Key project requirements identified in the addendum include: coordination with park staff and biologist regarding use of the parking lot as a laydown and delivery area (pending approval due to proximity to a gopher tortoise nest); provision of environmental mats to cross creeks and wetlands to prevent soil disturbance; obtaining prior approval from park and biological staff for any tree trimming needed for aerial clearance; submission of shop drawings for precast concrete deadends for each bridge; and ensuring pilings meet a 12-foot depth requirement as specified in the project's geotechnical report. Bidders must sign and return Addendum #2 with their bid submissions to Brandon Williams, Contracts Specialist, Bureau of Design and Construction, 3800 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS #520, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, with failure to do so potentially resulting in bid rejection.
