This is Addendum #3 to the Contract Documents for the Town of Queensbury's Sherman Pines Subdivision Roadway and Drainage Improvements project, issued by LaBella Project No. 2250839.11 on August 5, 2026. The addendum addresses three prospective bidder questions regarding project execution and material specifications. The first question clarifies that full-depth roadway reconstruction is not included in the Base Bid when existing pavement breaks apart during milling operations; however, any pavement damaged unnecessarily by the Contractor's operations must be repaired at no additional cost to the Owner. The second question confirms that on-site excavated and reused materials are acceptable for trench backfill between pipe zone materials and the proposed subbase, as permitted under Section 310001 Earthworks Materials. The third question addresses wing curb width specifications shown on the contract drawings.
Regarding the wing curb specification, the addendum permits Contractors to construct a nominal 2'-0" wide asphalt wing curb in lieu of the specified 1'-6" width at their option, provided that gutter flow-line location and elevation, curb height and profile, finished roadway grades, and drainage-structure interfaces remain consistent with Contract Drawings. Payment for the wing curb will continue to be based on the 1'-6" width shown in the Contract Drawings. Any additional asphalt resulting from the Contractor's election to use the wider 2'-0" curb shall be considered incidental and furnished at no additional cost to the Owner; if included in measured or reported quantities on a payment application, its value will be deducted from the payment. The Contractor must coordinate the wider curb at driveways, intersections, drainage structures, and constrained locations to ensure smooth, continuous drainage without ponding, reverse slopes, or abrupt transitions.

ADDENDUM #3
This Addendum forms a part of, and modifies, the original Contract Documents. Each Bidder shall acknowledge receipt of all addenda on the Bid Proposal form included in the Contract
Documents. Failure to provide acknowledgement may subject Bidder to disqualification.
PART 1: Answers to Prospective Bidder Questions
The attention of all Prospective Bidders is directed to the following answers to questions received to date from plan holders:
1. While milling, if the entire curb and roadway breaks apart and needs to be re-installed, will that be with binder, and under what pay would that be listed? After visiting the site, I believe quite a bit of the road will fall apart while milling the wing curb.
Response: The intent is to mill the existing asphalt wing curb level with the adjacent roadway surface; full-depth reconstruction of the roadway edge is not included in the Base Bid. An asphalt binder course is not specified and there is no separate binder-course payment item.
Pavement damaged unnecessarily by the Contractor’s operations shall be repaired at no additional cost to the Owner.
2. Is the on-site materials acceptable for trench backfill between the pipe zone materials and the bottom of the proposed subbase?
Response: Please refer to Section 310001 Earthworks Materials, Part 2 – Products, 2.1.C, which allows for the use of “approved excavated and reused material”.
3. Detail 1 on C-501 as well as the typical roadway section detail on C-301 indicate a 1’6” wing curb. Typical wing curb attachments to paving machines are 2’. Please confirm that a 2’ wing curb is acceptable.
Response: A nominal 2'-0" wide asphalt wing curb may be used in lieu of the 1'-6" width shown on Details 1/C-501 and C-301, at the Contractor’s option, provided that the gutter flow-line location and elevation, curb height and profile, finished roadway grades, and drainage-structure interfaces remain consistent with the Contract Drawings. Payment for the wing curb will remain based on the 1'-6" width shown in the Contract Drawings. Any additional asphalt resulting solely from the Contractor’s election to construct a 2'-0" wide wing curb shall be considered incidental, shall not be included in the payable asphalt quantity, and shall be furnished at no additional cost to the Owner. If that additional asphalt is included in measured or reported quantities on a payment application, its value at the applicable Contract unit price will be deducted from the payment application. The Contractor shall coordinate the wider curb at driveways, intersections, drainage structures, and other constrained locations. The completed wing curb shall provide smooth, continuous drainage without ponding, reverse slopes, abrupt transitions, or obstructions.
