Addendum No. 2 - Bidder Questions and Responses CONSTRUCTION OF WALL UNDER THE WILLIAM LEHMAN CAUSEWAY CITY RFP NO. 13-10-02 2 Contractor/Manufacturer are required to provide signed and sealed shop drawings showing that the loads have been satisfied (moment and vertical load). 4. Looks like a pretty narrow footing is being used to be supported by the 10” piles. Are there any lateral space constraints that the piles have to be installed within? Would battering the alternate piles outward slightly from the centerline of the footing be allowed? Response: The ideal location, per the design, is the center line of the pile (center line of the footing) to avoid eccentricity. Allowable offset during construction is less than one (1) inch. 5. For the 15 tons compression/tension, is that considered the working (unfactored) load on the piles? A typical factor of safety (FOS) is usually applied to working loads. Don’t want to add that again if a suitable FOS has already being applied to this 15 tons. Response: The service capacity for each pile is 11 tons. 6. Is all landscaping to be removed and replaced by the City’s contractor? Response: The City will have trees and shrubs along the route of this project removed prior to construction. The route for the future wall will be clear of vegetative obstructions within 5 feet minimum on each side of the wall. Replacement of sod and vegetation within the above specified limits shall be the sole responsibility of the City’s landscape contractor. The City’s contractor shall also be responsible for all permits associated with the removal and replacement of landscape material within the project boundaries. 7. Are there construction easements for access to the north side of the proposed wall? Response: Yes, the City is processing obtaining temporary construction easements to allow for the contractor to install the wall per plan as well as to place erosion control measures next to the existing private garages. The easements may not be used for staging or storage of materials and the area is to be restored to its preconstruction state or better at no additional cost. These easements will be included as a part of the conformed contract documents.
