SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been modified:

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

QUESTION 1: Solicitation states that rain troughs shall be approximately two (2) ft wide to catch water from additional one (1) inch drainage holes along deck expansion joints and bridge curb. Are the holes shown in information photo #4 the drainage holes? If not, where are the drainage holes located and can you provide pictures?

RESPONSE 1: Please see the additional photo included as an attachments with this amendment for the location of the drainage holes.

QUESTION 2: Since the As-Builts are pdf images embedded in a pdf, it is not possible to zoom in or expand the As-Builts to read the measurements. Can you provide copies of the As-Builts that will permit enlargement of the images?

RESPONSE 2: Larger scale As Builts are included as attachments with this amendment.

QUESTION 3: What width are the troughs required to be? Currently there is no minimum width or drawings that provide information on the width of the expansion joints and drainage holes.

RESPONSE 3: Please refer to the revised Statement of Work. Troughs shall be 18” wide.

QUESTION 4: Stainless steel can only be milled to a length of 10 ft. maximum. This makes a “continuous length” rain trough of 17 ft. not feasible as required per the specifications provided. What is acceptable?

RESPONSE 4: Please refer to the revised Statement of Work. The troughs will consist of three (3) sections, with one span in the middle and two spans on each end. The Contractor must ensure a watertight seal between all sections.

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 17-Jan-2025 05:00 PM to 22-Jan-2025 05:00 PM.
