDrain #2” which should be replaced with “Water Control Structure”.

SPECIFICATION CS-008 4.B.3

Add the following paragraph:

3. Subsidiary Item: Sign Installation

This item shall include all labor, materials, equipment, and Iowa One Call notifications to install sign provided by Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, as shown on attachment.

Poc903130C (Moline) DU Pre-Bid Meeting Notes – 3-19-24

General Comments:

1. The project consists of a “ditch plug” (grade stabilization structure with Articulating Concrete Block ACB mat) that will divert water from the adjacent ditch into the wetland.

2. There will be grading within the wetland to elevation 1207.0, which will consist primarily of topsoil mix material.

3. The borrow area is on-site. The contractor will have to cross the existing ditch. Any suitable material found in grading of wetland, channels, and core trench can be utilized as general fill material (not the clay core).

4. There is no compaction testing required on this project. All Earthfill bid items include 15% shrinkage (added 15% to C3D quantity).

5. There is a bid item for Crop Damages. This is a “pass through” item where the engineer will measure the amount of damage. IDALS will pay the Contractor the amount for damages, which will be passed on to the landowner/tenant.

6. Contract questions should be addressed to Tracy Bruun, and technical questions should be addressed to Andrew Schippers (AS).

7. There was discussion on signage. Brad Moline stated that a sign could be put up along the road. The exact location will need to be determined.
