Signature of Contractor and Date

The following statements supersede & supplement the corresponding items in the specifications & drawings:

1. Question: Detail D/S201 on Sheet S201 has a note pointing to the handrail end extension indicating "ADA Handrail, See Civil". There is no indication of ADA handrail on any of the Civil Drawings. Please indicate if there are details missing on the Civil Drawings that pertain to the ADA Handrail.

Answer: There are no details on the civil drawings. There are a couple of options - see attached examples. Photos #1 and #2 are at the North Tube Launch Boardwalk at the park. These options are preferred. However, photos #3 and #4 are acceptable. There must be a 12" extension to be ADA compliant.

2. Question: Detail B/S201 on Sheet S201 has a note pointing to the handrail in section view that indicates "See Detail C/S100 for Guardrail Information - At Ramps Only". There is no Sheet S100 in the Structural Drawings. Is it referring to Detail C/S201 on Sheet S201. Please advise.

Answer: Disregard this note. The handrail and guardrail apply to the entire boardwalk except the platform at the water with the submerged step.

3. Question: In the Special Conditions (Page 14) of the Instructions to Bidders, it indicates that "Professional archeological monitoring is required during ground-disturbing activities." In the Bid Spec Checklist is also notes that the contractor is required to hire a Profession Archeologist. The Cultural Assessment Phase I Study says that a Phase II should be completed. Has a Phase II Evaluation been completed? Are we as the General Contractor to include a Phase II Evaluation in addition to the required archeological monitoring? (This has significant cost impacts).

Answer: The contractor is not required to include a Phase II Evaluation for this project.

4. Question: Please confirm if a 1A-32 Archeological Research Permit will be required.

Answer: Professional Archaeological monitoring requires a 1A-32 as "archaeological field investigations may only be conducted on state-owned lands in Florida under the authority of research permit issued pursuant to Chapter 1A-32, Florida Administrative Code."

In all other respects, the contract documents of which this is an Addendum, and attachments relative thereto, shall remain in full force and effect.
