These items have the same force and effect as if contained in the original.

ITEM 1:

QUESTION/ANSWER

Q1. Pay item 457-70-99 Pile Jacket Repairs is listed as 1 LS. Given we don’t know how many jackets, how long the

jackets are, the existing conditions, please clarify the intent of this line item? Is it only to perform a survey and

documentation?

A1. Correct, this pay items covers inspection, design of potential repairs, and labor/materials for potential repairs.

Q2. Scope of Work #16 calls out 64 total pile clusters replacing wire rope. Plan shows (40) 2-pile clusters, and (24)

3-pile clusters. Is this correct?

A2. Correct, 32 clusters per fender.

Q3. Can we get the 2005 rehab plans for the Grid Deck Repair called out in plans? Also, the 2018 As-Builts and latest

Inspection report identifying Girder/Span location identification.

A3. This information is provided in Addenda #2.

Q4. How long are the 8”x8” spacer blocks for the wales? Plans do not call out length.

A4. The spacer blocks shall be 1’-0” in length to match existing plans.

repairs with Flowable Fill?

Q6. Can you verify the length of the securement bolts for the 3rd and the top row of wales shown in Section A-A on

Sheet B1-21 due to possible replacement specified in Scope of Work #16?

A6. Contractor shall ensure the bolts pass through existing/proposed waler beam/blocking and through existing piles as

shown. Estimated length for top row bolt is 25” (10” waler + 10” pile + 3” blocking behind pile + cover). Estimated length for 3rd

row bolt is 32” (10” waler + 10” pile + 10” waler + cover).

Q7. Splice plates for wales, nothing is specified or called out in the plans regarding replacement. If we are replacing,

A7. Intent is to match existing condition, which does not include splice plates.

Q8. The detail drawings of the pile clusters in this project significantly differ from the standard FDOT plans 471-030. Do

we base off the detail drawings in the plans or from FDOT standards?

flanking and approach spans, refer to Scope Items 18C and 19C on sheet B1-10 of the Plans.
