CONTRACT DOCUMENTS FOR: July 16, 2026 Hammocks Beach State Park Cow Channel Dredging Hammocks Beach State Park, Swansboro, NC

SCO ID #: 06-06920-03A

ACE Project #: 25001

The bid date HAS BEEN CHANGED From Wednesday, July 22, 2026, 3:00 PM to Thursday, July 30, 2026, 3:00 PM.

ATTENTION ALL BIDDERS:

The following items shall take precedence over drawings and specifications of the above named project, and shall become part of the contract documents. Any original item in the specifications or indicated on the drawings not herein specifically amended, voided, or suspended shall remain in effect. Failure to acknowledge receipt of this Addendum will result in the bid being deemed non-responsive.

The bidding date CHANGED: From Wednesday, July 24, 2026, 3:00 PM to Thursday, July

30, 2026, 3:00 PM.

The NC Division of Parks and Recreation has hired Andrew Consulting Engineers to be their representative on the project. Any and all correspondence must go through our office.

The following questions were submitted by prospective bidders to Andrew Consulting Engineers during the bidding period. The responses below constitute the official interpretation and clarification of the Contract Documents.

RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS:

Question No. 1 Are these bids allowed to be sent in electronically?

Response:

• Sealed proposals will be received by the North Carolina Department of Natural & Cultural. Resources Division of Parks and Recreation for the state of North Carolina, at Hammocks Beach State Park Visitors Center, 1572 Hammocks Beach Road, Swansboro, NC 28584, attention to the office of Sarah Kendrick, Park Superintendent

(Page 3 Project Manual).

• Proposals should be addressed as indicated in the Advertisement for Bids and be delivered, enclosed in an opaque sealed envelope, marked "Proposal" and bearing the title of the work, name of the bidder, and the contractor’s license number of the bidder. Bidders should clearly mark on the outside of the bid envelope which contract(s) they are bidding. (Page 8 Project Manual).

Question No. 2 In addition to asking if the bid can be submitted electronically, I need a definite answer from you in regard to what contractor license is required for this project. It is unfortunately not the Contractors decision on which to use, and we cannot ask the license board which license we should use being that we are not the engineers on this project. An Unlimited Building Contractors license CAN NOT be used for projects that require an Unlimited Marine Contractors license and vice versa, thus making it pretty important that you let us know what this project requires being that you are the engineers on the project. If in fact this project requires an Unlimited Building Contractors license, which is very clearly described in the specs, then this is a project that we will not be able to bid, being that we are not licensed as a Building Contractor. I however think that the specs are incorrect and where not put together with the mindset of this being a marine proejct, but the fact that you are doing piling work (which should still fall under a marine license) and also having to repave a road to specs that were not provided, that could trigger needing a building contractors license.

Response:

• General contractors are notified that Chapter 87, Article 1, General Statutes of North Carolina, will be observed in receiving and awarding general contracts. General contractors submitting bids on this project must have license classification for Unlimited Building Contractor (Page 4).

REVISIONS TO THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS:

The Contract Documents are revised as follows:

Specification Revisions:

Specification Section 312000 - Earth Moving has been revised.

Guidelines must follow the permit and all contract documents.

ATTACHMENTS:

D. Permits: The dredge permits required by the State of North Carolina and U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers has been obtained by the Owner. The Contractor shall be responsible for all other requirements for obtaining permits, navigational notices, approvals, safety compliance, etc.

2.2 DREDGING

A. It is the intention of the Owner under the provisions of this contract to accomplish dredging and or excavating as required to obtain the depths indicated on the drawings. It will be the responsibility of all bidders to carefully examine the site and determine requirements of the work necessary to accomplish this dredging. Dredging excavation shall be classified as

“unclassified” which shall require the dredging contractor to remove material in the indicated dredge area to the depths shown and dispose of this in the spoil area. Dredging may be done by hydraulic dredge and/or other approved equipment, etc., at the Contractor’s option and subject to approval by CAMA.

B. Side slopes are a requirement of this contract. Method of shaping shall be the Contractor’s choice. Dredge cut alignment shall be within plus or minus 5 feet average distance of lines shown. Dredge depth shall be 8.0 feet below Mean Low Water with an average tolerance of plus or minus 1 foot. Cuts made beyond the lines shown or below the 1 foot tolerance will not be paid for and shall be the Contractor’s responsibility. Areas shallower than 8 feet below Mean

Low Water shall be re-dredged to 8 feet below Mean Low Water prior to payment. Contractor shall take all necessary precautions and obtain the Park Staff’s or applicable jurisdiction’s approval for installation and routing of hydraulic piping and pumping activity from Cow

Channel to Bear Island.

2.3 DIKES AND SPILLWAYS

A. All spoil areas will be diked to fully contain all dredging materials. A different type of spillway may be used provided the Contractor submits a drawing of such and obtains approval for its use prior to construction. The proper maintenance of all dikes, spillways, pipes and devices necessary for control of the deposited material shall be part of this contract and no separate payment will be made for such. Placement of dredging material in the indicated spoil area shall be controlled in accordance with the requirements of the State Department of Environmental

Quality and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Deposits shall be made above the high water line in confined areas to allow solids to settle within. Direct discharge into any existing body of

EARTH MOVING 312000 - 3

Overfilling shall be removed at the Contractor’s expense.

2.4 CLEARING

A. Any trees and other vegetation in the designated spoil areas which will hamper filling activities shall be removed prior to the placement of fill. These methods will be disposed of off-site at an acceptable location selected by the Contractor. The Contractor shall furnish proof to the owner’s representative that all excess debris has been disposed of legally off the park property.

Clearing will be required directly in front of the weir structure to allow water flow into the structure.

B. On Bear Island, clearing may be required in areas where vegetation restricts access to the dredge pipeline. It is not anticipated that over-vegetated areas will exist at the time of the

Dredging, but if vegetation is present the guidelines for removing and disposing of it shall follow the same parameters as set forth in the above paragraph and any clearing must be approved by Park staff prior to commencing work.

2.5 MEASUREMENT

A. The cross sections and grades established and shown on the plans shall be considered to be pre -dredging existing grade. After dredging, soundings shall be made for determining conformity to contract requirements. Should the cross section provided be less than the average tolerance stated, the Owner shall have the right to take either of the following actions at his sole option:

1. Require the Contractor to accomplish additional work sufficient to complete the cross section.

2. Terminate the contract and deduct from the contract amount monies sufficient to cover uncompleted work based on the formula: contract amount divided by total cubic yards equals unit price adjustment.

3. Terminate the contract and employ others to complete the work and deduct from the contract amount sufficient funds required to accomplish the work.

2.6 EXCESS WATER CONTROL

A. Grade and maintain all areas of the site to preclude surface run off into excavations and prevent ponding of water and redirect all concentrated flow through erosion control measures.

2.7 FINISH GRADING
