<br />3. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS <br /> <br />Q: The RFQ states that the bridge is NOT elevated. Is that correct? <br />A: Correct. It is an "at-grade". The space that we have to work in can have an arch but <br />needs to meet the ADA requirements. The bridge is only to expand the canal, <br />landfall to landfall. Landfall is essentially the southern boundary. Now, part of the <br />process that you (the awarded bidder) will go through would be to determine those <br />lines. <br /> <br />This has to be, for several reasons, a clear span bridge, landfall to landfall. There <br />may be issues with some easements (i.e. underwater ownerships) and we are <br />currently trying to clarify that. Ultimately, whoever is selected will be helping us if <br />there are issues to be resolved. <br /> <br />Q: Which canal is this? <br />A: My guess is that it is Winston Towers Access Canal. You're best bet to view it is to <br />go to North Bay Drive (when you leave this facility, go directly west to North Bay <br />Road and keep migrating south-west until you reach North Bay Road)when you <br />reach the southern dead end of N. Bay Road and you're looking at the bridge. <br /> <br />Q: Who maintains the canal? <br />A: That is one of the questions that our legal department is working on. As I <br />understand it, there are at least three claiming parties involved and we are trying to <br />resolve that. <br /> <br />Q: Will there be an aesthetic selection process to look at the bridge beforehand? <br />A: I am almost certain that there should not be but, I cannot guarantee that. We will <br />present and make recommendations for approvals and we will work with you. We <br />have some visions but on the other hand we are lookingfor your creativity and your <br />expertise. It should have an aesthetic appeal. It should be a nice facility because, <br />again, initially it is a pedestrian bridge. We don't know ifit will be that way in 15 or <br />20 year. or it could be a vehicular bridge in 5 months. <br /> <br />Q: Are there any restrictions of the North side? <br />A: I believe that the right of way is 50 or 60 feet. We can verify that for you but it is <br />adequate - you have room there. <br /> <br />Q: Is there any work involved in the North-side? <br />A: Other than the normal tie-ins, no, just a transition. Whatever transitional designs <br />you need is up to you. <br /> <br />Q: Do you know the width of the canal? <br />A: Approximately 70 feet. <br /> <br />RJ'Q 1l7-1l.,-1l\ J':nginccring s,,'s I\riJgc (.\JJcnJum.2) <br /> <br />Page 2 of .. <br />
