About this opportunity
This is an addendum to a state contract opportunity posted by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the Ichetucknee Springs State Park - Midpoint ADA Access Improvements project, Bid No. BDC35-23/24. The project involves making accessibility improvements at the midpoint of Ichetucknee Springs State Park. Key details include an estimated budget of $750,000, with a projected start date as soon as the contract is awarded. The scope includes limiting walking traffic on the tram path and main trail during construction, while tubing activities will not be impacted. The addendum provides clarification on several technical specifications, such as not requiring TimberGuard piles and allowing the use of WearDeck as a substitute for Lumber Rock. It also confirms that a geotechnical engineer is not required for pile installation, though archaeological monitoring will be necessary.
This contract opportunity is open to all qualified bidders. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current contract holder is not specified. The budget range for this project is $750,000, as estimated by the DEP. Bidders are required to sign and include this addendum with their bid submissions, and failure to do so may be grounds for rejection.

_______________________________________
Signature of Contractor and Date
The following statements supersede & supplement the corresponding items in the specifications & drawings:
1. Question: Is there an estimated budget for this project?
Answer: The Department's estimate for this project is $750,000. This number is strictly an estimate, and each Bidder's bid price should be based on their firm's assessment of the project.
2. Question: When is the projected start date for this project?
Answer: As soon as contracted.
3. Question: Will walking traffic be limited from the tram path to mid-point and from the main trail to mid-point?
Answer: Yes.
4. Question: Will tubing be limited or shut down during the project duration?
Answer: No.
5. Question: Are TimberGuard or equal piles required for all piling locations?
Answer: Pile specs are on S101 - TimberGuard is NOT required. Call-out on Detail G sheet S201 mentions TimberGuard but should be disregarded.
6. Question: Will PDA test be required on test piles?
Answer: No.
7. Question: Full time engineer monitoring for all piling installation?
Answer: Archaeological monitoring will be needed for any ground disturbance. However, a geotechnical engineer is not required. Contractor can acquire and maintain the data of a geotechnical engineer.
8. Question: Wire mesh rail - 1.5 or 2x2?
Answer: 2x2
9. Question: Handrails - thermo plastic or aluminum?
Answer: Aluminum
10. Question: Can WearDeck be a substitute for Lumber Rock?
Answer: Based on the structural properties, WearDeck has equivalent strength values. Yes, it can be a substitute.
11. Question: It looks like they are specifying TimberGuard piles for the whole boardwalk. Usually, they are reserved for wet areas only. That is a lot of money (probably somewhere in the ballpark of $150,000). Suggest maybe using regular piles until you get toward the bottom of the hill and then switch to TimberGuard.
Answer: Pile specs are on S101. TimberGuard is NOT required. Call-out on Detail G sheet S201 mentions TimberGuard - disregard this call-out.
12. Question: They are calling for full-time 3rd party engineer monitoring during pile installation.
Answer: Archaeological monitoring will be needed for any ground disturbance. However, a geotechnical engineer is not required. Contractor can acquire and maintain the data of a geotechnical engineer.
In all other respects, the contract documents of which this is an Addendum, and attachments relative thereto, shall remain in full force and effect.
