QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1. What should the post spacing be for the handrail at the steps?

A1. Handrail post spacing should be a maximum of 6'-0" along horizontal runs and 5'-0" maximum along stairs.

Q2. How far off of the steps should the handrail be located?

A2. The handrail should be located as close to the steps as allowed per the contract documents.

Q3. Plan page C-101 says install 112.5 LF steel handrail @ stairs, but bid sheet 6/75 in the solicitation shows 77 LF. Which is correct?

A3. Plan Sheet C-101 is correct. Line Item 0008 of the Solicitation is amended with this amendment to show 112.5 LF of new pipe handrail. This quantity includes handrail along both sides of the top and bottom sections of the stairs, in addition to handrail along the outside edge only for the middle section of the stairs.

Q4. Is the contractor intended to replace guardrail and handrail posts only if they are damaged in removal or are posts that are already cracking or bent intended to be replaced? If any are already intended to be replaced, can an amount be specified?

A4. There are a few posts that are currently damaged that will need to be replaced as part of this contract (in addition to replacing any posts that are damaged during construction). Please refer to Spec Section 32 30 00, Paragraph 3.2.

Q5. For the guardrail posts, the specs state post spacing is approximately 10 ft. How is the contractor intended to install guardrail if post spacing is not 10 ft and exceeds the width of standard guardrail? If posts are beyond the standard manufacturers slots for adjustment, what is the intent for installation?

A5. Please refer to Spec Section 32 30 00, Paragraph 3.2. Post spacing related to the work in this contract is shorter in length than typical spacing per PennDOT RC Standards.
