    • During the first sentence of Construction and maintenance of Temporary Structure it says
    in parentheses “approaches are not part of this provision”. There is also not a pay item
    for constructing an approach fill. Is the intent of LI 64, for the contractor to provide an
    approach fill for the temporary structure?
    The intent is for the contractor to construct the approach fill for the temporary structure.
    Approach fill would be considered part of LI 04 (Grading). This provision has been in
    use for quite some time, including the “approaches are not part of this provision”
    statement. We historically have not included a pay item for approaches on temporary
    bridges.
    • Is the Contractor are responsible for the design of the interior bent and end bents?
    Yes, the contractor will need to obtain signed/sealed drawings for the bents once the
    temporary structure has been selected and approved.
    • Could you clarify our inspection requirements? The second to last paragraph of
    Construction and maintenance of Temporary Structure states that the manufacturer has to
    inspect at certain intervals but if immediately after installation it becomes property of the
    City, am I suppose to cover the contractual warranty period or does this period extend
    until the bridge is to be removed? Typically the manufacturer charges each time out to
    the jobsite. Are we required to complete routine maintenance as in other projects that
    require temporary bridges? If so, what is the duration?
    The intent is for the contractor to provide inspections and conduct any safety or stability
    repairs through the 12 month warranty period. After that the City of Asheville will be
    responsible for continued inspections and coordinating any repairs. The Structure PSP
    has been revised to reflect the intent.
    • A work pad is shown in the proposal for a temporary bent, but no access to the work pad
    is detailed or appears to be allowed.
    Access is provided from Azalea Rd via temporary pipe crossing of the jurisdictional
    stream. See structure 401 and 402 locations.
    • In the permit, there is a temporary work pad called out around the mid point of the
    bridge. If I elect to install some substructure at that point, is that considered temporary
    since it will be removed at some point when the permanent structure is built?
    This contract is solely for the construction of the temporary bridge. All substructure
    components associated with the temporary bridge will be considered “permanent” for the
    duration of this contract. The City of Asheville be responsible for the removal of all
    components of the temporary structure once the permanent structure has been completed
    under a separate contract. Any temporary work pad used to construct the temporary
    structure under this contract shall be removed.

    species has been given. This can be further discussed during the pre-construction meeting.
