CONTRACT SPECIALIST

Correct Safety Deficiencies at Loading Dock, IFB Solicitation VA242-17-B-1182 Please see AE Responses for previously submitted RFI’s # 1, 2, 3, 8, 12, and 13 below:

RFI 1: Drawing S201 has detail 2/S301 showing reinforcement to the existing loading dock wall. We need to know the extent of the repair. No measurements are provided.

AE Response: Detail 2/S301 depicts the wall returns at each end of the “New Wall Segment” identified on S-201. The total length of each wall return is 2’-0” as noted in detail 1/S301.

RFI 2: Section 4/S301 show bottom reinforcement for the new deck leveler.

1 – Drawings have notes showing it as 4/S201, need clarification.

2 – Along the length of leveler wall it showed to provide cont. galvanized L3x3x1/4. We need details to construct the two side walls.

AE Response: 1. RFI is unclear. No response provided by AE

2. The detail of the side walls in the transverse direction is the same as the section (the detail is the same along all three siders of the dock leveler).

RFI 3: Section 1/S201 indicates compacted fill in between existing and new wall. What is the purpose of this fill? Also is the new wall and top concrete a monolithic pour? If yes then how can contractor place the compacted fill after the pour?

AE Response: The slab and the wall are not monolithic. The wall shall be constructed and then backfilled with compacted stone. The slab can then be placed atop of the wall and backfill.

RFI 8: Please specify what reinforcement is scheduled for the New 8” Thick Concrete Pavement. Plan S303 – Typical Ramp/ Pad shows 4 x 4 W4.0 x W4.0 WWM but the concrete pavement detail does not indicate any reinforcement other than smooth dowels at contraction joints. Please advise what to use for reinforcement in concrete pavement?

AE REPLY: No reinforcement is required by design (refer to “General Note” No. 1A on sheet S001. Dowels are required @ each joint per details on sheet S303

RFI 12: Plan S001 Foundation & Soil Preparation notes – Item 5 – specifies a 6” layer of compacted open graded stone overlaying a 16” min thick layer of structural fill compacted. Plan S303 details referencing concrete pavements, stone and subgrades shows only a “Compacted subgrade”. Please confirm the requirement to install 16” of structural fill under the 6” layer of open graded stone at all concrete pavement locations?

AE REPLY: All concrete pavement shall bear on a 6” layer of open graded stone above a 16” layer of structural fill per “Foundation and Soil Preparation Note” No. 5 on sheet S001.

RFI 13: Reference item 7 above, this affects how much of a cut will be required to install 16” of structural fill at the concrete pavement locations. This is a substantial amount of area and depth (which means a substantial amount of cut fill to be removed off site) and we cannot find anywhere in the plans or specs if the owner has had soils testing completed to as to be able to classify such soils? Please advise.

AE REPLY: Geotechnical information was not provided for design. Contractor will be responsible to provide necessary soil testing and report to verify existing soil.
