ITEM 3 – PRE-BID CONFERENCE

The Pre-Bid Conference was held at the District office on January 24, 201. The presentation slides for the project overview given at the conference and the attendance sheets are attached with this Addendum No.2.

The following questions and their corresponding answers are presented below:

1. Q: Will the estimated dollar amount of the deleted Schedule G sewer work be provided? A: Yes, a revised estimated amount reflecting the deletion of the sewer work will be shown in the next addendum.

2. Q: There is a requirement to pothole ahead of construction. Does the District “stand by” its potholing information? How accurate is the pothole information? Were the potholed utilities surveyed? If the pothole information is accurate why does the Contractor need to pothole? A: The existing utility locations shown on the plans are based on information collected from as-built drawings, field notes, and measurements obtained from pothole excavations. Some of the utility location information was verified by survey for design purposes only, and is not guaranteed. The information that the District has gathered is provided to the Bidders in the Drawings. The requirement to pothole existing utilities in advance of the construction per the requirements of Contract Specification Section 01055 is not waived. The Contractor shall carefully review and comply with all requirements of this specification section and include all associated costs of potholing in his Bid.

3. Q: Was a design locate done? A. Yes, locates were done and the utility pavement markings indicating utilities were surveyed during design. The surveyed locations are shown on the Drawings.

4. Q: The specifications say that the Contractor will provide the material testing. Will the District be doing any testing in addition to the contractor? A: No, the District is not planning to do additional testing. The District will have a geotechnical engineer under contract in case a need arises for review or additional testing.


Addendum No. 2

5. Q: Some of the pothole information indicates concrete under pavement. Is the location of the concrete road under Highway 99 known? A: The location of the old concrete road under Highway 99 is unknown. The existing concrete road is much narrower than the current road width, and the proposed water main is located generally in the outside driving lane of Highway 99. The old concrete road section is not shown because the limits are not accurately known.

6. Q: Is the project located mostly in Snohomish County jurisdiction? A: Work to be performed in Highway 99 is located in WSDOT right-of-way, except there is a portion of work within the City of Everett on Highway 99 at and north of Airport Road. With the exception of those areas, the work is within Snohomish County jurisdiction. Also, easements on private property adjacent to Highway 99 are within Snohomish County jurisdiction.

7. Q: Does the District have a grading permit for work on private property (easement areas)? If so, does this also cover the Contractor’s staging areas? A: The District does have a Snohomish County Grading permit for work in easement areas (permit is included in Appendix B). The District does not have a grading permit for the Contractors’ staging areas since the locations(s) are unknown at the time of design and during the Bid period. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining and all costs associated with any and all Snohomish County grading permits required for the Contractor’s staging areas. A copy of these approved permits and a copy of all executed agreements with property owners associated with staging areas shall be submitted to the District.

ITEM 4 – CONTRACTOR’S PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BOND

Delete Section 00700 10.0, Contractor’s Performance and Payment Bond in its entirety, and replace it with the following: 10.0 Contractor’s Performance and Payment Bond

ITEM 11 – WRITTEN QUESTIONS

Question 1 (Grouped)

Could you please clarify the Snohomish County permit (and associated fees) that is/are required of the contractor? In the pre-bid conference, it was mentioned that AWWD has procured a “Grading Permit” for the project. However, you made it clear that many of the permits required for the project must be pulled by the contractor (especially those that will drive review and inspection of traffic control plans). Is this “Grading” permit the same as the D8 Type Permit that Snohomish County requires for major utility construction that charges the contractor by the Lineal Foot of utility installed? The question/answer is key information for bidders in that the D8 permit and related costs may necessitate overall costs to the contractor in excess of $25,000 that would be incidental to the bid.

Answer:

Permits are described in Section 01062. Related work is described in Sections 01500 and 01570. The permits obtained by the District are included in Appendix B.

For Snohomish County, the District has obtained the Right-of-Way D8 – Utility and the Grading Permit – Commercial for the water main construction. Other Snohomish County permits have also been obtained but are no longer applicable as they related to the sanitary sewer system construction which was deleted from the project as the result of Addendum No. 1.

mailto:[email protected]


Addendum No. 2

The District will pay all fees associated with the Right-of-Way D8 - Utility Permit and Grading Permit – Commercial including renewal and inspection fees.

However, the Contractor is responsible for obtaining from Snohomish County Public Works Right-of-Way Use/Traffic Control Plans (Type B) for road/lane/closures. Refer to 1.02.D in Section 01062 and 1.04.G in Section 01550 for more information.

All traffic control plans, regardless of road agency jurisdiction, are to be prepared by the contractor per Section 01570.


Could you please clarify the intention of the Hot Mix Asphalt Pay Items as they relate to the payment for removal of temporary asphalt and the intended sequencing for pavement patching? When will bid item #16, Hot Mix Asphalt for Temporary Trench Patch be utilized vs. bid item #17, Hot Mix Asphalt for Pavement Repair?

Answer:

Bid item #16, Hot Mix Asphalt for Temporary Trench Patch, will be paid for all asphalt placed as an asphalt patch that is then removed by the Contractor at a later date. Bid item #17, Hot Mix Asphalt for Pavement Repair, will be paid for all hot mix asphalt placed as a permanent trench patch or pavement repair that will not be removed by the Contractor at a later date.

Question 3

The special provisions say that removal of the temporary asphalt patch of BI#16 is incidental to the bid item. So does this mean that whenever the contractor has installed temporary hot asphalt patching that is not of a suitable depth to match the existing asphalt depth of the adjacent road structure that BI #16, Hot Mix Asphalt for Temporary Patch will apply and of course have to be removed to accommodate the subsequent permanent paving of BI#17?

Answer:

Yes.

Question 4

In short, when does AWWD visualize Bid Item #16 will be utilized specifically?

Answer:

Bid item #16 will be utilized to compensate the Contractor for all hot mix asphalt placed that will subsequently be removed by the Contractor, at a later date, and then replaced with a permanent hot mix asphalt patch or pavement repair.

Question 5

Bid Item #21, Planing Bituminous Pavement: The special provisions state that this bid item relates to the planning of existing asphalt surfaces. Does this mean that BI#21 will not apply to the surfaces that have been paved and paid under BI#15, BI#16, BI#17, or BI#18?


Addendum No. 2

Answer: Measurement for Bid Item #21, Planing Bituminous Pavement, will apply to surface areas paid under Bid Items #15, #17 and #18, but will not apply to surface areas paid under Bid item #16.

Question 6

Is it AWWD’s intention to plane the surfaces for paving covered by the overlay bid items #19 & #20 after or before the paving in BI#15, BI#16, BI#17, or BI#18 has occurred to match the adjacent surfaces?

Answer: The sequence is the choice of the Contractor and subject to requirements of the governing road authority. Planing would occur after permanent asphalt trench patch or pavement repair and immediately preceding asphalt overlay.


Regarding the trenching and paving work on Highway 99, is it AWWD’s intent to have the contractor install the necessary pipe, bring the grade up to the bottom of the paving section daily, steel plate the trench until the end of the week, remove the steel plates and pave back full depth to provide a flat travel surface for weekend traffic (since steel plates are not allowed during weekends)? However, with the restrictions on daily paving to maximum 3“ lifts whereas Hwy 99 is likely to be 12” thick, this sequence would be impossible as it would require 4 days of paving to reach the full section height. Could you please clarify the sequence for paving that AWWD has witnessed under similar specifications on past projects?

Answer:

Past projects are not reported here since each project is unique. Per 1.06.F of Section 02740, Asphalt Paving, daily paving is limited to 6 inches total compacted thickness (two or more compacted lifts). WSDOT has indicated it will allow limited, temporary use of steel plates if they are removed weekly. The District has included Bid Item #16, Hot Mix Asphalt for Temporary Trench Patch to compensate the Contractor for furnishing, placing and removing temporary trench patch, which is required to be three (3) inches thick for WSDOT ROW. As a point of clarification for performance requirement 1.07.M of Section 02740, the term “trench patching” was intended to include either temporary or permanent trench patching.

The District is relying on the Contractor to determine the most effective and efficient means of accomplishing the work. The District’s currently envisioned method of accomplishing the work in WSDOT Right-Of-Way is for the Contractor to perform the excavation, pipe laying and backfill during the work week, plating over the excavations until the last night (Friday night). The temporary hot patch thickness would be installed that night in one lift, allowed to cool and traffic opened up by the required time per the WSDOT permit conditions on Saturday morning. The permanent paving operation that requires the 12” patch thickness per detail K-21 and the approved permits will occur sometime later in the project. The permanent paving operation will include removal of the temporary hot patch and some asphalt paving on either side of the patch (planing is required in some locations), and install the required 12” minimum permanent patch and


Addendum No. 2

required overlay over multiple days. The length of each segment of the final paving operations is up to the contractor with concurrence of WSDOT.
