QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Sheet 05 – Pre‐Cast Box Culvert Item 4: “Approved Waterproofing membrane and adhesive shall extend to outside barrels and one foot lap down out wall.”

Question: Is there a list of Approved waterproofing membrane & adhesive?

Answer: Yes NMDOT APL (Approved Product List)

Question: Are there any details on the Waterproofing membrane?

Answer: NMDOT Standard Drawings 511‐66‐5/6, 2019 Edition Standard Specifications for Highway and Bridge Construction section 511

Sheet 05 – Pre‐Cast Box Culvert Item 8: “Re‐grade and compact upstream and downstream channel bed 200’ from edge of apron and full width.”

Question: Drawing only shows downstream side just want to confirm both sides need the 200’?

Answer: Yes, both sides require 200’ of re‐grading.

Answer: NMDOT website.

Question: Can the Prebid attendance sheet be released with the Q/A’s?

Answer: Yes, the sign in sheet will be posted to SAM.gov with all redacted government personnel information.

Question: The drawings call for precast culverts, however the dimensions shown on Plan Sheet 5 do not reflect precast boxes. Dimensions for the interior walls show 12” total or 6” for each box and the exterior walls show 9”. And there is no space between the boxes. Pre‐casting this size box is not advised since the walls will not be sufficient to withstand the forces from casting, loading, hauling, unloading and setting.

There is adequate time in the contract, and casting the boxes in place would provide a better, more cost‐effective solution. However, we feel the dimensions should be revised to reflect NMDOT standards which the drawings do reference. The comparison of the drawings versus NMDOT standards are as follows:

Answer: NMDOT standards call for the following (NMDOT Standard drawings 511):

NMDOT

Top slab 13.5

Bottom Slab 14.5

Exterior walls 11

Interior walls 9.5

Question: Please consider allowing a cast‐in‐place option to construct the 8 barrel 12 x 10 box culverts. And please consider revising the dimensions to reflect the NMDOT standards.
