For Contract Line Items 0001CS and 0001CT, bidders are instructed to provide bid pricing for only ONE of these Line Items, either 0001CS OR 0001CT. DO NOT SUBMIT PRICING FOR BOTH OF THESE

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1. I downloaded the plans and seems like there should be more information on the micropiles – details and plans. If there are any more plans, please provide them.

Additionally, if there are any available current Soils/Geotechnical Reports related to this project, please provide them.

A1. The plan sheets with information on the micropiles are as follows: S-1141, S-2142, S-3143, S-3144, and S-3147. Information on the micropiles is also in the specifications in Section 31 63 33.

The only current soils/geotechnical report is the HTRW Phase II report. The HTRW Phase II report is provided with this Amendment 0001.

Q2. I can not find any drawings for the Geotechnical Instrumentation. We are unable to determine location or quantity of instruments. Do these drawing exist for this project?

A2. By “Geotechnical” Instrumentation it is assumed that the section being referenced is 13 50

00. Sheet S-1141 shows the location and elevation of two tiltmeters.

Q3. On the Solicitation Sheets there are two items which have the same description and quantity. I believe they are doubled-up. They are Item Nos. 0001BX and 0001BY. Could you confirm this and make a change to the solicitation sheets if necessary.

A3. Line Item 0001BY has been corrected to read, “ARRA – ABUTMENT COMBINATION

WALL, 42-INCH DIAMETER ROCK SOCKET”

Q4. Division 31 Section 31 05 19.19, Referencing geogrid reinforcement: Requires 100 % UV resistance - Is this 100 % of the required design strength?

A4. The geogrid to be used in construction will need to have an allowable strength higher than the required design strength, as stated in Section 31 05 19.19 Para 2.1.1.1. The allowable strength is given in Table 1 in Section 31 05 19.19. Therefore, the answer to the question is: No, the 100% should be of the allowable strength. The 100% shown in Table 1 of Section 31 05

19.19 is incorrect. Section 31 05 19.19 has been revised.

Q5. On the Solicitation Sheets page 27 of 103, there is Item 0001CQ ARRA - Abutment Wall Repair, Install NE. Could you provide a better description? I'm not sure what the abbreviation NE is referring to.

A5. The description for Line Item 0001CQ has been corrected to read, “ARRA- ABUTMENT

WALL REPAIR, INSTALL NEW HANDRAIL”

Q6. Item 0001AU “Demolition of Posts and Cables” – Quantity/Units listed as “70 each”, should this be 70 Linear Feet?

A6. The Quantity for Item 0001AU should be 70 Linear Feet, not 70 Each. Line Item 0001AU has been corrected.

Q7. I do not find any specification for the drilling of the grout and vent holes on the existing dam apron (bid items 0001AP, 0002AK, 0001AQ, and 0002AL). Likewise, the specification Section 31 73 00 Under Apron Grouting, referenced in Subparagraph 1.2.12.1 Payment, on Page 15 of Section 01 22 00, has not been issued.

A7. Section 31 73 00 Under Apron Grouting was erroneously left out of the specification package posted with the solicitation. Section 31 73 00 is provided with this Amendment 0001.
